DVR'd this a few weeks ago because I have not seen it in ages.
Seeing so much more this time than I ever did... Kurosawa was a genius.
I know, inspired by John Ford, Frank Capra and others... But he also took huge inspration from his family roots and Japanese tradition and legend.
And all those movies where the 'one central character' goes out and recruits a band to go and right a wrong (From The Magnificent Seven to Uncommon Valor to Predator and Star Wars... can trace their roots to the story line.
Such a fun story to watch...
In troubled times, we need good escapism and a hope that in bad times, good folks will rise up and protect the weak, instead of exploiting them.
