Editor's note

The Last Samurai (2003), directed by Edward Zwick, features Zimmer blending traditional Japanese instruments with orchestral elements, crafting a score that enhances the film's exploration of honor, culture, and transformation. Tom Cruise's journey as an American officer amidst the Samurai rebellion is underscored by Zimmer's evocative music, which captures the spirit of the era and the emotional arc of the characters.
