Seen it along with most of Kurosawa's others. Great film from a great director. "The Hidden Fortress" is my favorite Kurosawa movie. I have another Japanese film "Musashi Miyamoto"(Part I of Inagaki's Samurai trilogy)rented currently but haven't watched it yet. Toshiro Mifune, the actor who starred in so many Kurosawa films, plays the title role.
Inagaki was sort of the Spielberg of Japan and his Samurai Trilogy was his triumph. I saw these as a child in the Kokusai movie theater in Crenshaw, Southern California. The first one is the best of the three and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language film that year. Hope you enjoy the liberal use of the phrase "Brace up" throughout the subtitles to the film.
I can see why you called this the Gone with the Wind of Japan. I liked all three parts of it. Epic and has some of the most beautiful cinematography that I've ever seen. I was beginning to wonder if it had been resubtitled until toward the end of the last one when the flurry of "brace up"'s finally arrived. I braced up and made it though the barrage. Another samurai movie I saw recently is Sword of Doom. Didn't like that one as well as the others I've seen.
