YOJIMBO is TOSHIRO MIFUNE by KUROSAWA
There is only one fault to this movie. IT MUST BE SEEN. I plan to remedy that for you, if you haven't seen it already. Watch the film here in this blog and now. If you have seen it, watch again. The faultlessness of the setting (town) were the action takes place (on one street) is as close to perfection one can get without being god. When you mix Kurosawa with the direction and script and the interpretation of Toshiro Mifune, you can expect nothing less than near perfection. (Perfection will leave to god). Needless to say, I have seen more than several times this movie. Toshiro Mifune to me, is (he still lives in his films that he has given so much life too), the greatest actor that has ever lived.
Yojimbo (means in Japanese "Bodyguard") is a 1961 Japanese samurai film co-written, produced, edited, and directed by Akira Kurosawa and stars Toshiro Mifune.
In the film, a rōnin arrives in a small town where competing crime lords vie for supremacy. The two bosses each try to hire the newcomer as a bodyguard.

NOTES:
Yojimbo over the years, became widely regarded as one of the best films by Kurosawa and one of the greatest films ever made. It was unofficially remade by Sergio Leone as the Spaghetti Western film A Fistful of Dollars (1964), leading to a lawsuit by Toho.
