yojimbo

OF the three movies we watched by Kurosawa, i thought that Yojimbo was probably the best one, just because Sanjuro kept slicing people up and it was really entertaining to watch the plot develop to the end. Its pretty unrestricted narration so we know whats gonna happen eventually.This movie reminds me of once upon a time in the west, cause there were the 2 different crews, and the harmonica guy, kind of got one crew to help him take out another crew, so he could get his revenge and what not. But it also reminds me of the lone hero, and Sanjuro and Harmonica are just that, cause they want to get to their goal, and do what it ever it takes to get to that, and Sanjuro kind of wants money at first, but then he ends up saving the couple, and the old guy so it shows his compassionate and heroic side.. And its the same thing that Harmonica does, he says that girl and tries to safe the guy that helps him, but he dies.. Theres also the gusts in the sand and with the leafs, so it sort of reminds me of the weather deal with Kuro.. but yea good stuff.

Rear Window...

This movie by Hitchcock was probably my favorite of the three we watched, just because it had a little more of a dramatic effect on the audience, and it was very suspenseful and good. It kind of reminds me of a Saw movie, because you see the movie through the eyes of various characters.. This gives the film more of a unrestricted narration, which is always good, keeps the viewer in suspense, even thought we know what is possibly going to come in the film. Saw this in the way that there are multiple people trying to figure something out, and they will show a lot of different scenes where the different characters sort of play their own story in a single or multiple scene, and this helps to give background on characters and also build up a theme, which is the same thing done in rear window and its good stuff..
