Most of the time I really dislike George Lucas for doing that to Kurosawa. It bothers me that he gets the vote for Best Movie Of All Time every year and Spielberg gets voted Best Director of All Time. What!?
Wouldn't you agree that elements from Kurosawa's films have been ripped off by American filmmakers more than any other filmmaker around? With his samurai films turned into westerns, his narrative style being used from cop dramas to silly high school films, his characters being adapted into space robots, and his ability to make a small room seem larger than life by simply keeping the camera moving.
