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…
