Morally corrupt film. Kurosawa made an excellent film, the first one he

had complete artistic freedom, and in it he attacked the Japanese syndicate, the Yakuza, as having a false brotherhood and being nothing but a murderous, malicious, disease upon society.
Contrast that with the American love affair with gangsterism which came about at some point during the Wild West, well before it reached fever pitch with the Roaring 20s, Capone's Chicago, and then later on with the competing big city families spread throughout the land.
"Drunken Angel" is a far greater film than the Godfather trilogy because it shows mankind can rise above base instincts.
The Godfather, no matter what Copolla says, glorified murderers, casting the two most charismatic American actors of its generation and showing them as brave family men (with faults, sure).
It is amoral garbage, for all of its obvious artistic merits. That it is so praised, with no discussion of its absolute meaning, shows how corrupt this society truly has become.
