Hideo Oguni
Hideo Oguni (小国 英雄, Oguni Hideo, 9 July 1904 – 5 February 1996) was a Japanese writer who wrote over 100 screenplays. He is best known for co-writing screenplays for a number of films directed by Akira Kurosawa, including Ikiru, The Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood and The Hidden Fortress. His first film with Kurosawa was Ikiru, and according to film professor Catherine Russell, it was Oguni who devised that film's two-part structure. Film critic Donald Richie regarded him as the "humanist" among Kurosawa's writers. In 2013, Oguni and frequent screenwriting collaborators Kurosawa, Shinobu Hashimoto and Ryūzō Kikushima were awarded the Jean Renoir Award by the Writers Guild of America West.Writing credits other than for Kurosawa films include Heinosuke Gosho's Entotsu no mieru basho in 1953, Koji Shima's Warning from Space in 1956, Tora! Tora! Tora!, and Hiroshi Inagaki's Machibuse in 197
Consider who we're dealing with here. Give a wolf a taste of your leg and he'll ask for your hand.
Actually, kids work harder than adults. But only if you treat them like adults.
Find hungry samurai. Even bears come down from the mountains when they are hungry.
All farmers ever do is worry, whether the rain falls, the sun shines or the wind blows. In short, all they know is fear.
Train yourself, distinguish yourself in war... But time flies. Before your dream materializes, you get gray hair. By that time your parents and friends are dead and gone.
You all make great scarecrows. Problem is, the enemy isn't a bunch of sparrows and crows!
This baby... It's me... It's what happened to me!
You fool! Damn you! You call yourself a horse! For shame! Hey! Wait! Please! I apologize! Forgive me!
Shichiroji: Kikuchiyo, what on earth are you doing? Kikuchiyo: I can't kill a lot with one sword!
So. Again we are defeated. [Shichiroji looks puzzled at Kambei] The farmers have won. Not us.
Danger always strikes when everything seems fine.
This is the nature of war: By protecting others, you save yourselves. If you only think of yourself, you'll only destroy yourself.
Kambei Shimada: Go to the north. The decisive battle will be fought there. Gorobei Katayama: Why didn't you build a fence there? Kambei Shimada: A good fort needs a gap. The enemy must be lured in. So we can attack them. If we only defend, we lose the war.
