I Also Recommend:
In the east you generally get the feeling of peace and tranquility. You feel that the wisdom of ages of dedication of a people who set out everyday and be the best. A sense of nobility is what I get when I watch the film, the score is just as moving, it paints a vivid picture of an age long gone just by itself.

This is my favorite of Hans Zimmer's soundtracks. It is by turns soothing and peaceful and achingly sad and poignant. I am 17 and I like to listen to it when I paint and sketch because it's so calming and never fails to inspire me. Even if you didn't like the movie you will love the soundtrack. The blend of the grand Western-style symphony with the Japanese taiko, koto, and shakuhachi is exquisite and perfect. Not to be missed!

I usually like listening to rock music like Coheed and Cambra, UnderOath, and P.O.D.. I really love this music. After watching The Last Samurai, I have a new appretiation for Japan and Hans Zimmer music. Every song is great and really powerful especially the last song, "A Small Measure of Peace." This CD is recommended for everybody. This music really sets you at peace.

"Spirited Away" is the only word that comes to mind when you listen to this soundtrack. It sound even better if you've already watched the movie so I highly recommend it. All of the tracks are equally awesome in their own way so there isn't any "bad" track. My personal favorites are "Spectres in the Fog", and "A Small Measure of Peace". On a whole, this soundtrack is 95/100

Hans Zimmer is a genius *the orchestra is to thank as well* This movie's soundtrack is unbelievable. I think and it is said sometimes that music can make peoples emotions come out from the deapths of their hearts. The Last Samurai is a beautifully written epic that has emotions throughout the movie. This soundtrack makes the movie and its emotions. It is like a samurai. A samurai must wield a sword to be complete and to do battle. A movie must have music to be complete as a story for without music it would be boring and pathetic. I recommend this album to anyone who enjoys Japanese type mythical music to swing your sword to and jump around to. Or hey you can even relax to it.

After I saw "The Last Samurai", I just had to buy the soundtrack. It is worth every penny. The music is epic, yet quite relaxing. Buy this disc, and experience Han Zimmer's latest achievment in music.

Set in Japan during the 1870s, The Last Samurai tells the story of Captain Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise), an American military officer hired by the Emperor of Japan to train the country's army in the art of modern warfare. The music to the epic film was composed by Academy Award-winner Hans Zimmer (The Lion King, Gladiator), marking his 100th film score.All Music Guide - Heather Phares
Hans Zimmer's score for Edward Zwick's samurai epic The Last Samurai mixes his own densely composed style with Japanese instruments and melodies, resulting in a brooding, atmospheric collection of music. Shakuhachi and other flutes, koto, and taiko drums make their ...
