The film begins in the summer of 1876, introducing Captain Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise), a disenchanted ex-United States Army captain and an alcoholic, who is traumatized by his experience fighting in the Civil War and the Indian Wars. In the years following his army service, Algren makes his living by relating war stories to gun show audiences in San Francisco, an experience which further hampers his mental state. Fed up with Algren's perpetual drunkenness, his employer fires him, forcing Algren to accept an invitation by his former commanding officer Colonel Bagley (Tony Goldwyn), whom Algren despises and blames for his waking nightmares after his role in the massacring of Indians. Bagley approaches him with an offer on behalf of a Japanese businessman, Mr. Omura (Masato Harada), to help the new Meiji Restoration government train the new Western-style Imperial Japanese Army. Assisting them are Algren's old army colleague Sergeant Zebulon Gant (Billy Connolly) and Simon Graham (Timothy Spall), a British translator with a deep interest in the samurai.

IMDB Rating: 7.7/10

The Last Samurai (2003)

Under the command of Bagley, Algren and his companions travel to Japan. Japan is in the middle of drastic civil change, and the new Western-style additions to society have not gone unopposed. The samurai are conducting an armed insurrection against the modernization campaign, and it is for the purpose of suppressing this insurrection that Algren is called to Japan. The newly-formed Japanese Army is a poorly-trained and equipped conscripted army of peasants totally lacking in combat experience. Algren does his best to remedy this, but before the men are trained to his satisfaction, the leader of the insurrection, Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe), attacks a railroad outside his province. Bagley orders Algren to lead the inexperienced conscripts to engage Katsumoto. Algren protests and, in a demonstration, illustrates the army's inexperience and inadequate training. Bagley dismisses Algren's concerns and orders a regiment to track down and engage Katsumoto.

When the regiment arrives at the battlefield, Bagley moves to the rear and orders Algren to do the same, since the Americans are technically non-combatants. Algren refuses and takes personal command of the regiment. Algren then orders Sergeant Gant to report to the rear as well, but Gant refuses out of personal loyalty to Algren. During the battle, the conscripted peasants panic despite Algren's best efforts to keep them under control. Samurai swarm the wholly unprepared army and the soldiers flee in disarray. Algren and Gant stand their ground and manage to kill several samurai, but Gant is killed and Algren is thrown from his horse. On foot, he desperately fends off several samurai with a broken spear embroidered with a flag depicting a white tiger. The flag on the spear reminds Katsumoto of a vision he experienced during meditation. Katsumoto's brother-in-law, the red-masked samurai Hirotaro and Gant's killer, prepares to finish Algren as well, but Algren seizes a spear from the ground and stabs him through the throat. Believing what he has witnessed to be an omen, Katsumoto prevents his warriors finishing off the wounded Algren and takes him prisoner. Algren is taken to an isolated village, where he gradually recovers in a house belonging to Hirotaro's family, including his widow Taka, her two sons, Higen and Magojiro, and Katsumoto's son, Nobutada (Shin Koyamada).

The Last Samurai (2003)

The Last Samurai is a 2003 American epic drama film directed and co-produced by Edward Zwick, who also co-wrote the screenplay based on a story by John Logan. The film was inspired by a project developed by writer and director Vincent Ward, who had previously filmed the movie in 1990, starring Lance Henriksen, John Fujioka, and John Saxon. Ward became executive producer on the film – working in development on it for nearly four years and after approaching several directors (Coppola, Weir), he interested Edward Zwick. The film production went ahead with Zwick and was shot in Ward’s native New Zealand.

The Last Samurai (2003)

The film stars Tom Cruise (who also co-produced) in the role of American soldier Nathan Algren, whose personal and emotional conflicts bring him into contact with samurai warriors in the wake of the Meiji Restoration in the Empire of Japan in 1876 and 1877. Other actors include Ken Watanabe, Shin Koyamada, Tony Goldwyn, Hiroyuki Sanada, Timothy Spall, and Billy Connolly. The film's plot was inspired by the 1877 Satsuma Rebellion led by Saigō Takamori, and also on the stories of Jules Brunet, a French army captain who fought alongside Enomoto Takeaki in the earlier Boshin War and Frederick Townsend Ward, an American mercenary who helped Westernize the Chinese army by forming the Ever Victorious Army.

The Last Samurai (2003)

The historical roles of the British Empire, the Netherlands and France in Japanese westernization are largely attributed to the United States in the film. These details, characters in the film and the real story are simplified for plot purposes and to maximize income from US audiences; the film does not seek to duplicate history. The Last Samurai was well received upon release, with a worldwide box office of $456 million. In addition it was nominated for several awards, including the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes and the National Board of Review.

