I love The Last Samurai! I just bought it yesterday, in fact. I watched Seven Samurai awhile back, since I had heard so much about it, and though three-and-a-half hours in subtitles can be tedious, it was a great film. Started watching The Hidden Fortress this weekend, but haven't finished it yet. I'm becoming a Kurosawa fan, it seems. Mostly, I'm into chivalry and Medieval Europe and what not, but I've spent a lot of time lately dwelling on how cool it would be if a fusion of bushido and chivalry existed...I'm definitely looking more into the Japanese code of bushido.
