My favourite movie of all time, no other film comes close . *Every* moment of it was tailored to perfection. The fact that it’s been remade at least 3 times shows it’s a perfect movie.

[@300MediaProductions]

It's funny because this influence travels in both directions. It's likely that Kurosawa would have said that John Ford was his favorite director, and Ford was, of course, THE director of the American western film. Meanwhile, some of the greatest western films of all time are remakes of Kurosawa films: The Magnificent Seven (Seven Samurai), A Fistful of Dollars (Yojimbo), and The Outrage (Rashomon). Kurosawa learned much of his film grammar from American westerns and then many filmmakers of later generations learned their film grammar from Kurosawa. It's great. =)

[@johnnonamegibbon3580]

That's what I thought. Wasn't it contested who came up with that though. _The film was effectively an unofficial and unlicensed remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1961 film Yojimbo (written by Kurosawa and Ryuzo Kikushima), lifting traditional themes and character tropes usually typified within a Jidaigeki film. Kurosawa insisted that Leone had made "a fine movie, but it was MY movie."[43] Leone ignored the resulting lawsuit, but eventually settled out of court, reportedly for 15% of the worldwide receipts of A Fistful of Dollars and over $100,000._ _British critic Sir Christopher Frayling identifies three principal sources for A Fistful of Dollars: "Partly derived from Kurosawa's samurai film Yojimbo, partly from Dashiell Hammett's novel Red Harvest (1929), but most of all from Carlo Goldoni's eighteenth-century play Servant of Two Masters."[46] Leone has cited these alternate sources in his defense. He claims a thematic debt, for both Fistful and Yojimbo, to Carlo Goldoni's Servant of Two Masters-the basic premise of the protagonist playing two camps against each other. Leone asserted that this rooted the origination of Fistful/Yojimbo in European, and specifically Italian, culture. The Servant of Two Masters plot can also be seen in Hammett's detective novel Red Harvest. The Continental Op hero of the novel is, significantly, a man without a name. Leone himself believed that Red Harvest had influenced Yojimbo: "Kurosawa's Yojimbo was inspired by an American novel of the serie-noire so I was really taking the story back home again."_ _Leone also referenced numerous American Westerns in the film, most notably Shane[48] (1953) and My Darling Clementine (1946) which differs from Yojimbo._ I'm not sure if he's full of shit or not.

[@300MediaProductions]

I've read before than Leone had a 16mm print of Yojimbo that he would compare his rushes to at the end of each day's shoot. I don't know if that's true or not, however. But I do know that Kurosawa's film is basically an "Easternized" version of Red Harvest (he loved detective novels).

[@rogue-ish5713]

I think it is the image and language of trying to capture how fast death to come, Some a masterful stroke to a dead eye shot. The moment of death needs that tension beforehand to have impact.

Back in the day, I was such a huge Toshiro Mifune fan, I'm gonna have to subscribe.

[@fredferd965]

In 1961 it was only sixteen years since Japan had been defeated in the second world war. The Japanese were enduring defeat, rebuilding their land, their country, and trying to rebuild the Japanese national spirit. This movie was a reminder to a new generation of Japanese youth - This is what you are - this is your heritage - this is what your ancestors, who now watch over you, once were. Grow to be men and women. Be strong, be honorable, be Japanese. Stand tall. This is your birthright.

“A Fistful of Dollars” took the inspiration from “Yojimbo” and of course “Samurai Jack” took upon the reference too.

The only criticism I have about most Kurosawa films is not using traditional Japanese music during these BRILLIANT films. It takes some of the authenticity away.

[@richardanderson8696]

These films were themselves highly influenced by American Westerns, particularly John Ford films. The use of non-traditional Japanese music was a very deliberate artistic choice and is just one of the many examples of the interplay. American westerns inspired many Samurai films, and then they in turn inspired a new generation of westerns. So, I don't think the notion of 'authenticity' really comes into it.