..:: Italian synopsis ::..
Il capitano Nathan Algren è un uomo alla deriva. Ha rischiato la vita per lealtà verso il suo paese, ma dagli anni della guerra civile il mondo è cambiato. Il pragmatismo ha preso il posto del coraggio, l'interesse personale prevale sul sacrificio e il senso dell'onore non esiste più, soprattutto nel west, che conosce bene per aver avuto un ruolo nelle guerre contro gli indiani, che lo hanno lasciato disilluso e angosciato. Da qualche parte nelle spietate pianure lungo le rive del wahita, Algren ha smarrito la sua anima. In un universo distante, un altro soldato vede andare in pezzi il suo mondo. E' katsumoto l'ultimo erede di una dinastia di guerrieri, i samurai, che hanno consacrato la loro vita al servizio dell'imperatore e del paese. Come la modernità ha stravolto il west, espropriando e mettendo al bando i nativi americani, così ha sopraffatto il giappone tradizionale. Le linee telegrafiche e ferroviarie che hanno portato il progresso ora minacciano quei valori e quei codici per i quali i samurai si sono sacrificati per secoli.Ma katsumoto non se ne andrà senza lottare. Le strade di questi due combattenti si incontreranno…

I volumi di ripristino, o file .rev, sono file speciali creati da WinRAR e che possono essere utilizzati per ricostruire uno o più volumi mancanti o danneggiati di un archivio multi-volume. Questo comando ha senso solo per archivi multi-volume.
Questa prestazione può essere utile per copie di sicurezza o, ad esempio, quando postate un archivio multi-volume in un news-group e qualcuno degli utenti non ha ricevuto alcuni file. Postando solamente il volume di ripristino invece di tutti i file mancanti ai vari utenti, si può ridurre il numero dei file da rispedire.

Un file .rev permette di ricostruire un volume RAR mancante o danneggiato, uno qualsiasi di quelli che compongono l'archivio multi-volume. Ad esempio, se avete un archivio multi-volume composto da 30 volumi e 3 volumi di ripristino, potete ricostruire sino a 3 volumi presi tra qualsiasi dei 30 originali. Se il numero dei file .rev è inferiore al numero dei volumi da ricostruire, la ricostruzione è impossibile. Il numero totale dei volumi normali e di quelli di ripristino non può superare i 255.

I volumi originali RAR non devono essere modificati dopo la creazione dei volumi di ripristino. L'algoritmo di ripristino utilizza i dati memorizzati sia nei volumi di ripristino che in quelli RAR per ricostruire i volumi RAR mancanti. Quindi se modificate un volume RAR, ad esempio bloccandolo dopo aver creato dei file .REV, l'operazione di ripristino fallisce.
WinRAR ricostruisce i volumi mancanti o danneggiati sia cliccando direttamente su di un file .rev, sia utilizzando il comando rc (Il comando rc è un opzione da usare con rar versione dos, se si usa winrar per win non va considerata)
o automaticamente se non può individuare un volume seguente e trova un numero sufficiente di file .rev.

=======================================

Recovery Volumes (.rev)

Recovery volumes or .rev files are special files which can be created by WinRAR/RAR and allow you to reconstruct missing and damaged files in a volume set. They can
only be used with multi-volume archives.

This feature may be useful for backups or, for example, when you post a multivolume archive to a newsgroup and some of the subscribers did not receive some files. Reposting recovery volumes instead of usual volumes may reduce the total number of files to repost.

Each recovery volume is able to reconstruct one missing RAR volume. For example, if you have 30 volumes and 3 recovery volumes, you are able to reconstruct any 3 missing volumes. If the number of .rev files is less than a number of missing volumes, reconstructing is impossible. The total number of usual and recovery volumes must not exceed 255 and the number of recovery volumes must be less than the number of RAR volumes.

WinRAR reconstructs missing and damaged volumes either when clicking on .rev file, or when using rc command or automatically, if it cannot locate the next volume and finds the required number of .rev files when unpacking.

You may use the "Recovery volumes" option in the Archive name and parameters dialog or a similar option also appears in the Protect archive command to create recovery volumes. In the command line mode you may do it with -rv switch or rv command.

Original copies of damaged volumes are renamed to *.bad before reconstruction. For example, volname.part03.rar will be renamed to volname.part03.rar.bad.
