==Legacy==
[[Akira Kurosawa]]'s 1960 film ''[[The Bad Sleep Well]]'', was heavily influenced by [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Hamlet]]'', as well as ''[[The Count of Monte Cristo]]'' by [[Alexandre Dumas]].{{sfn|Tsuzuki|2010|p=299}} [[Roman Polanski]]'s 1971 film version of ''[[Macbeth (1971 film)|Macbeth]]'' has similarities to ''Throne of Blood'', in shots of characters on twisted roads, set design, and music to identify locations and psychological conditions.{{sfn|Kliman|2004|p=195}} [[Toshiro Mifune]]'s death scene was the source of inspiration for [[Piper Laurie]]'s death scene in the 1976 film ''[[Carrie (1976 film)|Carrie]]'',{{sfn|Zinoman|2011|p=168}} in which knives are thrown at her, in this case by character [[Carrie White]] using her psychic powers. In 1985, Kurosawa returned to adapting Shakespeare, choosing the play ''[[King Lear]]'' for his final [[epic film]] ''[[Ran (film)|Ran]]'', and again moving the setting to feudal Japan.{{sfn|Davies|1994|p=153}}
