...(1910-1998) was one of film historys most unique and innovative moviemakers. His haunting style has been imitated by both Hollywood and independent directors who would be thought of as great artists but the problem being that Kurosawa is inimitable. It may be the simple fact of being Japanese and creating movies that are so not Western that resulted in such powerful yet alien stories and images. Then again, it may be that the depth of deliberate intelligence he used in creating and presenting a story did not offer the best potential for box office returns. For whatever reason, Kurosawas fifty years of movie-making produced films that have demonstrated that regardless how much money is spent or how spectacular the special effects may be, entertainment cannot rival what is authentic art in terms of the impact that can be made by a movie. The famous American filmmaker, Martin Scorcese noted in tribute when Kurosawa died that: Kurosawa introduced Japanese cinema to the West in 1950 with Roshomon, a work of tremendous moral and cinematic force whose influence on Western filmmakers is immeasurable (29).
