When it comes to discussing the best historical epics of the modern era, the conversation tends to revolve around the same few movies, which is completely fair when a great deal of them weren’t of a particularly high standard. Despite both being one of the best and most successful, though, The Last Samurai has never really gotten its due.
The only blockbuster adventures set in the distant past to arrive during the post-Gladiator boom that earned more money at the box office than the Tom Cruise vehicle’s $456 million were Ridley Scott’s Oscar winneer and Wolfgang Petersen’s Troy, while The Last Samurai is indisputably a much better film than the slew of subpar historical stories to emerge throughout the 2000s and 2010s.
