look at the pink smoke

[mrsubconscious]

I can even see how this film might've been an influence on Michael Mann when he made Heat.

It's so weird to see Mifune playing a non-samurai role. I've only seen Throne of Blood, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, and Rashomon. I have to see this and Stray Dog next.

@devastateurface you should watch ikiru too

[2morro2]

This film is a gem.And the scene where he goes to score the smack is surreal.Long live the master of film.

[blaed]

i gotta see this. I wonder if 'Ransom' took any ideas from it.

[chinopisces]

I believe so. A lot of movies were influenced by Kurosawa.

[textthing]

I saw Ransom, and the influence is quite obvious. For instance, the scene where the police arrive disguised as department store delivery men, done very simply yet subtly by Kurosawa, is dumbed down and made overly obvious by the Ron Howard film.

[chinopisces]

You're right...I never realized that...

That's very perceptive of you.

[MattIAm1987]

This is a really, really great film.

Surprisingly, my first Kurosawa. It's fantastic.

[colvinis]

Kurosawa's best film (in my opinion, at least).
