The staring before the attack looked just like the staring between Hakuho and Terunofuji before their bout today.

Everyone knows Toshiro Mifune from the Kurosawa "stable," but by far Kurosawa's most versatile actor was Takashi Shimura, who played the "Chris" Yul-Brynner role in Seven Samurai. Unless you watch old postwar Japanese movies as different as Ikiru and Gojira, you would have no idea how good he was.

I loved “Odetsu” (spelling?), a romantic ghost story. Not Kurosawa, and a whole different style. “Yojimbo” was great too.
