		Red blood cells are the most common type of blood cell and are the vertebrate body's principal means of delivering oxygen from the lungs or gills to body tissues via the blood.
		Red blood cells are thus much more common than the other blood particles: there are about 4,000–11,000 white blood cells and about 150,000–400,000 platelets in a cubic millimeter of human blood.
		Several blood tests involve red blood cells, including the RBC count (the number of red blood cells per volume of blood) and the hematocrit (percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells).

	Throne of Blood (Kumonosu jô)
		Throne of Blood is a particular favourite of mine, for the characterisation of its leads, and for its stunning cinematography.
		Shot in B&W, Throne of Blood is a great-looking film, with some of the best use of fl and white images I've seen in cinema.
		The elements are in full display, with rain and fog coating the film for the early scenes in the forest, and light streaming through to eerily paint the pale spirit the generals encounter.

		Throne of Blood takes substantial liberties with Macbeth in its location and dialect (expected, given the filmic tendency to depict Shakespeare in foreign scenarios).
		Throne of Blood is objectively and moralistically distant — literally, as much action is viewed from behind a veil of bushes and trees, investing a voyeuristic and impersonal quality.
		Its primary source subject to familiarity and its author’s trademark apparent, Throne of Blood is nonetheless original, liberally inspired by multiple sources and seen, in result, as a singular novelty.

		The much-debated issue about translating literature into film as applied to Throne of Blood and MacBeth seems to center around whether the text of the literary work should be faithfully adhered to in the film.
		The discussion continues regarding whether Throne of Blood is truly an adaptation of this source material but there is no doubt that Kurosawa's version is a riveting cinematic accomplishment.

		With "Throne of Blood," Kurosawa strips Macbeth to the bare bones of plot, then packs on new flesh in the form of scheming ambition in feudal Japan.
		The visuals are particularly stunning in "Throne of Blood." The cobweb forest is haunting, and the single weird sister, all in white spinning in a white cage, maintains the same chilling calmness of Washizu's wife.
		One of the many nice touches of "Throne of Blood" is the chance to see that Samurai at the height of their power.

	Throne of Blood
		In "Throne of Blood," Macbeth becomes the warrior Washizu (in a charismatic performance by Toshiro Mifune), who with his scheming wife Asaji (the great actress Isuzu Yamada), plot the savage murders of his friend and his king to seize power in war-torn 13th century Japan.
		Kurosawa also anticipates his later films in the tight formal structure of "Throne of Blood," not only are the compositions and stylistic tone of the film forecasting doom, but so is the tightly-wound, circular narrative.
		Perhaps the most bravura moment in the film is also one of the smallest -- the quiet rustling of the silk of Asaji's clothing as she disappears into the flness of a doorway to get poisoned sake to knockout the king's guards so her husband can cold-bloodedly murder the king.

	The Criterion Collection: Throne of Blood
		Critics commonly describe Throne of Blood as Kurosawa’s adaptation of Macbeth.
		This period, the Sengoku Jidai (The Age of the Country at War), was marked by internecine wars among rival clans, the absence of a national political power, and the kind of treachery, prevarication, and murder that Kurosawa dramatizes in Throne of Blood.
		In Throne of Blood, Ran, The Hidden Fortress, and Seven Samurai, Kurosawa concentrates on the period’s military strife, and his presentations of those conflicts are so apocalyptic as to imply that widespread killing was taking place in Japan’s medieval era.

		Throne of Blood is one of those Shakespeare adaptations which is not a simple retelling but a superb Japanese story of the lust for power and the rewards it reaps.
		Even so, I would not recommend THRONE OF BLOOD to western audiences who have never seen a Kurosawa film, for it is so completely Japanese in aesthetic that some may find it hard to grasp.
		If you're a Kurosawa fan and you've never seen THRONE OF BLOOD, this is your opportunity; if you're looking to replace an existing video with a DVD, this one is likely as good as it gets.

	Mindjack - DVD - Throne of Blood (Criterion Collection)
		Based on Macbeth, Throne of Blood (Kumonosu-jo) was Kurosawa's first attempt at adapting Shakespeare to the screen and, to many, it remains his best.
		Whereas many screen adaptations of Shakespeare (even lavishly produced ones) still have the feel of a filmed stage play, Throne of Blood is an extraordinarily cinematic film.
		Criterion discs don't come cheap, but as they've proven again here with Throne of Blood, you're usually richly rewarded for spending the extra bucks.

		Based on the Bard's Macbeth, Throne of Blood proves there is much more to Shakespeare's work than the language.

		While the plot is successful and Macbeth rises to the throne, many suspect him of the murder.
