Dear Cinema Diary - Vol 3 E6 - June 2012 (39 movies items)" So, the second Akira Kurosawa for the month. A great film involving multiple accounts of the murder of one man. It was nice that this was quite as nihilistic as "Runaway Train" (which was based on a screenplay by Kurosawa) but still manages to have a harsh edge to the story."
A Little help please... (10 movies items)"this Akira Kurosawa's film was entertaining... and confusing! Also, it didn't strike the match with me as it did to thousands of people world-wide.

“Second film I saw on YouTube and the first by Akira Kurosawa, Rashomon is a fine example of mixed feelings. I mean, I liked it but, after hearing all the hype, it could've done way better. I also liked the originality but too bad I'd already seen it before in Reservoir Dogs, The Usual Suspects and Hero, so the effect wasn't as effective as it should've been.
Anyway, Toshiro Mifune was arguably one of the best Japanese actor of his time and his performance in this film as the Bandit was the best. In fact, it was the only best performance. All the others, in their respective characters, were quite good. Not too dull, not too great, just OK. Although the film wasn't too tedious, it still was too much for a 88 minute feature and that is rather surprising because I consider 88-100 mi” read more
