One of the most human and affectionate movies I have seen.

This is one of those films that's ranked very high on flickchart but it seems to be one of those ones that is on a lot of people's list of shame I recently watched and it's one of those films that people need to check out it's such a great film but the one problem I had with it is that the third act was kind of boring but other than that it's great check it out

This is my favorite movie, and even I have no idea how it got so high in the global rankings.

A Great Kurosawa film but way overrated. Flickchart has it as Kurosawa's best, while I think it barely makes the top 5. The cheesy acting and dialog, especially by secondary characters drag it down for me.
