Toshiro Mifune's fists are always closed so let's focus on his eyes

Seriously, his fists always seem to be closed while he's standing. I'm only basing this on the Kurosawa films I've been seeing lately. But I wanted to quickly mention this scene from Throne of Blood [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050613/] that I just loved as it highlight's Mifune's intensity and ability to convey emotion through facial expression. After he and his companion Miki encounter the forest spirit and are on their way to receive accolades for defending their Lord's realm, there's a great moment when Mifune's character Washizu walks toward his ruler to receive his reward. I love the look on Mifune's face, full of seriousness and intent, as he walks forward.

Now, the look on his face - as he walks in the opposite direction - is full of fear and doubt. IMAGE: "Mifune after"[http://blog.humaneguitarist.org/uploads/throne_of_blood_out.png]
