Review
The movie comprises the time before that renaissance, as he strains to choose whether or not to keep his family engaged in his career, chiefly his manager mother, played in another of Melissa Leo's powerfully indomitable, matter-of-fact performances, and his fellow boxer and trainer half-brother Dicky, played by a bizarrely compelling Christian Bale, and his astonishingly intolerant, self-absorbed sisters, whose presence gives Mickey that extra boost of respect from us, as it must've been hell's seventh circle growing up in an isolated household with them.

Introduction to Best of Japanese Cinema - Part 1 (Kurosawa & Mifune)

The Magnum Opus Of Japanese Cinema : Seven Samurai 

Cinema in Japan has lot in common to Indian Cinema. Like India they have big industry producing third highest number of films annually after India and USA. But like India best work is mostly outside that factory type Studios turning out products each year, as a result true Cinema and great directors and actors you can count on fingers. My focus is on artistic beauty so i will cover later Category of heavy weights.

once again like India, Japan also had it's golden age of cinema in 50's. In india it was time of greats directors like
Bimal Roy,  Guru Dutt, Satyajeet ray, Ritwik Ghatak, Mrinal Sen, Chetan Anand and Buddhadeb Dasgupta 
Similarly Japan also had it's most influential Directors working together in 50's
Akira Kurosawa (Greatest)
, Yasujirō Ozu, Kenji Mizoguchi, Ishirō Honda, Teinosuke Kinugasa, Hiroshi Inagaki, Masaki Kobayashi
Since movies are like poetry Which requires efforts at three stages for final accomplishment. these are
having an idea about what to show putting together the ideas into rough narrative  finding the best expressions for narrative. Thus without doubt director is central figure to movie like a poet to poem
but here actors are to movie, what language is to poem and just like best of poets are incomplete without language, it is not possible to have masterpieces with efforts of directors alone. so indeed 50's were also the time of greatest japanese actors

Legendry Toshirō Mifune, Great Takashi Shimura, Other notable additions -  Yoshio Tsuchiya,
Tatsuya Nakadai, ken watanbe (later period)
