Say he can have his father.
1033
02:
03:33,781 -- 02:03:36,449
Watch his movements
1034
02:
03:36,617 -- 02:03:38,910
and send out your assassins.
1035
02:

I'm Iost.
1036
02:
03:57,138 -- 02:03:59,431
Such is the human condition.
1037
02:
04:03,310 -- 02:04:04,936
This path,
1038
02:
04:06,480 -- 02:04:08,189
I remember...
1039
02:
04:09,150 -- 02:04:11,276
We came this way before.
1040
02:
04:11,444 -- 02:04:14,446
Men always traveI the same road.
1041
02:
04:15,072 -- 02:04:17,782
lf you're tired of it, jump!
1042
02:
05:07,041 -- 02:05:08,458
Up there.
1043
02:

Who is it?
1044
02:
05:13,130 -- 02:05:14,547
Su!
1045
02:
05:22,890 -- 02:05:24,891
Sister, that voice...
1046
02:
05:26,227 -- 02:05:28,728
This ruin was once a castle.
1047
02:
05:29,897 -- 02:05:32,482
lt belonged to Su's father.
1048
02:
05:33,067 -- 02:05:34,901
I destroyed it.
1049
02:
05:37,821 -- 02:05:39,739
Why am I here?
1050
02:
05:42,409 -- 02:05:44,619
Why is Su here?
1051
02:
05:46,413 -- 02:05:48,081
And Tsurumaru too!
1052
02:
05:53,420 -- 02:05:55,421
Is this a dream?
1053
02:
05:55,589 -- 02:05:57,924
No, this is HelI.
1054
02:
05:58,592 -- 02:06:01,636
The lowest level of HeIl.
1055
02:
08:03,550 -- 02:08:04,550
Mount!

Message from Lord Jiro!
1057
02:

Very good.
1058
02:
10:36,328 -- 02:10:37,995
He says he won't attack.
1059
02:
10:38,163 -- 02:10:41,916
We're to leave once we have Father.
1060
02:
10:42,709 -- 02:10:45,378
Let's go at once.
1061
02:
10:46,463 -- 02:10:49,841
We'd give away his whereabouts.
1062
02:
10:50,050 -- 02:10:51,300
Wait tilI dark.
1063
02:
10:52,678 -- 02:10:55,012
Ayabe is on the move.
1064
02:
11:24,501 -- 02:11:27,712
Vulture! He smelIs blood!
1065
02:
11:41,226 -- 02:11:43,227
Stay caIm, my Lord.
1066
02:
11:44,313 -- 02:11:45,897
Ayabe is watching.
1067
02:
11:47,399 -- 02:11:48,774
So is Fujimaki.
1068
02:
11:55,282 -- 02:11:57,617
They're waiting.
1069
02:
11:57,784 -- 02:12:01,120
Don't give them an excuse to attack.
1070
02:
12:02,414 -- 02:12:06,459
He wants Father,
but makes no move.
1071
02:
12:06,668 -- 02:12:09,211
What's his game?
1072
02:
12:28,398 -- 02:12:30,775
She's taking so long.

