Enjoyment

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2007)

This a beautiful movie, because it's like a moving painting. The movie is like a painting, because the story is rich and every little detail means something. The story is a classic Shakespeare play with a few added combinations of Japanese culture and style.
The movie has some elements of Japanese theater. For example, it shows the old Japanese theater style where everything is formal called, Noh/Kabuki.
It's an appealing looking picture. The director, Akira Kurosawa, uses color and nature to express situation in this movie. For example, each one of the Lord's sons, are color coordinated. Akira Kurosawa, uses every elements to express the moment, he leaves nothing behind.
