Yojimbo by Akira Kurosawa

     This was an entertaining movie to watch. The director really showed what it means to have honor - to be a Samurai. Although Sanjuro(the Samurai) seemed to be a greedy mercenary at first, it was revealed that he actually has a good heart and cares for other people. All he wanted was to bring about peace in the town. Each scene in the movie was visually endearing albeit being in black and white. The music was also used effectively and it shows the traditional Japanese culture. The movie also brings in a lot of humor through the dialogue and characters. My only issue was that almost everyone looked alike, so it was hard to distinguish one from the other. The ending was good since peace was finally restored in the town.
