The Last Samurai (2003)

Samurais have always been pretty cool to audiences. From their expertise in wielding a sword, to their stealthiness, people are drawn in. Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai was never a popular film in 2003. 

Today, however, going back to the issue of someone playing a character of a different race is one aspect that would probably be panned. The historical inaccuracies of the film would also be under the microscope as well.
