This is the perfect lone wolf and lonely fighter movie. It provided a template for many Hollywood imitations like ‘Last Man standing’ with Bruce Willis.
Akira Kurusawa is one amazing men. Japan’s greatest director, his movies like Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Ran and Dreams just blew away any western competition.
Hollywood copied many of his movies.
His solid storytelling and his talent to create amazing characters, just glues me to the screen every time! Hardly any director - apart from Steven Spielberg or David Lean has made so many epical movies.
