00:
43:12,089 -- 00:43:13,381

Father-in-law!

455

00:
43:15,676 -- 00:43:17,635

Never mind the ceremony.

456

00:
43:18,679 -- 00:43:20,680

lt's been a long time.

457

00:
43:22,266 -- 00:43:23,766

Let me Iook at you.

458

00:
43:27,563 -- 00:43:30,023

StilI the same sad face.

459

00:
43:31,025 -- 00:43:34,193

When l see you,

it breaks my heart.

460

00:
43:45,789 -- 00:43:48,041

lt's worse when you smiIe.

461

00:
43:51,295 -- 00:43:53,713

l burned down your castle,

462

00:
43:53,839 -- 00:43:56,424

you father and mother perished.

463

00:
43:58,719 -- 00:44:01,262

And you look at me Iike that!

464

00:
44:03,182 -- 00:44:05,350

Look upon me with hatred.

465

00:
44:05,517 -- 00:44:08,603

lt wouId be easier to bear.

466

00:
44:10,689 -- 00:44:13,566

Go on, hate me!

467

00:
44:21,659 -- 00:44:23,576

l don't hate you.

468

00:
44:26,372 -- 00:44:29,582

AlI is decided

in our previous Iives.

469

00:
44:30,668 -- 00:44:33,211

The Buddha embraces alI things.

470

00:
44:33,629 -- 00:44:35,296

Buddha again!

471

00:
44:36,048 -- 00:44:37,757

He is gone from the evil world.

472

00:
44:37,966 -- 00:44:40,093

His guardians are in exiIe,

473

00:
44:40,260 -- 00:44:42,762

routed by the fury of Ashur.

474

00:
44:43,389 -- 00:44:46,057

We can't rely on Buddha's mercy.

475

00:
44:47,309 -- 00:44:49,352

There you are, Jiro.

476

00:
44:49,978 -- 00:44:52,772

I've come to be your guest.

477

00:
44:57,444 -- 00:44:59,696

l'm disappointed in Taro.

478

00:
44:59,863 -- 00:45:00,905

l already know.

479

00:
45:01,073 -- 00:45:04,617

It's aIl in my brother's letter.

480

00:
45:05,953 -- 00:45:08,121

Taro wrote to you?

481

00:
45:09,665 -- 00:45:11,958

He says your guards

482

00:
45:12,084 -- 00:45:14,794

were unruly and vuIgar.

483

00:
45:15,003 -- 00:45:18,214

l am to receive you with courtesy.

484

00:
45:18,382 -- 00:45:23,720

But I cannot let your warriors

inside the castle waIls.

485

00:
45:23,846 -- 00:45:25,263

What's this?

486

00:
45:26,807 -- 00:45:28,933

I'm to come alone,

487

00:
45:29,101 -- 00:45:31,811

Ieaving my men to rot outside?

488

00:
45:32,604 -- 00:45:35,148

My brother is the head of the cIan.

489

00:
45:35,315 -- 00:45:39,152

I have no choice but to obey him.

490

00:
45:40,487 -- 00:45:43,030

If you disIike his conditions,

491

00:
45:43,157 -- 00:45:46,075

then it might be best

492

00:
45:46,243 -- 00:45:49,912

to go back and apologize.

493

00:
45:52,291 -- 00:45:54,250

Apologize to Taro?

494

00:
45:54,918 -- 00:45:57,003

Go back?

495

00:
46:29,870 -- 00:46:31,287

Stop!

496

00:
46:37,711 -- 00:46:39,170

Lord Kurogane!

497

00:
46:39,338 -- 00:46:40,379

Lord Shirane!

498

00:
46:41,215 -- 00:46:43,174

What does this mean?

499

00:
46:46,011 -- 00:46:48,638

Lord lkoma!

500

00:
46:50,015 -- 00:46:52,141

An order from Hidetora.

501

00:
46:52,476 -- 00:46:53,893

"We arrived suddenIy,

502

00:
46:54,895 -- 00:46:56,896

"the castle is unprepared.

503

00:
46:57,105 -- 00:47:01,234

"Withdraw and wait outside."

504

00:
47:17,000 -- 00:47:20,878

Enough is enough, I understand.

505

00:
47:26,051 -- 00:47:27,552

You too,

506

00:
47:29,429 -- 00:47:31,430

you're just Iike Taro.

507

00:
47:34,434 -- 00:47:36,435

You want to be rid of me.

508

00:
47:36,603 -- 00:47:38,938

I'm too much trouble.

509

00:
47:39,189 -- 00:47:40,898

That's not true.

510

00:
47:41,191 -- 00:47:44,610

lf you were aIone,

l'd weIcome you gladIy.

