Review of Yojimbo (1961) by Christopher B — 15 Jun 2017
Kurosawa provides a great mindset of a village torn apart by betrayal and greed, and provides Toshiro Mifune a character that has influenced many from Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name to Heath Ledger's Joker.
The moments are dark yet powerful, the direction is simple but intriguing. Two warring sides and sometimes in order to find piece, it is better to see them burn each other out to exhaustion. It's not only a landmark in filmmaking history, but powerful social commentary that has aged well to this day.
