This movie is well ahead of its time. One of the best the world cinema has to offer.
E.g. In the initial sequence we see the sun rays playing hide above the forest where 'we' look at the sun through trees. You may have seen similar shot in numerous movies. But do you know it is the first time in the history of cinema camera is every looking at sun this way?
Not as good as Yojimbo, but pretty solid.
Is it just me, or this film overtly sexist?
I second that. Maybe have Seven Samurai as a close second.
One of Kurosawa's best!
