If you loved Platoon, try The Last Samurai
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Action / Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Platoon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Last Samurai is
Tokyo, late autumn, cherry blossoms fallen. A foreign soldier stands in a samurai village, katana at his feet, ancient code in the air. This epic marks a turning point in Zwick's career.
