The fierce Mifune Toshiro

Some people say that this is Kurosawa Akira's worst film, because it is relatively shallow, and it is said that this is Kurosawa Akira's most famous film, because Lucas of "Star Wars" imitated the clues of two puppets escorting the escaped princess in this film. It is also shallow. Okay, whether it's an entertainment film template, I laughed from start to finish. Toshiro Mifune, holding his sword high in both hands, dashed across Malaysia, the most handsome in history! Although the princess has a very sharp voice, her face and figure are quite moving, and she is full of leadership style, which is much more seductive than the somewhat mother-in-law Princess Léa in Star Wars. The two shabby samurai who are puppets are hateful and cute, as if the humanity of the monk in Rashomon said that there is still hope.
A few classic shots are also as evocative as still time: a
few scattered samurai crossing the border in the fog, the fog gradually disappeared from their group, only to see them and the pale gray outline of the hillside, unfolding like a silhouette.
The two skirmishers explained their plan to cross the border to the general played by Toshiro Mifune. They used branches to mark the territories of the three domains on the sand and marked their flags, meniscus, sanwa, and river. The unexpected use of symbols hinted to me the simple wisdom of ordinary people.
After receiving the news of her sister's murder, Mifune walked through the woods and caves with heavy steps to meet the princess. The long, speechless shots are only the sound of waterfalls.
They mixed into the local flame festival. The two puppets refused to throw the gold-laden firewood into the fire, almost revealing the contents. Mifune dumped the firewood into the fire, and the flames burst.
And the last two skirmishers walked out of the gate, simple conversations and complicated smiles.

    Two words: good-looking! By the way, how much does Kurosawa like Mifune's white thighs...

    The image of the poor is nothing to brag about. The second half of the movie makes me want to sleep. 2.5

The Hidden Fortress quotes

  • Tahei: Now's our chance to give him the slip.

    Matakishi: Shhh.

    [He points at Princess Yuki sitting right behind them]

    Tahei: Don't worry. She's mute.

    Matakishi: She's mute but she can hear.

    Tahei: Stupid. A mute can't speak because they're deaf.

  • General Rokurota Makabe: [sees Tahei and Matashichi scrambling down the rocks, trying to escape] Hey! where are you going?

    Tahei: Boss, run! The Yamana soldiers found us! There were horses by the spring!

    General Rokurota Makabe: Idiots! I stole those.

    TaheiMatakishi: Huh?
