Now, if you like period films, you can give this one a try. The last Samurai. The film, nominated for four Oscars, stars Tom Cruise and tells the story of an American captain who is sent to Japan to train the troops of Emperor Meiji (Shichinosuke Nakamura) after he reopens the country’s borders. But, upon learning about Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe) and the samurai code of honor, he is left unsure which side to defend.

In addition to the Oscar, the film was nominated for three Golden Globe categories and is an excellent choice for anyone who is feeling orphaned at the end of Shogun: The Glorious Saga of Japan.
