Returning to their lord's castle, samurai warriors Washizu and Miki are waylaid by a spirit who predicts their futures. When the first part of the spirit's prophecy comes true, Washizu's scheming wife, Asaji, presses him to speed up the rest of the spirit's prophecy by murdering his lord and usurping his place. Director Akira Kurosawa's resetting of William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" in feudal Japan is one of his most acclaimed films.
My first time watching a Kurosawa film and I was already fascinated, the shots, the characters, the story, I loved everything in this film.
Based on Shakespeare's Macbeth, it manages to become the best adaptation of any of Shakespeare's works (in my opinion).
One of the best experiences I have had in the cinema.
Here are some of my favorite Phrases from the film.
"Will it never be gone? The blood. I wash and wash, yet the blood remains...and the smell! Will my hands never again be clean?"> “A man is not a man without ambition.”> “In this world you have to attack first, otherwise you want the others to get ahead of you and kill you first.”> “If you are going to make a mountain of corpses, at least make it so that you reach the sky.”**

peccato per il pacing generale sennò un voto più alto solo per il fatto di essere ambientato nel giappone feudale non glielo toglieva nessuno
