Tatsuya Nakadai, Japanese Film Legend That Starred in ‘Ran,’ ‘Harakiri’ and ‘The Human Condition’ Trilogy, Dies at 92:https://variety.com/2025/film/obituaries-people-news/tatsuya-nakadai-dead-japanese-ran-harakiri-1236574628/this guy's filmography is impressive
is he in Red Beard? I downloaded it ages ago but never watched it.
>>215848082F A true legend.
>>215848099>I downloaded it
>RanJapanese kino has lost one of the greats today...
Where's the fucking sticky
You fags better sticky this. He is the most kino actor nipland has ever produced.
I must watch the human condition now. I feel bad for neglecting to do so for so long.
This is so sad
>>215848099no, he starred in several Kurosawa's film, but not that one:Yojimbo, Ran, Kagemusha, High and Low, Sanjuro, plus a small part in Seven Samurai.
WHERE'S THE STICKY, MODS?
>>215848217>he was the crazy gun guy
I think of him every time I think of stupid martial arts larpers.F
>>215848082RIP, never seen any old japanese movies, where can I watch them?
>>215848165It's not a slog at all despite the length.
>>215848082If this doesn't get a sticky I will be furiously mad.
>>215848656Your local library should have many movies available on DVD, including international films.
Most dishonorable mods to not pay respect
>>215848082Damn dude, Harakiri was what got me into Japanese movies. That fukin sucks, at least he lived a long life I guess.
>>215848752I work at a library and we got lots of old and foreign (read:not American) but I don't think we've got any old Japanese stuff.
>>215848133it's boring. Kagemusha is better.
1 Harakiri 2 The Face of Another3 When a Woman Ascends the Stairs4 Yojimbo5The Scandalous Adventures of Buraikan
>>215848082F.Just watched Harakiri the other day, amazing film."Who can fathom the depths of another man's heart?"
>>215848217The mods wouldn't have even heard of this guy before.
>>215848656Install bit torrent. It's ridiculously simple.
>>215848641This movie is so depressing.
>>215848082/raises bowl of sake
Big F. Lost a great one.
>>215848082Fuck, f to a great one
he joins his brothas
>>215848099>I downloaded itenjoy going to prison retard
>>215848082guy looked great for a jap
>>215848842correction3 Odd Obsession(1959)
>>215848656If you have HBO Max they're on there. The Kurosawa films at least.
>>215848082RIP to a real nigga
>>215849199why don't they look like this anymore?
>>215848082I didn't want to like him bc he wasn't cool like Mifune, but Harakiri, Kagemusha, Sword of Doom, Face of Another became obsessions at various times. And he was the owner of Hachiku in a lame tear-jerker with the GOAT doggo
>>215849223animu
>>215848641He meant samurai retained to protect some lord who never sent them to real fights. And this was about unemployed skilled worker, basically the system was corrupt b/n haves + have nots even if they trained to defend fake ideas like honor + hierarchy. Only postwar, ANTIWAR survivors like Kobayashi would be UP YOURS to the Japan system.
fuck
>>215848217This would be zesty to zoomers today, but he was told to play it western
>>215848165can't bring myself to see it, but incredible work for low-budget
>>215848163His thief in Kagemusha ranting the Lord shingen is an emperor with no clothes, with his own bare legs showing is ++++. Also he mentored Koji Yakusho the toilet cleaner
>>215849188I am 24 years old and have never had trouble torrenting, it's enabled me to watch a shit ton of good movies I would have never seen because they are paywalled on 100 different dogshit streaming platforms that the IPs leapfrog to so I can never own films normally. I seriously don't get how faggots like you are even alive being so incompetent.
>>215849403> paywalled on 100 different dogshit streaming platforms that the IPs leapfrog to so I can never own films normallyI'm 32 years old and buy movies physically :DNever paid for a streaming platform in my life, never will. Torrenting is fine too
It seems /tv/ doesn't really watch movies. Hmph.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tO9JC0xS-U
>>215849223Facial hair makes him a completely different person
>>215848082WHERE THE FUCK IS HIS STICKY?!?!?
