Weird way to end the movie.
Idk i thought it was cool,seeing the in's and out's of the crime.
This and furiosa are both peak revenge stories.
The acting was probably stronger then in seven samurai i think and the only thing that bothered me is that it sometimes could get pretty slow aaaand the ending but thats about it.
Also it has a better story then throne of blood but thats just me.

In this loose adaptation of "Hamlet," illegitimate son Kôichi Nishi climbs to a high position within a Japanese corporation and marries the crippled daughter of company vice president Iwabuchi. At the reception, the wedding cake is a replica of their corporate headquarters, but an aspect of the design reminds the party of the hushed-up death of Nishi's father. It is then that Nishi unleashes his plan to avenge his father's death.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meticulously plotted revenge thriller that unfolds with the cold precision of a machine slowly winding toward its own destruction. Kurosawa transforms corporate greed and moral corruption into intimate tragedy, where every calculated move draws deeper into darkness.