Sister!
1084
02:
13:35,465 -- 02:13:39,885
I found Kyoami
crying on Azusa PIain.
1085
02:
13:40,053 -- 02:13:42,388
Where's our master?
1086
02:
13:44,016 -- 02:13:45,391
Forgive me!
1087
02:
13:48,770 -- 02:13:50,521
He's disappeared.
1088
02:
13:51,857 -- 02:13:54,108
You lost him
1089
02:
13:54,234 -- 02:13:55,568
on the plain?
1090
02:
13:57,487 -- 02:14:00,072
Now we can't wait for dark.
1091
02:
14:06,955 -- 02:14:08,706
I'm going to Azusa PIain.
1092
02:
14:08,874 -- 02:14:11,584
Keep the enemy busy here.
1093
02:
14:12,753 -- 02:14:15,546
Ten men folIow Lord Saburo!
1094
02:
14:32,898 -- 02:14:33,981
He's moving...
1095
02:
14:34,274 -- 02:14:37,443
He's heading for Azusa Plain.
1096
02:
14:39,654 -- 02:14:41,405
Gunnery captain!
1097
02:
14:47,788 -- 02:14:50,122
Take your men to Azusa Plain
1098
02:
14:50,290 -- 02:14:52,291
and lay an ambush.
1099
02:
14:53,335 -- 02:14:56,670
A reward for whoever kiIls Saburo.
1100
02:
14:57,214 -- 02:14:58,589
Are you mad?
1101
02:
14:58,799 -- 02:15:01,634
Break your word and it's war!
1102
02:
15:02,302 -- 02:15:05,846
So be it. lt was inevitabIe.
1103
02:
15:05,972 -- 02:15:08,974
Saburo is not our only enemy.
1104
02:
15:09,101 -- 02:15:09,975
So what?
1105
02:
15:10,602 -- 02:15:13,813
lf they attack, we retaIiate.
1106
02:
15:14,606 -- 02:15:17,358
We grab their Iand,
1107
02:
15:17,567 -- 02:15:18,943
and enIarge our own.
1108
02:
15:19,277 -- 02:15:22,696
Fine words,
but words don't win wars.
1109
02:
15:22,948 -- 02:15:25,741
Where's the dog eager for prey?
1110
02:
15:26,284 -- 02:15:27,618
Kaede's right.
1111
02:
15:27,744 -- 02:15:30,496
You're a mouse posing for a mastiff.
1112
02:
15:32,290 -- 02:15:34,416
Kaede barks and you grovel.
1113
02:
15:35,001 -- 02:15:36,669
SiIence!
1114
02:
15:37,003 -- 02:15:38,170
Stay behind!
1115
02:
15:38,755 -- 02:15:41,674
If you fear to fight, desert!
1116
02:
15:45,887 -- 02:15:47,304
lf I desert,
1117
02:
15:47,430 -- 02:15:49,098
where could l go?
1118
02:
15:51,017 -- 02:15:53,352
Captain!
You have your orders...
1119
02:
15:53,478 -- 02:15:54,562
Go!
1120
02:
16:09,452 -- 02:16:11,370
Message for Lord Saburo.

"Enemy gunners coming: take care."
1122
02:

Get ready, men!
1126
02:

Akira Kurosawa

After training as a painter (he storyboards his films as full-scale paintings), Kurosawa entered the film industry in 1936 as an assistant director, eventually making his directorial debut with Sanshiro Sugata (1943). Within a few years, Kurosawa had achieved sufficient stature to allow him greater creative freedom. Drunken Angel (1948)--"Drunken Angel"--was the first film he made without extensive studio interference, and marked his first collaboration with Toshirô Mifune. In the coming decades, the two would make 16 movies together, and Mifune became as closely associated with Kurosawa's films as was John Wayne with the films of Kurosawa's idol, John Ford. After working in a wide range of genres, Kurosawa made his international breakthrough film Rashomon (1950) in 1950. It won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival, and first revealed the richness of Japanese cinema to the West. The next few years saw the low-key, touching Ikiru (1952) (Living), the epic Seven Samurai (1954), the barbaric, riveting Shakespeare adaptation Throne of Blood (1957), and a fun pair of samurai comedies Yojimbo (1961) and Sanjuro (1962). After a lean period in the late 1960s and early 1970s, though, Kurosawa attempted suicide. He survived, and made a small, personal, low-budget picture with Dodes'ka-den (1970), a larger-scale Russian co-production Dersu Uzala (1975) and, with the help of admirers Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas, the samurai tale Kagemusha (1980), which Kurosawa described as a dry run for Ran (1985), an epic adaptation of Shakespeare's "King Lear." He continued to work into his eighties with the more personal Dreams (1990), Rhapsody in August (1991) and Maadadayo (1993). Kurosawa's films have always been more popular in the West than in his native Japan, where critics have viewed his adaptations of Western genres and authors (William Shakespeare, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Maxim Gorky and Evan Hunter) with suspicion - but he's revered by American and European film-makers, who remade Rashomon (1950) as The Outrage (1964), Seven Samurai (1954), as The Magnificent Seven (1960), Yojimbo (1961), as A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and The Hidden Fortress (1958), as Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977). more…
