The story tells the story of a wandering samurai who uses his heart stick to fight between two waves of villains to destroy the villains and restore peace to the town. The depth brought out by the background of the story is reminiscent of an old Chinese film "Spring Silkworm", but Akira Kurosawa did not choose to make a fuss about the suffering of class. On the whole, it is also a movie with a partial story, so there are no special highlights in the characters and details. There are two minor controversial issues with the play. First, the samurai's two-end design is deceptive, and it is inevitable that the audience will feel unreasonable after repeated several times. The villain looks too stupid, and there is no simple questioning and communication. The second is the appearance of Chou Yin's second younger brother, including the couple whose family was separated due to gambling. There are too many new elements in the story, and the structure of the play needs to be discussed. After all, the last time I cut into the new element was the people of the government. The government's position of not serving the people was also closely related to the expression of the front, and the latter's wife snatching and the despicable villains with pistols were not so intertwined.

Yojimbo quotes

  • Hansuke: Samurai, wanna make some dough as a bodyguard? The going rate has hit the roof. My commission's one ryo. Which side will you take? Seibei Manome runs a brothel. All the women you want. But he's going downhill. I'd bet on Ushitora Shinden. The inn at the corner. That's his place. Tell him Constable Hansuke sent you. I'd take you myself, but I'm the law around here. Don't forget, now. I get one ryo.

  • Gonji - Tavern Keeper: There he goes again! The casket maker. Only guy in town making any money. Can't make coffins fast enough. It's best not to have any gamblers at all. One boss to a town we can tolerate, but two is a disaster. Only the casket maker profits from that. Knock it off, you bastard!
