Captain Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise), The Last Samurai (2003)

I love it when Tom Cruise’s characters are defeated or crushed bc no matter how beaten down they are, there’s always this intense resistance in the eyes, like, You may have won the battle, but nOT THE WAR U BETTER WATCH YOUR BACK ASSHOLE(S).

Also Mortal Brunet!Lestat admitting defeat, bc this is also how he reacts when he lets kids beat him at Pokemon Go: “Oh no HOW did u beat my amazing magikarp? I am defeated. DEFEATED. My mother will disown me. I have brought shame to my entire family.”