>>215850361Unc thinks people know who his silent movie stars are
>>215849223Because the entertainment industry is selecting for pretty boys with low Ainu admixture due to foreign (Korean) influence and domestic changes in perception (Feminism and Modernity making those males less marketable).
>>215850536>AinuChad Japanese are almost invariably Jomon
>>215850729I thought Jomon were Ainu, or rather the Ainu are what's left of the original Jomon.
>>215850768Ah, you might be right.
>>215848656loads of them on https://archive.org/
wow , he was the old Lord in 'Ran'
>>215850938Lord :: I have made my decision, I make yellow son kingYellow son :: i don't want to be kingBlue son :: i want to be kingLord :: Ok, I make blue son king/moviethey should remake it as a tiktok
One of my favorite films of his with Harakiri.Kinda hidden gem if i think about it now, not very well known and has some tragic to it, but also hint of 'Indiana Jones' if you will.Its about samurai who abandons his clan after they do a gold heist on the shogun's ships - and kill a fishing village that witness it. He then hears the clan is in financial trouble and about to do the same heist again.
>>215850980Goyokin is solid. None of nakadai’s films are unknown except portrait of hell and a few others. I’ve seen his entire filmography. Nothing by hideogosha is “unknown”lol
>>215850995All of his films are virtually unknown to the average movie goer. You have to have an interest in Japanese films for them to be on your radar.
>>215851084Harakiri is #1 and 3 of his other films are in the top 20 on letterboxed. This isn’t 2001 anymore dude. His shit is mainstream now.
>>215851099Well I've never heard of Goyokin before and will check it out
>>215851107I keep saying this but watch portrait of hell. It’s literally his greatest performance.
>>215851115based japanese film enjoyer. i only ever watched harakiri and that was kino of the highest order
>>215851128In my youth. I’ve seen hundreds if not over a thousand Classical Japanese films. Most are not even available online in any format. Go down the raizo ichikawa rabbit hole sometime. He was more famous than anyone before he died from cancer in 1967.
Oh noooo I googled his name on Sunday
He can't act like Kitano
>>215851115Alright, added to the ever growing list I guess
>>215848082He was otherwordly in Ran. The scene where he emerges from the burning castle, looking more like a ghost than a man, with his sanity completely wiped haunts meRIP
>>215848641An hero
jannies??? where him sticky dicky???
Good. I want Japan to become a theme park for western foreigners. Tanchinbo for all of us. Simple as. The poorer the better.
oh fuck i didnt know the hari kiri guy was still alive, well not anymore I guess. Rest in peace to a real one
>>215849199>>215849223He had to have had some Jomon in him
>>215851158what have you done
>>215851173thank god for that
>>215848598He also was the bad guy in Sanjuro, the sequel. And Kagemusha and Ran if memory serves. I liked him in Men of the Yamato.
Where is the FUCKING STICKY???
>>215849223man i wish i had facial hair as nice as him and not this patchy hobo shit, FUCK
>>215851173I love Kitano but he can't act, he always plays a cooler version of himself.
RIP IN PEACE TO A LEGENDSTICKY NOW
>>215848163>>215848217>>215848147Hardly anyone cares sadly. Dude was in some of the greatest movies ever and his death is getting very little attention because no one cares if it's not hollywood slop. >>215849362Makes sense since Koji is now the greatest living Japanese actor after his sensei's death
>>215851682Mifune couldn't grow a real beard either and he was an extremely handsome man
>>215851819??
>>215851836Well, Red Beard was later in his life. He was limited to that patchy look in his 20s
>>215849289Yes, anon. Samurai during the time of tokugawa shogunate are fucking larpers.
>>215850361this, fucking retarded jannies
>>215848082RIP legend
>>215850959Nah, the point of the movie is women ruins everything. And good women will eventually die.
>ooooOOOooo where is my sticky?
sticky doko ka?
>>215851115Thanks, anon. I'll watch this after work.
>>215849223You clearly haven't pay attention to japanese media lately.
Thanks for the good work mate. Rest in peace.
>>215851910war ruins everything*Lady Kaede was the result of Hidetora's cruelty, which again was the result of the cruel times he lived in. You reap what you sow
No sticky? Mods should commit harakiri in shame.
