When I was in NY, I was always told
"Why haven't you seen Kurosawa movies though you are Japanese??? He is great!!"
from many of my friends.
And also I was said same thing from my English teacher in Tokyo after I came back.
Foreigners admire him even though they are young.
Luckily TOHO Cinemas Chanter has been showing
30 Kurosawa movies for hundredth anniversary of his birth
since March 27th.
Once I saw [The Quiet Duel] in the theater, I was really into his movies!!
I've seen 6 of his movies so far.
I'll go to see his movie as many as possible.
Beginning of this event, most of the audience are elderly.
Recently I've seen some young people.
I saw [Seven Samurai] today.
The seats were sold out, and it was fantastic!!
