Notes: To be honest, I didnāt remember that this movie was so long (it would be in fact Akira Kurosawaās longest directing effort) but it didnāt matter since the damned thing was so entertaining. Thanks to the long running time, we had indeed the opportunity to understand what was going on with this village, what was their struggle and how they would try to find a solution. In the following acts, they really took their time to show the strategy developed by the samurais instead of giving us some non-sensical action scenes like you usually get in a Michael Bay movie for example. Eventually, it is one of these rare movies which, even though it is more than 60 years old, still feels so modern and it was basically a major milestone in motion picture history as it is usually considered as the first action movie ever made. At the end of the day, even though it might not be my favorite movie directed by Kurosawa, I still really enjoyed the damned thing and it is much better than its remake which was still a worthy movie though.
“I already saw this movie but it was such a long time ago, I have to admit that I actually didnāt remember anything about the damned thing so I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, eventually, it turned out to be a decentĀ watchĀ and I can imagine that it must have been on Kirk Douglas” read more
“To be honest, I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but I was so intrigued by its story so I really wanted to check it out at some point. Basically, I was around the same age as Brian was when I met my wife and she was around the same age as Arielle. On top of that, she was married at ” read more
Notes: To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick but it had such an impact on me at the time, I still can remember it vividly. Indeed, I was very young when I saw it and I had never seen anything like this before. I mean, when I did watch some classics when I was much younger, I didnāt always connect with them right away but, with this one, it was a completely different story. Indeed, it is probably one of the most fascinating movie I have ever seen. In fact, Iām usually not really good with movies involving a lot of symbolism and there were here so many layers and so many meanings. The fact that nothing was explained whatsoever at the end made the whole thing even more mesmerizing though. Itās a pity I havenāt watched more movies directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini since I became instantly fascinated by this director after watching this flick. Eventually, I do believe it might be one of the most difficult movies to comprehend that I have seen but it is eventually really rewarding. 
“To be honest, I wasnāt really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even though the damned thing definitely had some potential, unfortunately, it was just so poorly developed. The most annoying thing was the fa” read more

“Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this movie, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, after watching the rather abysmal āSpenser Confidentialā and āMile 22ā, it was rather satisfying to see that, at some point, Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg actually knew what they were doing” read more
