I know exactly what you mean. When Kikuchiyo, a character who has been little more than a clown and a drunkard for the whole movie, bursts out with this heartfelt monologue in an off-kilter helmet and armor that doesn't fit, it should be over the top. But instead, thanks to Kurosawa's beautiful trading off between close-ups on him and reaction shots of the other samurai (and of course due to Mifune's incredible performance), it is appropriate for the situation.


Speaking of, even though every shot is breathtaking, they are not "art for art's sake." Every scene drives the story. It's as if he figures out what he needs to explain to move the story along, and then makes it as beautiful as he can.


So we haven't talked about the love story at all, between Shino and the rich kid Katsushiro. At first it's just a kind of puppy love romp but as they grow fonder their relationship raises some issues that might be valuable to discuss with students. Shino is a peasant farmer and Katsushiro is rather wealthy. She could marry above her station but it wouldn't be right for him to marry down. I see all sorts of Language Arts parallels to stories we teach. And if he wouldn't marry her, he could take her as a concubine but we get the sense he probably couldn't afford to support her. So if they were to, ahem, consummate their relationship she would in effect be ruined for any other man in this society.


That's what makes Shino's panting, supine, almost accusatorily seductive pose in the flowers so shocking! Remember a kiss couldn't be shown on Japanese movies until well into the American occupation after WWII because it was seen as something that should be confined to the bedroom.


I think it could be used as evidence that certain narrative structures transcend cultures.


Also, sociocultural issues as a way of understanding society and/or culture.


thoughts?

The train slid away from the station. My father and mybrother Horace lifted their hats to us from the pavement;we held the children up to the open window to kiss theirhands to them; I leaned forward for one last, fond look intothe dear eyes, and our journey had begun.
