Yojimbo: A Journey Through Genre Film [Noir - Western - Samurai - Italo-Western - Ganster] ~America to Japan to Italy and back to America~ 🗝️🇺🇲🤠👘🇯🇵🍝🇮🇹🕴️🇻🇮 I decided to take a movie journey through genre, based around Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo. Starting with what he stated as inspirations- Dashiell Hammett's The Glass Key (Noir; 1942), John Ford's westerns, My Darling Clementine & The Searchers (Westerns; 1946 & 1956). Then onto Yojimbo itself (Samurai; 1961). Followed by movies it inspired and that they in turn inspired- A Fistful of Dollars, Django (Italo-Westerns; 1964 & 1966), and Last Man Standing (Gangster; 1996). 🎥 There are absolutely more that were clearly or less clearly inspired by Yojimbo, and likely more inspirations to it to be considered, but this was enough for my purposes. 🎞️ #Yojimbo #AkiraKurosawasYojimbo #Yojimbo1961 #1961 #AkiraKurosawa #Kurosawa #YojimboAJourneyThroughGenreFilm #GenreFilm #Noir #Western #Samurai #italoWestern #Gangster #TheGlassKey #1942 #MyDarlingClementine #1946 #TheSearchers #1956 #aFistfulOfDollars #1964 #Django #1966 #LastManStanding #1996 #JohnFord #ToshiroMifune #SergioLeone #SergioCorbucci #BruceWillis (at Jersey City, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHQYNMD7d1/?utm_medium=tumblr
