movie out

we went to the cheap theater and watched The Last Samurai tonight. It was a lot better than I expected. Better than the previews led both of us to believe.



Now, personally I can't believe that anyone who knew better would charge cavalry strait up the line of fire of stationary Howitzers, no matter how soon they expected to die. But maybe that's just me.

otherwise, it was pretty good.

I don't pretend to understand the psychology behind that action, but I bought into it enough to not get taken out of the story. Frankly I have to say that I expected to see that kind of futile tactic, well before they got to that point.

Overall I loved that movie. It was one of my favorites from last year. And I'm not usually a big what's-his-name fan. My friend who I saw it with was also blown away by the movie.
