This is a pushy movie.

Even though Toshiro Mifune had been around years before, this was my first encounter with him. He plays a good personality to counter Charles Bronson. As I was saying, this is a movie pushy. Each character pushes the other to the brink. Gauche pushes Link who pushes Kuroda Jubie who pushes back and somewhere in there, among the Indians and others Cristina just gets pushed around.

I always think of this movie when i am watching "The Maltese Falcon" (1941); the conversation between Sam Spade and Gutman Kasper where Sam insists he did can not be influence by the threat of death. If they killed him Then They would not get the bird. Kasper says it takes a fine balance and not to push too hard, as there is no telling what a man may do in the heat of the moment and forget where his interests lie.

Well this film has a lot of heated moments and a lot of funny moments When the different cultures clash. This is definitely worth viewing.
