There were a few dull moments, but they were very few and far between. I really don&#8217;t have anything especially insightful to say, unfortunately. I&#8217;m not familiar with Kurosawa&#8217;s work, although I&#8217;ve heard him mentioned frequently and I&#8217;ve been meaning to explore a little more. I have seen The Seven Samurai, which I count amongst my favorite movies. As far as Westerns go, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is still my favorite and even if it isn&#8217;t 100% unique, it&#8217;s in my\u00c2\u00a0(uneducated) opinion, head and shoulders above Yojimbo.\u00c2\u00a0 I just didn&#8217;t feel the connection with the Samurai that I felt with Clint Eastwood&#8217;s Man With No Name. Maybe a cultural gulf or something? Either way, I loved Yojimbo, especially the final scene and line. Truly badass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am ashmaed to say that last night was the first time I&#8217;ve seen Yojimbo.
