Everything in the movie was beautiful, except maybe for some of the fight scenes. What's letting it down the most however are the Japanese actors. Now I'm not talking about Ken Watanabe or Katsumoto's right hand, but the Emperor and his men. So extremely dull and stiff. Really damaged the film for me. Amazing cinematography, score and environment. 8/10
shareI don't know, I thought they were okay. As good an actor as Cruise is, I thought they should have cast some unknown in his role.
shareImperial Japan was and modern Japan is still a very stiff place. I'm sorry your cultural knowledge is so deficient!
Hey! You're not old enough to drink! Now go and die for your country!!!
"So extremely dull and stiff. "
So they were perfect. Don't you have any information about japanese culture, people, and especially under strict governmental and also societal unwritten rules? It scares many people stiff. Military people would be the most stiff people of course.
These actors portrayed things extremely realistically, all things considered. So what are you complaining about?
