Finally watched the TRUE first Star Wars film: The Hidden Fortress by Akira Kurosawa.

Oh yes yes, and it has been an incredible journey. Throughout last week I also watched Seven Samurai, Rashomon, Ikiru, Throne of Blood, Yojimbo, and Sanjuro. Still on my list to watch are High and Low, Kagemusha, and Ran.
He very quickly became one of my favorite directors, right up there with Martin Scorsese, Andrei Tarkovsky, Paul Thomas Anderson and Ridley Scott (hell, I'll put Tarantino in there too). I'm blown away with just how consistent his material is and good his films looked, especially for the era. The cinematography is off the charts.
I'm really grateful I finally started watching his stuff.
