Sanshiro Sugata

"But your judo and my judo are worlds apart. Do you know why? Because you don't understand humanity." I am convinced that, had the original cut been preserved, this would be considered a masterpiece. Despite flaws, he lays the foundation for a plethora of genres. The tracking and crane shots are later transcribed by Leone & the characters by Tarentino. Filmed with conviction and yet a WISE film. This was a DEBUT?!
