This is no small ‘thing when marketing a film can be almost as ‘expensive as making it. ‘One of the most successful remakes was the ‘spaghetti western’ A Fssful of Dollars, a remake of ‘the Japanese film Yojimbo. Ithas often been said that both films are all-time classics ofthe adventure “and western genres. Yojimbo (1961) was directed by Akiro Kurosawa, and is considered tobe one of the greatest lms ever made. Itis often described a a comedy, though ‘satire’ Is perhaps a better word to use. The plot centres on the title character, 4 Samurai, played by Toshiro Mifune, He arrives 4né village in 1860s Japan, and soon gets caught {na wer between two criminal gangs.

Why di Kurosawa sue the makers of A Fistful of Dollars? @ Have you seen any remakes? Did you see the original version? Which version was better in your opinion? In 1964, Yojimbo was remade by Sergio Leone ‘as A Fistful of Dollars. Unlike Yojimbo, the overall ‘mood of this film is more serious. Itis set in the ‘Old West, nineteenth-century Mexico, although it was filmed in Spain. An unknown American actor, Clint Eastwood, was chosen for the lead role. His character, like Yojimbo, is a loner who fights bandits, even though he seems just as cruel and violent as them, as he kills his enemies in a series of gun fights. However, Eastwood's character always spares innocent lives, and shows that he too is a man of honour. A Fistful of Dollars was a big hit in the USA. Leone’s ‘unique style of cinematography was widely acclaimed by critics. The acting, on the other hand, generally received bad reviews. Interestingly, ‘Sergio Leone was never actually given permission to remake Yojimbo. Shortly after A Fistful of Dollars ‘was released in Europe, Kurosawa sued the film studio, As a result, he received 15% of the film's profits. To this day, the connection to Kurosawa’s film is never mentioned in publicity.nal GRAMMAR 1 a Complete the sentences with the verbs in the box.

They take turns playing and giving advice so it's a social activity, not one that isolates people. In any case, most computer games these days have at least some multiplayer functionality. And in case you hadn’t realised, part of the success of the Wii console is that itis fun for the whole family, old and young. __... Computer games are not just 2 male activity. In fect, there is evidence that more girls than boys now play ‘computer games online. This should be no surprise as games designers have always been ahead of the movie business in providing positive role models for girls. Female game characters are often portrayed as powerful and independent. Look at the classic platform game, Tomb Raider. It's famous not only for its Impressive graphics, but also for its fabulous main character. Lara Croft is a great role model for girls: she’s tough and intelligent, and leads an exciting international life. ‘They also teach a great deal. Most systems need to have simple gameplay to help people start quickly. But afterwards, users need to gain the confidence and determination to go up a level. This teaches us that in order to accomplish more in life, we need to up our game! In addition, computer games often have a strong narrative, so they teach people about storytelling, character and other things that we also learn from literature, Many children don’t do a lot of exercise these days, but it’s wrong to blame computer games for this. Have you ever seen young kids jumping around with the controllers on their Wii system? With the new motion sensors on the next generation of consoles, the machine can even read the players’ movements without a control. With a split-screen game, two children can play and do exercise at the same time. So games aren't responsible for poor health. The biggest problem is that adults don’t let their children go out and play in case something bad happens to them, You can’t blame computer games for that. 4.
