I heard early on that "Red Dead Redemption" was adapted from Kurosawa Akira's "Intentional Stick", but there are many ways to adapt it. The most outstanding adaptation is new wine in old bottles, to create a second time. The worst adaptation is to copy it intact. I really don’t know it. I was shocked when I saw it, except that the scene of "Red Dead Redemption" changed from a Japanese village to a small western town, with a knife turned into a gun player, other character designs, plot trends and even line processing were almost the same as Kurosawa. The previous works of Ming Dynasty are exactly the same. I was stupefied that Leonne had directly taken Kurosawa's script and filmed it. It seems that this master who later made a great movie like "Once Upon a Time in America" was also inevitable when he first debuted. Traces of imitation, or simply called worship.
Because of the bead and jade in the front, Leonnet’s adaptation seems quite satisfactory. The original political allegories and doomsday prophecies are all gone. Eastwood’s shooting posture is very handsome, and it’s cool to be surrounded by a blanket-like coat all over his body. To the extreme, but the calm tough guy is still inferior to Mifune Toshiro, who always shrugs his shoulders. After all, Mifune has won the Venetian actor twice (one of which was based on "Intentional Stick"), and Ister Wood later became an outstanding director, but his performances were more typified and idolized. No wonder the old man won the Oscar Director Award twice, but the film actor never paid attention (it seems that there are very few nominations)