>>215852024Silence, woman. Hidetora tried his best to make the whore to be happy. But, women knows no happiness, they always seeks for more. And the whore thought that vengeance will make her happier.
>>215852024yeah but the pussy game was insane
>>215848082Goddamn what a legend. We kneel."In the early 1950s, Kobayashi was preparing to shoot The Thick-Walled Room (Kabe atsuki heya, 1953), one of his early postwar films at Shochiku Studios. Around that time, he happened to notice a young man working as a clerk in a Ginza clothing store in Tokyo. That man was Tatsuya Nakadai.Kobayashi was struck by Nakadai’s striking appearance and presence — even before seeing him act — and invited him to audition. Although Nakadai had little acting experience (he had done some stage work in amateur theater), Kobayashi saw potential in his intensity and expressive face."
>>215852408>Just be handsome brouggos in the mud again.
>>215848082God dammit I was just boasting his longevity like a couple of weeks ago.
No seriously where the fuck is his sticky? He was a staple in Kurosawa and samurai films for decades. He's right up there with Mifune and is a /tv/ legend.
>>215848082RIP. He was better than Mifune
>>215848217> This isn't one of my tranime so I don't care
>>215852789this
>>215849223Japan is pozzed now.
>>215848082F(Re)atched High and Low and Yojimbo during a special Kurosawa event last montv
>>215848082He's Japan's literally me
>>215852957Wait nevermind, I'm thinking of Toshiro Mifune
>>215852789A sticky might distract from the Sweeney threads, sorry.
He may have the single greatest filmography ever and I doubt it will be matched. No other actor has been in such a vast range of incredible films.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gqdh3eR8rkI
>>215848641Holy fucking based, RIP
>>215853001>He may have the single greatest filmography everPossibly. I'd say Mifune, Max von Sydow, and, (when it comes to American actors) Jack Nicholson are up there.
>>215853001jackie chan is better than this jap
>>215853001>No other actor has been in such a vast range of incredible films.Maybe Emil Jannings? There's really not many contenders.
I heard somewhere that Mishima really liked Yojimbo so I'm going to watch it.
>>215848082RIP nakadashi-sama
>>215848082Rest in peace.
>>215853166I would say there's only a handful of actors with a comparable filmography, apart from the ones >>215853041mentioned (mainly Max von Sydow) I would add Robert Duvall and unironically Tom Cruise
>>215848082>>215848147It's FUCKING EMBARRASSING that these nu-mod MUTTS stickied a fucking streamer on /v/ but rats on /tv/ won't sticky the main star of HARAKIRIIt's FUCKING CRIMINAL that this is a second or third thread now

STICKY WHEN!!!S
>>215850361Shame from the board of /tv/ for such barbarity, shame
Tatsuya Nakadai's film career is worth more than the average 10 Hollywood actors.
>>215848082RIP
If janny doesn't sticky this I'm losing it NIGGERS
LOLIDF fears the samurai
sticky ffs you heathen mods
>>215848082>the old hag that played Michael Corleone bitch wife got a sticky and Nakadai doesnt
>>215853475>no Kagemushathis man was in so many masterpieces it's hard to keep track of them
This was the only era where "Asian masculinity" actually worked. Screw all those fake martial shit like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee that came after. Samurai are a hundred times cooler.
oh shit, its the other masculine samurai guy F
>>215849223I live in Japan and there are still numerous Japanese men that look like this, but media today mostly just wants to focus on the pretty boy look rather than classic masculinity.
>>215853731Because what Japanese audiences want are pretty boys not gross hairy dudes
He was in a dozen masterpieces yet never resorted to just playing himself or doing some hackneyed method thing. He was always there to support the director's vision without imposing himself upon the work. That's the rarest quality for actors.
>>215848082Good

Fine i will watch Harakiri
>>215848099Hope you have your things in order —The police are on their way.
THERE ARE MULTIPLE THREADS ALREADY JUST PICK ONE AND STICK IT YOU FUCKING CUNTS
What is this belief in /tv/ that Japs stopped being brown?The popular actors just go clean shaven now.
>>215854104Maybe, just maybe, that is what a sticky is for?
>>215854104if only something would indicate to sticky to one thread.
