The Hidden Fortress

This was one of George Lucas' inspirations for Star Wars.  I watched Star Wars the next day after this.  Yup, it is apparent.  Still, this is a great movie and I love Star Wars.  It makes me admire George Lucas even more.  The robots in Star Wars were obviously modeled after the peasants.  The Hidden Fortress is different from Kurosawa's usual work in that it is a comedy and is one of the director's favorites.   It's about two peasants and a princess that is wanted.  Soon the princess enters their life only they don't take her for a princess but rather a mute.
