Watching "Yojimbo"

I really have no attention span anymore.

"Idiot! Gamblers make peace to get ready for a bigger fight."

The coffin-maker's face is closed. A closed box. The faces in this movie!

Other stuff I really like about Yojimbo:
1. The whole "like his name, he is [noun or quality x]; but underneath, he is really [something you might not expect from noun or quality x]" formulation.
2. The sliding panels in the old man's restaurant and what they allow to be seen vs. keep hidden.
3. The rain.

"Ghosts? They make me feel just great!"
