Last Samourai



Marvelous Soundtrack - Hans Zimmer The Last Samourai







I remembered to have discovered and watched the first samourai in 2009 i think
when i came back from uk to france during my break time

I totally felt mesmerized by the music

it touches really the soul
actually it feels like it expresses the longing of the soul


yes i think if a soundtrack had to personalise the unheard voice of the soul
it would be this one

Here some comments i read :

"While writing the score for The Last Samurai, Zimmer felt that his knowledge of Japanese music was extremely limited. He began doing extensive research, but the more he studied, the less he felt he knew. Finally, Zimmer took what he had written to Japan for feedback and was shocked when he was asked how he knew so much about Japanese music." - (http://ew.com/gallery/hans-zimmer-reflects-15-his-memorable-film-scores/)

The more you learn the less you find to know. I feel this way with music, and art. 
Why the more we learn 
the less we feel we know?
I remember at School
the more i did in depth research
the less i thought i had gained real knowledge of the stuff

yet once  the work 
was handed over and graded
it was always the best

I was even told to sold it
to the companies concerned
so professionally interesting it was 

and i found out why we have 
this kind of opposite feeling
when we work so much 
and try with passion to find 
stuff to nourish the soul desire to learn more

is because 
when the soul 
as a drop falls into the sea
then it feels it knows nothing

yet it has managed to target 
and fall into the sea

while other remained on the shore
and never jumped into it 

so the more you enter
the ocean of knowledge
as is obviously not in your drop like power to encompass 
and thus to control and deform it to your liking
to make it follow the path of a tiny river

you are overpowered by its existence
and you think you know nothing
while in truth you targeted the bull's eye


so is not about grabing knowledge by its ball
as mccoffee would say
but is about KNOWING that you are already there 

so to BE 
is vaster than to KNOW

thus you think you know nothing.
is true, you don't,
because you ARE that knowledge in Essence


PS : for the Americans :

This movie is seriously cool .... But why American always said they are the hero of all adventure ? The real " Last Samurai " Was french .... it was a French general ( im not sure he was general ) . it was during the the revolt of Satsuma he's name was Jules Brunet. Watch in an history book :D He was comming for help the japanese emperor but he decided to walk with the samourai.
LOL hahaha
cracked me up
