Sensei Michelle

Sensei Baier joins us today to discuss the classic film The Hidden Fortress. I'm sure you must have heard that this movie was the inspiration for the first Star Wars movie. There is a lot more to say. A couple of notes: Sensei Jackie mentions the  theme from The Magnificent Seven. I did search and listen and it's worth the 5 minutes it takes - in case you're just hanging. We also mention a John Ford film called The Quiet Man - It starred John Wayne, not Jimmy Stewart. Oops!
I'm tagging in our episode on Samurai for 2 reasons. First This movie is set in feudal Japan so it's a nice fit. And second, I just uploaded this to YouTube where you can watch a slide show while you listen....check it out:
