YOJIMBO now streaming on FilmStruck – www.filmstruck.com
The incomparable Toshiro Mifune stars in Akira Kurosawa’s visually stunning and darkly comic Yojimbo. To rid a terror-stricken village of corruption, wily masterless samurai Sanjuro turns a range war between two evil clans to his own advantage.

I also do that shoulder twitch right before I bite into a hamburger.
I want to like these films. The stories aren't bad and cinematography is excellent but the acting is so corny and terrible it's laughable.
Love this sushi western
Like Kurosawa, I make mad films. Ok, I don’t make films, but if I did, they’d have a samurai.
I have to admit, Kurosawa movies are much better if I don't listen to the dialogues. Visually, they are mesmerising, but his dialogues leave much to be desired. I had to tune the sound down to not distract myself from the visual.
Dear Diary August 23rd 2022 after watching color movies for a while now and only seeing one B&W movie Scarface 1932 I decided to see Akira Kurosawa’s yojimbo because last month or so I saw his other film seven samurai and also because I saw the dollars trilogy and I liked it and because this movie was inspired cough cough ripped off by Sergio Leone’s and he made for a few dollars more a great western adaptation of this film and anyway everything in this movie is PERFECT EVERYTHING THANK YOU AKIRA KUROSAWA!!!! For making my NEW second favorite film in 1961.
The lady was right,,, the best sword is kept in it's sheath,,,,,,,,,,,, but not today.
2:45 amazing acting
Kurosawa's Samurai movies resembled the American Western movies superficially.
Это писец – просто писец , настолько тупой фильм что я прям перестаю уважать обезьян …
An amazing movie! I never tire of seeing it over and over. Mifune was such a great actor, and Kurosawa was a great director.
If you like this genre, check out Lone Wolf and Cub, which is both a manga series from the early 60s, and six films, four plays, and a tv series.
Kirasawa was a film genius. The Spaghetti Western would have never existed without him.
Haha.. “Mommy!”
I don't know the movie, so maybe it makes some sense that I don't understand, but:
HOLY shite, that dude with the drums looks like a escaped lunatic from some assyilum. His face, his facial expression, his random drumming and walking/hopping… it all seems so random and unpredictable… batsit crazy…
And then when I thought "wow, what is wrong with this guy?" he suddenly draws a sword and kills some random guy in a hut… why?
This guy seemed seriously messed up…
5:39 HECTOR?? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE??!
То говно је од матрице создања нове игре с 1960-67 .
Why did drum guy go for the guy in the house again?
This is older than most "creatives" in PedoWood today, but Kurosawa shows that a classic can match whatever garbage they can produce in ten lifetimes.
The guiding wind is his father and the birds in the sky are his mother.
The guy lost because he brought a gun to a kife fight.
5:35 🎶" Yo Skril! Drop it hard!"
どのシーンでも必ず１つの構図に２つ以上の情報が入っているから、観客が飽きないし、画が立体的になる効果もある。
逆に重要なシーンでは１つだけになるから、他のシーンとの対比で余計に満足感が増す。
そして対決のシーンでは最初は音楽と共に両者が近づいていって、仲代達也のセリフ。そこまでは観客も付いて行っているが、三船敏郎は歩みを止めない。
ここで一気に観客も置いていかれることでスピード感を感じる。
そして三船敏郎の圧倒的な殺陣で一気に勝負を決めて終わりと思いきや、家出した農家の息子を諭して伏線回収…。
ホントに凄い。ただただ感動するばかり。
三十郎が座頭市と互角とは納得出来ない❗言いたくないが目の見える三十郎が目の見えない座頭市に実力が互角でも見えるだけ上の筈，互角の筈がない❗。
これは座頭市シリーズで出た三船敏郎の素浪人が座頭市と戦った話の映画の疑問点。
GREAT MOVIE!
3:50 while moving for the gun, hides the fact he's putting more pressure on the ground, hes on top of a blood bag thing and so it starts flowing
