The immense influence Kurosawa had on the modern Westerns is certainly interesting. In Leone's films, the main protagonists are renegades who do not bow down to anybody, nor do they take orders from a master. Eastwood's ''The man with no name'' is a direct homage to Kurosawa's samurai. Not only characters and script there is a great influence on the action scenes. Westerns would not be the same again if it not for Kurosawa and just looking at the state of Asian cinema welcomed by the West, these samurai films were not popular strictly down to the appalling representation of Asian cinema in the world. Times are changing and Korea's Parasite is sparking interest in Asian film.
