The sword through the heart is too powerful!

I think this drama is a good start into Kurosawa Akira's world.

It is fast-paced, full of popular and entertaining plots: martial arts, strategy, justice, master duel, blood, humor and so on. But there is no lack of deep meaning and superb shooting skills.

The first feeling after watching it is that Master Kurosawa can make such a story with relatively simple and simple content so well, and he also brings the whole drama to an end with a classic confrontation and profound reflection that is passed down to later generations. This drama made me admire Akira Kurosawa very much, and the level of love is second only to the Servant of Seven.

I sincerely recommend it to anyone who has never seen Akira Kurosawa, or who always think Akira Kurosawa is old-fashioned.

    It's not too late to watch after 13 years! Thirteen Lang's sympathy for Thirteen Lang is not something that Zhang Che can learn (Mist). With these two love-killing films, Kurosawa Akira has been changed.

    Amazed! Four and a half stars! To be honest, Akira Kurosawa only watched Rashomon's movies when he was a child. I’ve basically forgotten about it. I’ve watched several master films this year, all of which are purely literary films. It’s good or bad, but it has to be digested slowly. . Akira Kurosawa's film. . Simply for a modern audience! It looks good and the lens space is top notch. If he is still alive, it is estimated that all blockbusters will be lined up for Kurosawa Akira to shoot!

Sanjuro quotes

  • Sanjûrô Tsubaki: Why are you looking at me like that? You want to draw your swords? Forget it. A stupid friend's sword is deadlier than an enemy's.

  • Chidori, Mutsuta's daughter: It's so quiet, even in the daytime. You can lean back in the hay and feel like you're floating. Enveloped in its scent, you drift into a dreamy haze.
