I think you ought to give Ikiru another shot. It is my favorite Kurosawa film.You were ridiculed for your last name?!? My last name is Eshita. To get people to spell it right, you take an "E" and an "a" and stick "shit" in the middle! I give the Meiji Restoration's tax system credit for that name. They renamed families based on the area where they lived and my father's ancestors lived on an estuary of a river delta (= "eshita" in Japanese). I have no way to trace my real family's name before that time.
