The Last Samurai is such a great movie and it has a great soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. This song and “A Small Measure of Peace” are my favourite tracks from this album. Red Warrior is a special track, as it changed character 3 times within the sing itself which is about 4 minutes long. Listen to the beautiful start, the powerful strings and then it takes off at around 1:20, and this is my favourite part with all the warriors chanting, I love it. It fills me with honour and pride whenever I hear it, makes me go out there, draw my sword and into battle. Then it changes character again around the 2 minute mark, and it goes into a more frantic tone. Listen to this song and tell me what you think.
By the way, I have made a tribute to Hans Zimmer over at Squidoo. Check it out here: Hans Zimmer Tribute
