One of the things that I love is
watching movies and one of my favorites directors is Akira Kurosawa. He is
Japanese, but his work is very special because he mix oriental and occidental
things. One film that proves that is Yojimbo. Like many other times, the main
role is in the hands of Toshirō Mifune.
This film is like a western with katanas. This
movie is about a rōnin (a samurai without a master) that wander with his sword
like a mercenary. He arrives to a town where are two groups that fight each
other for the power. Both groups try to make that the samurai fights for their
side.
Like other times happens with films
of Kurosawa, this movie was remade by the Italian director Sergio Leone in “Per
un pugno di dollari” (1964) and by Walter Hill in “Last Man Standing” (1996),
but obviously, the mastery of Kurosawa have not equal.
I haven't watched much movies by Kurosawa. I only have watched "Rashomon" xDDD I am a ignorant xD
ResponderEliminarLike Cheryl, I only have watched Rashomon, the first time I watched it I didn't like it, but now I have watched it like three times and I like it.
