this film's worthy of at least 10 reasons.
if only "action" films of today could live up to this standard...

1) The long shot when the samurai arrive on the hill overlooking the village and watch as everybody below scatters. (This makes more of an impression on the big screen, of course.)
2) The heartbreaking scene where Mifune rescues the screaming baby from the burning mill and recognizes himself. Never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
3) The surviving samurai watching as life in the village returns to normal after their work is over.
