This is amazing, movie goers. I did not know any of this. As you know my daughter has given me a year of net flix for Christmas. But she picks all the movies. So the movie I get this week (very weird daughter like her dad) is "Yojimbo" by the legendary director Akira Kurasawa. Now here is the trip: Clint Eastwood copied this movie almost verbatim for his movie "Fist Full of Dollars" The scene is set in a simpliar type of rural desolate town run by bully's. Eastwood not only copies the story, and settings, he copies the music, and even the cigar. Toshiro Mifune is Clint Eastwood's character. Clint Eastwood behaves and even walk and talks like Mifune, AND, as mentioned, even to the fine point of Mifune having a stick in his mouth (before he does battle)like Eastwoods short cigar. So all these years I have been giving credit to Eastwood and he just copied a geniuses work. I would give Eastwood credit for learning from the masters, but he should have given Kurosawa and Mifune credit. So was Eastwood learning from Kurasawa and Mifune, or stealing from them and passing the work on as his own genius??
