We’re Going to the Movies!
I saw The Last Samurai last night with a buddy and got wowed. The score is really kool and the cinematography is gorgeous.
The part that interested me the most was when Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) and Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe) are discussing strategy for their “last stand” battle and Algren mentions the Battle of Thermopylae. Later on, when they’re waiting for the arrow onslaught to end, Katsumoto asks Algren about Thermopylae’s outcome. “They (the Greeks) fight to the last man,” Algren replies. Katsumoto smiles, draws his sword, and they charge on to the battlefield. I suppose there are some things that you read about which will always stay with you. Thermopylae is one of them for me. (Gates of Fire, anyone?)
Some other flicks I’d like to see:
- Cheaper By the Dozen (Tom Welling, girls. Need I say more?)
- Paycheck
- Big Fish
- The Butterfly Effect
- The Passion of the Christ
- Hidalgo
