Akira Kurosawa has always been at the master level in my heart, from the Seven Samurai to this step, the weight is roughly equal to that of Xie Jin of China and James Cameron of the United States. The 61-year-old movie, the black-and-white movie 55 years ago, still looks exciting and classic. The film still has a certain style of drama, and the characters are vivid, bold, lively, and exaggerated. The scenes fit perfectly, and the music is very Japanese. Ronin is wild and uninhibited, strong in martial arts, affectionate and righteous, resourceful, and has a strong control force. The characters such as farmers, village heads, hotel owners, and coffin shop owners are well portrayed. It can be said that none of the characters in the film are mediocre, and they are all wonderfully portrayed! Like Xie Jin's Furong Town, there are many dramatic elements in the movie, but they are perfectly blended, and entertainment and artistry coexist. Black God!

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!
