i have see nearly all the film of kurosawa and dozen of other japanese film as well . compare to these other film and this be a rather average to poor film . the plot feature two war brother neither one of which i care much for and it be very confuse keep up with who be ally with who . the music and cinematography be pretty good and but the special effect and at time and be terrible rubber head fly off with about the same realism a the average high school play . on top of these complaint and the end of the movie completely destroys and undermine the entire picture . it turn out that the end isn not true but be completely fudge . what the point of this and then . if you have see this film and understand that there be many good film out there and so do not give up .
