Abstract (EN)

In this study of thesis; question of what the merits are that make Kurosawa Kurosawa is under debate. If we aproach the director with the viewpoint of a behaviorist, we must consider him with his environment, books he had read, things he had seen and watched, also his genetic inheritance, his own culture, in addition, the potential he already had. When we say genetic inheritance, we mention his father that provokes his love for cinema and introduces him with so many sports, besides his big brother that directs him especially to Dostoyevski. When we say his own culture, topic is marvellous visuality of Noh and Kabuki. Japanese stories that give points to Shakespeare?s tragedias moved deeply Kurosawa. At the same time, he was wise to easily breathe outside of his own land, even induced to speak the stories that accustomed to West mood in Japan as Japanese. When Kurosawa combined Dostoyevski and Shakespeare with his own genius, he created movies that each one is better than another. While Kurosawa was painting those pictures that he loved too much, he took lively colors from these masters and added his own talent to the light of his country. Thing that ensures Kurosawa to be `?Tennoo?? is his this eclecticism.
