Mad respect for this man! A GREAT actor! I'd pay top dollar to see him in anything. Every performance of his I've seen has been pure gold. Just Seven Samurai alone should be enough to make him a cinema immortal. Don't miss it! 🌟 👏🏻 🌟 🏆 🌟 🏅 🌟 🏆 🌟 👏🏻 🌟

Shimura wasn't just a great Japanese actor but was one of the great actors of all times. His incredible performance as the leader of the Seven Samurai is legendary. He could play meek & he could play fierce but, above all, he always demonstrated his wonderful humanity.

Great little retrospective of Shimura-san’s life & career. A truly outstanding talent. Ikuru is a particular favorite of mine 😌 One slight correction, Godzilla debuted in 1954 😉

Love him, loved him best in Ikuru

He was a mixture of Morgan Freeman and Lee Van Cliff.....no wonder that Kurosawa saw a hero in his character
