With Heart Stick (Akira Kurosawa), Eisenstein found inspiration by looking at kanji radical combinations and Japanese Kabuki performances and Noh while thinking about film montages. Understand the meaning combination and rhythm of montage. The stylization of Akira Kurosawa's films is precisely that he combines the sense of rhythm in the Japanese Noh Kabuki performance art with the language of the film, and achieves a certain harmony inside and outside. This kind of harmony is only found in Kurosawa's films. Especially with stories like Heart Stick, and his films are always filled with a kind of fullness that is ready to go, like the tension of the samurai all the time. It is good that such full emotions cannot be discouraged. This is somewhat different from the martial arts films in our country. Like Tsui Hark, he pursues a romantic feeling that is both real and illusory. Akira Kurosawa's films are the pinnacle of his aesthetic style, and each one is a rare treasure.
