Shakespeare's human impulses in Kurosawa's film
Shakespeare's remarkable inventions of personalities have contributed to his enduring appeal on a global scale. The bulbous, comic Falstaff, the cruel Edmund and crueller Iago, the acceleratingly ambitious Macbeth and, of course, the charismatic Prince of Denmark himself—they stay relevant, unchanged in spirit through their journeys of translation, at least in the films and plays in South Asia that I am aware of. In Akira Kurosawa's three films based on Shakespeare plays, the Japanese maestro tones down this very remarkable aspect of Shakespeare. He plays around instead with the unforgettable emotions that the Bard's plays gift us.
