Holy fucking kino
the best film /tv/'s ever recommended me. it's an incredible viewing experience.
>>215511152It really is insane
>>215511082>>215511152>>215511580Is this actually good or is it reddit 'good'?I thought the prosthetics/makeup for the old guy looked really fucking bad and it makes me thing this sucks
>>215511708It's actually good. Regarding the makeup on the old guy, you start out thinking it's goofy but you realize that it's an insanely kino decision from a cinematographic and metaphorical perspective as the movie goes on.
>>215511748Interesting. I like other Kurosawa movies so I'll give it a try.
Its apparently free on Tubi so no excuses anyone who wants to watch some vintage Kurakino.
>>215511082It's just Gook King Lear.
>>215511794>vintageIMO it's honestly aged really well. It rarely feels like an "old" movie
>>215511818Vintage isn't a knock.
>>215511794Best way to experience this is in cinema. If you see it advertised at an indie drop everything and go.
>>215511082Not even one of Kurosawa's best, but that still makes it a thousand times better than most other movies.
Did her pussy have magical powers?
>>215511082Kagemusha appealed to me more when starting to adult. Ran was too stagey, overstated at times. Now I think the bleak ending is apt. He saw where humanity's going even in 1985.
Watch Kagemusha too
>>215512004She's married to the guy interviewing women in Audition.
>>215512150Korea remade this with Lee Byun-hun (No Other choice lead)
>>215512183the fucking balls on those pricks, japan should pay them another visit
>>215511082Yes Ran is supreme kino
>>215512004Most pussies do.
>>215512001>Not even one of Kurosawa's bestIt kinda is tho
>>215512004>Did her pussy have magical powers?I mean...
Bump
>>215512353He has at least 8 movies that are better. Don't get me wrong, I like what Kagemusha and Ran bring to the table, but they obviously show signs of Kurosawa getting older and losing some of his skill.
>>215511082>>215511152Buy an ad
>>215513025>He has at least 8 movies that are betterSurely you can name them
>>215513189Stray DogRashomonIkiruSeven SamuraiThrone of BloodThe Bad Sleep WellYojimboHigh and Low
>>215513347>Rashomon>seven samurai>yojimboThese are fine. Ran mogs the rest
>>215513399You're only saying that because they're his three most popular movies and you're a slave to the official consensus.
>>215513455No, then I'd include ikiru and high and low too.
reminder: ran is just king lear, so the only way one could praise it more than other Kurosawa films is if they’ve never read king lear
>>215513557Ikiru maybe, but High and Low's still not at the forefront of normies enjoyment of Kurosawa.
>>215513574>ran is just king learIt's too different. The characters and story are much less interesting than the play.
>>215511758I'll add to what anon said and say that I think it is overrated among Kurosawa films, but it is still wayyyy better than 90% of films. Plus it's in color and everything looks very cool
>>215511082For me, it's Kagemusha.
>>215513574>you HAVE to have read my britbongerino poetry!!!Everything outside of hamlet was irrelevant.
>>215511813>asians once again improve upon the white man's creationwhy do we admonish them so when we should be uniting to conquer the stars?
>>215511082>Let me destroy my empire based on a dream
>>215513814>>215513848King Lear is probably the greatest play ever written. Kurosawa degrades it with every change he makes, it's impossible to improve upon perfection.
>>215513347For some reason I couldn't dig Throne of Blood, it just felt like a filmed theater production of Macbeth (but everyone is a samurai now)
>>215511708it's really good, seeing it in a theater was amazingthe makeup looks theatrical and weird in stills out of context, but it works in the film
