 Posted: Sat, 20th Dec 2014 23:06 Post subject: Films \ TV Series similar to The Last Samurai \ Shogun? |
|
 |
I don't mean about Japan , rather films dealing with a particular situation as in a man(or a woman), finds himself in a totally foreign country (adventurer\enslaved\whatever), not knowing its customs, traditions, faces different challenges that he has to overcome, learns the ways of the people of this different culture, probably falls in love with a local princess (or a peasant girl lol) which in turn causes problems, helps the people who eventually become his family to ,say, defend their land\village\country, you name it etc etc
Something like that 
Films can be old or even "ancient", it's not a problem.
Avatar,The New World, Outlander (2008) , Outlander (TV series),The 13th Warrior come to mind.
A suggested films list:
Lost in Translation
The Last of the Mohicans
The Bounty
1492 Conquest of Paradise
Kingdom of Heaven
Dances with wolves
Gladiator
Hotel Rwanda
English Patient
Lawrence of arabia
mulan Cool Face (is actually good tho )
Broken Arrow (old)
Ben-Hur
Three Kings
braveheart 
Jungle Child
Nowhere in africa
The painted veil
Planet of the Apes 
The Beast / Beast
Babel
Blade Runner
Under the skin
Marco Polo
seven years in Tibet
The Fifth Element
ET
Finding Nemo
Empire of the Sun
Coming to America
The Mission
Pathfinder
Mongol
The Jungle Book
Transformers
Pocahontas
Spartacus (series)
Rambo 4
Matrix
the road to el dorado
Red Corner

Lost in Translation? Probably not what you're looking for, but an excellent foreign culture movie nonetheless.

I look at the list in the OP and can't find a single thread to tie all movies together.

it's dealing with something he can't really cope and slowly becomes a better person as he handles the task at hand.
all of those movies are about a person against his odds coming to terms and becoming something greater than what he was in the beginning.

netflix' marco polo is pretty much a china setting version of last samurai/ dances wtih wolves/ avatar/pocahontas.
white man finds himself in a different culture, learns their ways better than them, fucks their prettiest women and becomes very popular among everyone.
