Movie is fairly long but you don’t feel it. Amazing was great editing and pacing can do when watching a film.

I remember thinking it was a great movie back in the day.
What is interesting is after watching it I did not remember it being in Japanese cause it was so easy to follow.

Recently watched Yojimbo and it seems it was the template for ‘A Fist Full of Dollars’.
|Also watched the 1941 version of 47 Ronin. 3hrs and 45 min. but I enjoyed it.

I saw that in 1980 in a theater. I wasn’t sure I could sit through a long Japanese-language movie, but it held my interest throughout.
Shortly afterwards, I saw “Battle Beyond the Stars,” which transports the seven samurai from sixteenth-century Japan to a planet called Akira in a distant galaxy—and that was a hoot.

Belushi spoiled all other versions for me. After Belushi, there is nothing more to say. How can you top perfection?

I have VHS widescreen and DVD copies. I’ve probably seen it half a dozen times. Simply a wonderful film.

First Kurosawa film I saw was “Ikiru” in a Japanese culture class I was taking for business trips back in the 80s.
The professor helpfully explained much of the movie’s subtleties to us.
For example, the protagonist is given a seat at dinner far away from the boss - not a word spoken about it. The implication was he was out of favor because of his unusual request to build a children’s playground on a vacant lot, instead of going along with the business plan.

Thanks for the ping. Would be worth seeing on a big screen.

Considered by many to be the greatest film ever made.
Certainly in the running.
