By skyforbes So there appears (based on what I've seen here and elsewhere) that there's some confusion over the films title.
Either Tom Cruise is the titular "last samurai" (option 1), or Katsumoto and his followers are, collectively, the last of the samurai (option 2).
So, r/movies, which is it.
(Same question could be asked of The Last of The Monica's, I guess.)
