Last Samurai & Breakfast at Tiffany's

Abstract: A 5 page research paper/analysis of 2 films. The Last Samurai (2003, directed by Edward Zwick) is the quintessential action adventure film with sufficient battle scenes to interest a male audience. Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961, directed by Blake Edwards) is a romantic comedy that focuses on a love story, and is therefore appealing to women. The writer argues that underlying both films are narratives that are similar in that their protagonists, Nathan in Samurai and Holly in Tiffany's, are trying to escape the pain of their past and find a new life. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
