I know this is an Akira Kurosawa movie, who is a popular Japanese director still I was surprised to find that it was in the top 250 on imdb.com. I didn't know it was that popular. I think it's just as good as "It's a Wonderful Life" in showing the value of life. It's about a man who has cancer and has just months to live. He directs his attention on a playground project. When the man dies, he leaves a lot of people including his family to wonder about his motives and whether he knew he had cancer. It isn't suspenseful like many of Kurosawa's movies but it's a nice quiet thinker.
