Partito non a razzo negli Usa,\u00a0L’ultimo samurai<\/em>\u00a0di Edward Zwick (co-prodotto da Tom Cruise) \u00e8 un affresco epico di grande respiro su un’epoca, intorno al 1876, in cui il giovane imperatore Meiji inizia ad introdurre un moderato riformismo nei costumi e nella societ\u00e0 nipponica (oltre alle armi da fuoco, sono gli anni delle prime strade ferrate). Un’epoca di trapasso, dunque, che vede schierati e ferocemente contrapposti i fieri paladini del progresso a tutti i costi e gli altrettanto strenui difensori di una tradizione, come quella dei samurai, che per secoli ha dato gloria al Giappone a prezzo della propria vita. Il termine samurai, non a caso, indica ‘colui che serve’. Uomini votati ad un disciplina che non di rado porta all’auto-annientamento contro armi automatiche (dai rudi fucili Winchester decantati da Cruise nella scena iniziale fino ai cannoni della battaglia finale) impugnate da individui senza alcun senso dell’onore. Un tema non nuovo, gi\u00e0 magnificamente svolto da Ermanno Olmi ne “Il mestiere delle armi<\/em>” (2000), che qui il regista correda di un afflato magniloquente (la critica ha, non a caso, citato\u00a0Braveheart<\/em>\u00a0e\u00a0Balla coi lupi<\/em>\u00a0come punti di riferimento pi\u00f9 vicini) ma senza scadere nella retorica. Colpisce l’attenzione al dettaglio che sottende tutta la storia, dai lunghi piani-sequenza delle battaglie fino ai gesti, solo apparentemente insignificanti, delle comparse. Anche questo, in fondo, \u00e8 parte della cultura orientale, che sembra essere stata perfettamente interiorizzata dagli autori (la sceneggiatura \u00e8 stata scritta da Zwick insieme a John Logan e Marshall Herskovitz) , oltre che dagli interpreti. Cruise, che per il ruolo ha ricevuto una nomination agli Oscar, indossa, forse per la prima volta, lo ‘scalpo’ di un personaggio tanto complesso, e se la cava con la tenacia e il mestiere che lo contraddistinguono. Ma la vera notizia di questa pellicola che ha la veste del blockbuster – costata 140 milioni di dollari e circa due anni di fatiche sui set dislocati tra Giappone, Nuova Zelanda e Los Angeles – \u00e8 che la sua ‘anima’ \u00e8 antica: bandita la sovrabbondanza degli effetti speciali, che ormai hanno contaminato l’immaginario filmico universale, il cinema ritrova se stesso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
