My lord, Kurosawa loves making long movies. The problem is, they are really good. I guess Kurosawa wasn’t making movies for a while, but all the time he was painting, and after that he started work on this movie with the helping hands of george lucas and oliver stone. You can almost see the influence from the painting, because there are many shots that are just one camera no switch scenes. There are some beautiful images. Worth the look if you have three hours to kill. But the ending took too long. Reminded me of the Lord of the Rings "Let’s take all seven endings and use them" idea. 8/10.
