60 of 158 · most liked firstA movie no one ever talks about - it might not even be THAT good - but you still love it. filmsky 📽️🎬 Star Wars (1977) fun Hidden Fortress remake with a scifi twist made by a still green George Lucas (his 3rd movie) A lesser Alec Guiness vehicle but Peter Cushing is great in this piece of 70s pulp

Big thanks to James & @dc.com for making this happen. Go watch #superman in theaters July 11th!

neutral · AI labelView post →Japanese filmmaking legend Akira Kurosawa was a big influence. The Hidden Fortress is a film about rescuing a princess, told from the point of view of two peasants. Lucas changed peasants to droids, and started the story in Star Wars from their perspective. 10/37

positive · AI labelView post →Yesterday felt like a DC superhero film. Lex Luthor, supervillain, breaks into Superman's Fortress of Solitude to steal Superman's kryptonite and secret info. His intention: Take down Superman and subjugate the people of Smallville. Gov't. officials stand idly by.

A story of rival clans, hidden gold and a princess in distress, The Hidden Fortress is a thrilling mix of fairy story and samurai action movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ok enough time has passed. What do you all think of the 1977 art house classic STAR WARS? It’s a niche science fiction fantasy that is largely a riff of Flash Gordon and Akira Kurosawa's 1958 film The Hidden Fortress. It did ok at the box office and won a few awards.
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw the Hidden Fortress. Pretty great. Most people only know it as “The Movie that influenced Star Wars,” which is a tad unfortunate. Because it is a really cool movie that deserves to be recognized on its own merits.

It's an astounding creation, which (along with The Hidden Fortress, and others) had an influence on George Lucas.
