Die Legende vom großen Judo (1943)
8KDie Legende vom großen Judo: Directed by Akira Kurosawa. With Denjirô Ôkôchi, Susumu Fujita, Yukiko Todoroki, Ryûnosuke Tsukigata. Sugata, a young man, struggles to learn the nuance and meaning of judo, and in doing so comes to learn something of the meaning of life.
“Sugata sanshiro is a wonderful feel-good film. Itu0026#39;s tough to say that about a movie with martial arts where violence abounds, but Kurosawau0026#39;s subtle approach to character development and mood carry this film above and beyond. Even those who donu0026#39;t look for the art in films will see the beauty of this direction. The definition of characters is difficult to follow in the early scenes, but Susumu Fujita does a marvelous job with his portrayal of an-unsure judo student. Definitely a film that deserves your full attention.”
