A great movie

It is one of those movies I should definitely re-watch. Indeed, I saw it only once and it must have been something like 15 years ago. Still, I remember it as if it was yesterday. I was pretty young back in those days and after hearing so many good things about it, I thought I should give it a try. Of course, at first, I was a little bit worried, you know, a 60 years old movie, in black and white, in Japanese, I thought it might be boring. Oh boy, I was so wrong... I think after 10 minutes, I was completely sold. Indeed, it might be very old but at the same time I do believe it has actually a very modern structure (I mean, just check how many recent half-baked thrillers just copied the very same pattern). Personally, I'm not a huge fan of modern thrillers. I mean, some are really entertaining but I usually don't think that they are great because they always present a really preposterous plot and usually some ridiculous twist(s) at the end. This movie doesn't have this issue and basically gives a masterclass about how to properly create a thriller. This movie is so pure, interesting and devilishly entertaining. To conclude, this is my favorite Kurosawa movie, it is, in my opinion, a great achievement and a must see for any movie lover.
