In my own opinion, I would say that the film was accurate for choosing those three settings because there wouldn’t be any proper setting in the 1950s for a movie that takes place in the 11^th century of Japan, where in it is a period that Kurosawa thinks that would reveal and show the extremities of human behavior and its true nature.

That way the movie and its characters or say sense of characters become rather multi-dimensional based on how the characters claim how the event or story unfolded. That alone makes the film very engaging since it would make us wonder and think which actual event is true, and who or what is the truth. Not only because of that, but also because it explores further a event that can or might commonly happen to us humans. The movie is unique in the aspect where the directors and writers get to portray how humans would be like in a situation where in a person’s life is on the line. In the movie we also get to witness the ego, deception, and vanity of people just because of their own self-interest.

Like for example when the commoner, priest, and woodcutter was talking amongst themselves. It stood out to me because they were able to successfully showcase the rain. It stood out to me because during the time this movie was filmed, cameras were still under a lot of development, meaning not a lot will be easily captured by just simply setting a camera down on a certain place during a certain time. Another scene or say set of scenes that stood out to me was when the bandit Tajomaru running and jumping looking and chasing for either the samurai or the samurai’s wife. That stood out to me because again, the picture was clear, you could see the bandit running and jumping, it wasn’t jittery as what other films were. The actions were both exaggerated and smooth. Another scene that stood out to me was when the medium was “possessed” by the spirit of the samurai who was killed. It stood out to me mainly because the medium was able to synchronize her lips to the voice of the samurai. That for sure took a lot of practice, and since this happened during the 1950s, there was no workaround to lip synching perfectly. They were all good, the entire film was good, the only bad thing I could say about it, was that you have to give the film your 100% attention, because the scenes switch up very quickly. You look away for a second or a few, you are in a different setting already, but overall the film itself is great. Would recommend other to watch it.
