The Hidden Fortress
(1958)
This is Akira
Kurosawa's first film made in widescreen and once again he teams up
with actor Toshiro Mifune. Two peasants down on their luck get caught
up with gold, a fugitive general and the princess he is protecting.
Moving to widescreen
definitely helps this film look even better than the previous
Kurosawa pictures I have seen and in general this is a really good
looking film. The plot for the film provided some elements of
inspiration for the first Star Wars film but you should not expect
too many similarities. Over all this is a really well made film and
certainly worth a watch.
4/5
