The purpose of this blog entry is not to make a review of this 1950 Akira Kurosawa masterpiece.
The end in view, my lovelies, is the introduction of this film into your consciousness, the possible result of which is you searching the world wide web for a free download of the movie, you finally watching it alone or with another curious movie junkie, you wanting to get to the core of the narrative and, finally, you getting your attention caught by the female lead character's forehead and thinking to yourself, "With all due respect Kurosawa-san, didn't the budget cover for a make-up artist to trim the bushy brows?"
See what I mean?
Watch it and tell me what you think. (Will somebody tell me who killed this woman's husband? )
maybe the bushy eyebrows were in vogue? bushy eyebrows equals sexy? hehehe...
ReplyDeletei saw a kurosawa film eons ago. yojimbo. i was a naive freshman so the best memory i can pull out the hat is that it was it was black and white and there was blood. hehehe.. but now that i've taken a liking to samuraii bloodbaths, akira kurosawa is definitely on my after-the-bar film fest.

ReplyDeleteI will be film-feasting on Kurosawa post-bar, too.
