  The Last Samurai (2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
And this is one reason "The Last Samurai," despite a bunch of probable Oscars, is going to miss its target of becoming a beloved classic, an action/adventure epic for the ages.
Still, "The Last Samurai" manages to succeed in a number of ways -- mainly in presenting nineteenth-century Japan in a remarkably realistic way, and in its brutal battle scenes, shot in gory "Braveheart"-style by the great cinematographer John Toll.
It is in these terrifying, agonizing moments of sword-versus-rifle battle that Zwick comes closest to emulating his obvious hero, Akira Kurosawa, and manages to comment on the tragedy and insanity of war.

  Last - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In shoemaking, a last is a rounded oblong block used to approximate the form of the human foot used by a cobbler to help make or mend shoes.
Lasts were traditionally made of wood but are now normally made from blocks of plastic, milled using CNC machines.
Lasts are made from soft materials such as wood and plastic because they need to be able to have small nails (called lasting tacs) hammered into them to hold parts of the shoe in place during manufacture and then removed.

 The Last Temptation Reconsidered   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Likewise, insisting that the "last temptation" is only fantasy is insufficient to deflect all criticism (and in the film the coupling is more graphic than in the novel).
The Last Temptation of Christ is prefaced with his remarkable statement of spiritual and artistic purpose, an excerpt of which Scorsese uses to introduce the film, and and some of which appears in a fuller context in Kazantzakis' spiritual memoir, Report to Greco (1961).
The sensational material of the "last temptation" proves necessary in order to bring out the full idea of what the sacrifice entails and some sense of the need to transcend the simple and humanly understandable desire for self-satisfaction.

In order to be eligible for debt relief, for example, dozens of `developing' countries have been forced to abandon public social programmes over the last 20 years, allowing foreign corporations to come in and sell their health and education `products' to `consumers' who can afford them and leaving millions without basic social services.
