google you need to sort out your video playback! the constant stuttering in this rendered it practically unwatchable and don't think this is a problem with my computer i can watch videos on youtube at 720p.

An amazing movie. Some people think Kurosawa stole the ideas for some of his movies (for example, Throne of Blood - MacBeth by William Shakespeare), he didn't. Since Shakespeare is long dead, Kurosawa can use it without calling it stealing. Hollywood on the other hand did steal Kurosawa's work (for example, Star Wars took the story from Hidden Fortress and Magnificent Seven was taken from Seven Samurai). Once again, an amazing movie and such a talented director, bless his soul.

The film that first alerted me to the genius of Akira Kurosawa. Brilliant and in every way.
