  • Having analysed the historical figure of the samurai and taking a brief look at the movies by Kurosawa which revolve around these medieval warriors, the author takes a quick look at the different genres of Japanese cinema (chambara, jidai-geki), the starts of which are precisely these individuals. From here on, the article establishes a separation in Kurosawa´s work between Throne of Blood and Ran, on the one hand, and The Seven Samurai. The bodyguard and Sanjuro, on the other, to affirm that while the former two reflect on the traditional moral of the Japanese high classes, the latter three are closer to the individual sphere. An analytical starting point finally complemented with the study of both groups of films and the part playen in them by people like the woman or the ronin (samurais with no lords), among others.
