Day 30: The Hidden Fortress (1958)

History
Yeah another Kurosawa movie.

Storyline
Two peasants just escaped a battle and are now searching for gold. They stumble upon a general who is trying to protect a princess. The peasants get involved, motivated by their greed.

Connections
Toshiro Mifune is the General.

This movie also inspired George Lucas about telling a story from the perspective of the two lowliest characters, in his case R2-D2 and C-3PO from Star Wars.

Thoughts
This was cool. Toshiro Mifune is good in his role, and there were some nice action scenes.

Rating

Oh hell yeah
