that movie was fucking terrific. rarely is anything so ambiguous (at least for a while). it is actually unclear whether this guy is flat out evil or actually good. he's sneaky about getting things done. he straddles an evil world and lashes out in every direction. no good deed goes unpunished, hilariously. but since everything redounds on evil it's all good. BAD ASS MOVIE!
and the soundtrack is fucking fantastic, it's like some james bond shit, thumping and brass. kurosawa's got this really funny way of deploying sound, it might as well be slapstick fart noises tacked on. he'll just drop some music on for a few seconds, just for a single gesture. it's quite tacky, really, but since it's happening in a movie like this it's just adds to the unique glory. honestly what a fucking great thing. i loved this. i watched it with matt on the couch here eating popcorn. there's a lot of salt on the middle cushion and i've been trying to wipe it off but the couch is kind of salty now. i have to get to bed so that tomorrow isn't terrible