511

00:
47:44,778 -- 00:47:48,281

The Great Lord goes nowhere aIone.

512

00:
47:52,119 -- 00:47:54,495

You renounced your power.

513

00:
47:54,788 -- 00:47:58,165

You have no need of an escort.

514

00:
47:59,751 -- 00:48:02,628

OnIy the birds and the beasts

515

00:
48:03,714 -- 00:48:06,048

Iive in solitude.

516

00:
48:09,469 -- 00:48:11,804

l've heard enough excuses.

517

00:
48:14,641 -- 00:48:16,392

Open the gates!

518

00:
48:22,107 -- 00:48:23,566

You needn't worry.

519

00:
48:24,484 -- 00:48:28,738

lt's not for my men to enter,

520

00:
48:28,906 -- 00:48:31,115

but for me to Ieave!

521

00:
48:32,993 -- 00:48:34,785

Open the gates!

522

00:
48:56,433 -- 00:48:58,184

Now cIose them!

523

00:
49:02,356 -- 00:49:04,690

l wiIl not see you again.

524

00:
49:04,900 -- 00:49:06,525

Ever!

525

00:
49:44,272 -- 00:49:46,649

The vilIages are deserted.

526

00:
49:46,817 -- 00:49:50,486

Not a grain of rice anywhere.

527

00:
49:50,654 -- 00:49:54,824

The peasants took everything

and fled to the mountains.

528

00:
50:35,240 -- 00:50:36,657

My Lord!

529

00:
50:38,535 -- 00:50:41,370

We must go to the Third CastIe.

530

00:
50:41,913 -- 00:50:43,456

It was your first victory.

531

00:
50:43,623 -- 00:50:46,917

Go back where you started...

532

00:
50:47,085 -- 00:50:48,627

No, Ikoma!

533

00:
50:48,920 -- 00:50:50,546

If l couId do that,

534

00:
50:51,882 -- 00:50:54,800

would l roam the pIain hungry?

535

00:
50:56,470 -- 00:50:58,262

Use your head!

536

00:
50:59,347 -- 00:51:03,017

What kind of weIcome would l get,

537

00:
51:03,894 -- 00:51:07,104

l, who banished

the Iord of the castle?

538

00:
51:49,523 -- 00:51:51,857

By order of Lord Taro Takatora,

539

00:
51:52,025 -- 00:51:54,944

head of the lchimonji cIan,

540

00:
51:55,153 -- 00:51:59,031

I take possession of this castle.

541

00:
52:00,826 -- 00:52:02,493

Open the gates!

542

00:
52:19,886 -- 00:52:21,971

Without our master, Saburo,

543

00:
52:22,180 -- 00:52:24,390

the castIe is nothing to us.

544

00:
52:24,558 -- 00:52:26,642

We leave it to you.

545

00:
52:26,852 -- 00:52:30,604

We wilI foIlow him and die for him.

546

00:
52:31,273 -- 00:52:34,984

We hear he is with us,

Lord Fujimaki.

547

00:
52:36,403 -- 00:52:38,571

We go to join him.

548

00:
53:33,793 -- 00:53:35,294

It's Tango!

549

00:
53:38,632 -- 00:53:41,300

l have rice, bean curd, plums...

550

00:
53:49,017 -- 00:53:50,434

I folIowed you

551

00:
53:51,144 -- 00:53:53,312

and saw how you suffered.

552

00:
53:53,480 -- 00:53:58,651

Though banished,

l am stiIl your loyal vassaI.

553

00:
54:14,000 -- 00:54:15,542

Is it reaIly Tango?

554

00:
54:18,505 -- 00:54:19,922

Hold on!

555

00:
54:20,257 -- 00:54:22,758

Don't take charity from peasants.

556

00:
54:23,677 -- 00:54:26,637

A samurai wiIl starve

rather than beg.

557

00:
54:33,895 -- 00:54:36,146

The peasants are presumptuous.

558

00:
54:36,356 -- 00:54:39,358

Burn their vilIages!

559

00:
54:42,153 -- 00:54:43,654

Wait, my Lord!

560

00:
54:43,780 -- 00:54:46,198

Don't blame the peasants.

561

00:
54:46,741 -- 00:54:50,160

Rather than disobey Taro's decree,

they fled.

562

00:
54:54,958 -- 00:54:56,667

What decree?

563

00:
54:57,294 -- 00:54:59,503

That you are banished.

564

00:
54:59,629 -- 00:55:02,131

Anyone who helps you...

565

00:
55:03,800 -- 00:55:05,175

wilI die.

566

00:
55:46,259 -- 00:55:48,302

Now I understand.

567

00:
55:49,554 -- 00:55:51,930

You tried to warn me of this.

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…
