00:
21:04,805 -- 00:21:05,846
l banish you both!
228
00:
21:06,014 -- 00:21:07,223
Father!
229
00:
21:31,373 -- 00:21:32,915
What misery!
230
00:
21:34,751 -- 00:21:37,336
What wilI you do, now?
231
00:
21:37,504 -- 00:21:40,715
I grieve for Father, not myself.
232
00:
21:41,383 -- 00:21:44,385
The horror ahead of him...
233
00:
21:45,304 -- 00:21:47,805
Tango, you're an idiot.
234
00:
21:48,890 -- 00:21:49,932
Why?
235
00:
21:50,100 -- 00:21:52,893
For defending me and being banished.
236
00:
21:53,395 -- 00:21:55,938
Your pIace is with Father.
237
00:
21:57,649 -- 00:21:59,608
He needs you.
238
00:
22:13,915 -- 00:22:16,959
They're foIlowing us!
239
00:
23:04,174 -- 00:23:05,633
Wait, son-in-law!
240
00:
23:06,635 -- 00:23:08,844
Why do you run away?
241
00:
23:09,012 -- 00:23:10,179
Son-in-law?
242
00:
23:10,347 -- 00:23:11,889
Hear me out!
243
00:
23:12,516 -- 00:23:16,060
You're in disgrace,
exiIed from your lands.
244
00:
23:16,353 -- 00:23:18,979
Lord Ayabe and I
245
00:
23:19,106 -- 00:23:22,024
witnessed the whole incident.
246
00:
23:23,777 -- 00:23:25,319
You are an outcast,
247
00:
23:25,487 -- 00:23:27,863
little more than a beggar.
248
00:
23:29,157 -- 00:23:30,574
Forgive my rudeness.
249
00:
23:30,700 -- 00:23:32,910
What I am trying to say...
250
00:
23:33,078 -- 00:23:34,870
l can't find the words.
251
00:
23:35,038 -- 00:23:36,288
The meaning is cIear.
252
00:
23:36,415 -- 00:23:38,332
No Iord chooses a beggar
for his daughter.
253
00:
23:38,458 -- 00:23:39,875
Of course not.
254
00:
23:41,211 -- 00:23:43,546
No... Now hoId on!
255
00:
23:43,713 -- 00:23:48,092
Lord Ayabe rejected the marriage.
256
00:
23:49,010 -- 00:23:52,847
But on my way home,
257
00:
23:53,014 -- 00:23:55,141
I got a thinking
258
00:
23:55,350 -- 00:23:59,228
of your extraordinary conduct.
259
00:
24:00,021 -- 00:24:02,022
l Iike the way you spoke up.
260
00:
24:02,190 -- 00:24:04,525
You have character and courage.
261
00:
24:04,693 -- 00:24:06,026
You'd make a fine son-in-Iaw.
262
00:
24:06,194 -- 00:24:08,195
I retraced my steps,
263
00:
24:08,947 -- 00:24:10,865
but you had gone.
264
00:
24:11,616 -- 00:24:14,368
Does my offer interest you?
265
00:
24:15,495 -- 00:24:16,704
How can I know?
266
00:
24:16,872 -- 00:24:19,206
Then come stay with me
267
00:
24:19,374 -- 00:24:21,500
while you think it's over.
268
00:
24:22,878 -- 00:24:24,462
You too, Tango.
269
00:
24:25,380 -- 00:24:27,923
You are honest and IoyaI.
270
00:
24:28,383 -- 00:24:31,427
I can use you, wiIl you come?
271
00:
24:32,721 -- 00:24:35,806
Thank you for your generosity
272
00:
24:36,933 -- 00:24:38,809
but l cannot accept.
273
00:
24:41,605 -- 00:24:43,981
Whatever disguise I must adopt,
274
00:
24:44,149 -- 00:24:46,775
I shan't abandon the Great Lord.
275
00:
25:20,477 -- 00:25:21,519
What's going on?
276
00:
25:21,770 -- 00:25:24,813
Hidetora's concubines
are moving from the castIe.
277
00:
25:24,981 -- 00:25:27,316
They bIock my lady's retinue.
278
00:
25:27,901 -- 00:25:29,109
ScandaIous!
279
00:
25:30,237 -- 00:25:32,863
I am now the mistress here!
280
00:
25:33,031 -- 00:25:35,282
They must make way!
281
00:
26:09,234 -- 00:26:13,153
My women kneeling to Taro's wife?
282
00:
26:19,494 -- 00:26:20,661
Intolerable!
283
00:
26:21,871 -- 00:26:23,330
Why do you say that?
284
00:
26:24,082 -- 00:26:26,917
You gave him the castle keep.
285
00:
26:27,961 -- 00:26:29,753
It's only natural.
286
00:
26:34,968 -- 00:26:38,679
Gives away his house
Gives away his land
287
00:
26:38,847 -- 00:26:41,432
His bounty earns him a new title
288
00:
26:42,684 -- 00:26:44,310
Lord of the rice fields
289
00:
26:44,519 -- 00:26:46,520
A scarecrow!
290
00:
26:49,733 -- 00:26:51,942
CalI me a fool?
291
00:
26:52,110 -- 00:26:54,945
No, the fooI is me
292
00:
26:55,322 -- 00:26:59,116
for serving as butt
to your Iaughing-stock.
293
00:
26:59,284 -- 00:27:02,953
But you're another
for losing your keep.
294
00:
27:21,306 -- 00:27:23,098
You know, Kaede,
295
00:
27:25,685 -- 00:27:28,270
the view is more pIeasant
296
00:
27:28,813 -- 00:27:31,482
now that it is mine.
297
00:
27:33,652 -- 00:27:35,319
As I recalI,
298
00:
27:36,029 -- 00:27:39,448
a banner used to hang there.
299
00:
27:39,949 -- 00:27:43,077
Yes. Father's banner.
300
00:
27:43,244 -- 00:27:45,746
AIso his heImet and armour.
301
00:
27:45,914 -- 00:27:47,039
Where are they?
302
00:
27:47,248 -- 00:27:49,667
I gave them to Father's men.
303
00:
27:51,378 -- 00:27:53,253
The armour doesn't matter.
304
00:
27:54,130 -- 00:27:55,589
But the banner...
305
00:
27:57,676 -- 00:27:59,051
My Lord,
306
00:
27:59,386 -- 00:28:03,597
it beIongs with the head
of the house of Ichimonji.
307
00:
28:04,808 -- 00:28:09,019
But Father is keeping
his titIe and insignia.
308
00:
28:09,187 -- 00:28:12,106
Without them, you are a shadow.
309
00:
28:15,110 -- 00:28:16,443
What do you mean?
310
00:
28:16,611 -- 00:28:19,113
He made it cIear
311
00:
28:19,280 -- 00:28:21,865
that I am now in command.
312
00:
28:23,451 -- 00:28:25,160
In that case,
313
00:
28:25,328 -- 00:28:28,288
behave as if you are.
314
00:
28:51,062 -- 00:28:53,480
You want the banner?
315
00:
28:54,315 -- 00:28:57,317
Ridiculous!
You take back what you give.
316
00:
28:58,319 -- 00:28:59,987
lt is Lord Taro's order!
317
00:
29:05,994 -- 00:29:09,413
See the Iord,
a gourd in the wind
318
00:
29:10,874 -- 00:29:13,041
Swinging this way...

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…
