honestly allot of fun.
its not as complex like other kurosawa films but it doesn't need to be.
i mean yeah there is probably some hidden meaning behind something but i think this kurosawa films just needed to rely on the dialogue and story then telling us something about humans morally or being a 3 hour long epic.
its a fun film with a very clever main character.

Toshiro Mifune swaggers and snarls to brilliant comic effect in Kurosawa's tightly paced, beautifully composed "Sanjuro." In this companion piece and sequel to "Yojimbo," jaded samurai Sanjuro helps an idealistic group of young warriors weed out their clan's evil influences, and in the process turns their image of a proper samurai on its ear.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A swift, witty samurai romp where Mifune's weary cynicism clashes delightfully with idealistic youth as they navigate feudal court corruption. The film moves with sharp comedic precision while subverting the very notion of what honor means.
