We talk about the influence the western genre and specifically, John Ford had on Kurosawa, the influence Kurosawa had on cinema as a whole from George Lucas and Star Wars to Steven Spielberg and Sergio Leone, what makes this movie so special, and lots of tangents along the way.

This movie was directed by Akira Kurosawa.
