But there’s something about The Last Samurai that makes it different. It lets go of the Hollywood trope that the American hero is superior to the indigenous culture he dives into. The film isn’t about the Western protagonist, it’s about two warriors divided by culture, but united by their values. Let’s examine the way The Last Samurai creates feelings of empathy while subverting a Hollywood cliché and delivers an interesting message about life and finding peace.
