Not one of kurosawa's best but he's still able to display his craft.
He uses sidecharacters to move his story which would later inspire george lucas on star wars. You can see allot of DNA of star wars in this but they feel different in so many ways and the genres are so different that they are both great in their own ways.
Kurosawa gives these two characters flawed but realistic personalities to ground the big story epic that plays in the midst of them.
And the other characters feel like actual people as well and its kinda refreshing to see such a dominant screen presence be a woman, probably one of my favorite performances in a kurosawa film.