More....More like...Tatsuya...NakaDIE....RIP
>>215848082I would have thought for sure this guy was already long deadRip, Harakiri is one of my top five ever
>>215848082R.I.P. in peace, my nigga
>>215853340Maybe Alain Delon or Jean Gabin? They were in a stack of French classics, although of course not as good at acting.I know Sydow was in many Bergman but what other great films was he in?
>>215853373this
I want to point out just how telling it is that this isn't being sticky'd. the jannies unironically do not know just how big of an actor Nakadai was. they are not familiar with someone who transcended borders in film across decades. they do not think it's important because they more than likely have never watched a film he has been in. it's all kind of ironic
>>215854360>but what other great films was he in?Imo The New Land and The Emigrants (the 2 best Scandinavian films not by Bergman), The Exorcist, Conan the Barbarian, and Three Days of the Condor. He also had a bunch of small parts in Hollywood blockbusters (Shutter Island, Star Wars, James Bond, etc, even if they're not 'great' films, they do show a pretty solid range).
>>215850995>>215851099>None of nakadai’s films are unknown except portrait of hell and a few othersHalf his movies have <250 views on imdb. Some have 20 or less.
>>215854432who gives a shit? man is a legend who will live forever in the annals of kino
>>215854424>Imo The New Land and The Emigrants (the 2 best Scandinavian films not by Bergman),Yeah, those are definitely up there, I can't believe I totally forget about them. The Exorcist I can understand, but Conan and the Condor? They don't strike me as on the level of Nakadai's movies.
>>215854621Nah, Conan is kino. I think it's one of the best films from that immediate post-New Hollywood but pre-blockbuster era. That aside, you're right that Von Sydow's Hollywood career isn't on the level of peak Nakadai, but I don't think anyone's is.

>>215854900I team up with him on a suicide attack against the Ii clan. Fuck those posers.
>>215853731Shame. The handsome, evil men enjoyers could get a lot of mileage of out of Black River or Sword of Doom if only they would watch black and white movies.
>>215848082Was he THE yojimbo?
>>215848217>>215848598ah I guess he was that guy.kino either way. F F F
>>215856285No, he was the Cowboy Wannabe.
>>215856285No, the other one.
>>215849223Blame koreans and the popularity of their media. There are still jomon looking men in Japan but they're not trendy.
>>215853001This
>>215853001
Many of his lesser known films are also worth watching
>The Human Condition>Yojimbo>Sanjuro>Harakiri >High and Low>Kwaidan>Samurai Rebellion>The Face of Another>Sword of Doomall in the 60s. Gotta be the greatest decade anyone ever had.
>>215856578You forgot Hitokiri, that one is kino.
Sociopathic Nietzschean kino from 1959
>no sticky>10+ Sweeney threadsJannies deserve a pay cut.
>>215856606>>215856576>>215856555>>215856642I'm seeing all kinds of new movies here
>>215856808Man was in a lot of kino
>>215856963Also in some quality yakuza films
>>215849289>Only postwar, ANTIWAR survivors like Kobayashi would be UP YOURS to the Japan system.Japanese filmmakers still do that to this day. A recent example is Kubi by Takeshi Kitano that he directed, starred in, wrote and released in 2023.That film was 100% all about satirizing and shitting on the Sengoku era unifiers (Nobunaga, Toyotomi and Tokugawa) and the whole system of samurai feudalism. The movie depicted every single one of the major figures of the era and their underlings as being mixtures of backstabbing, opportunistic, cowardly and/or psychotic cunts, with zero qualms about defying feudal traditions if it meant saving their own asses and ensuring progress in their campaigns of conquest. But of course, /tv/ hated the movie because it featured a grand total of like 3-4 minutes of footage of Yasuke in its 2h11m runtime.
>>215851819
>>215851974Takeshi Kaneshiro is also pretty damn handsome.
>>215857270See >>215851849A lot of people have to wait for ages until the beard genetics finally kick in
>>215857236>backstabbing, opportunistic, cowardly and/or psychotic cunts, with zero qualms about defying feudal traditionsAll true in Toyotomi's case.
>>215857317Beards need to be grown out for a while, depending on the genetics. When you shave you reset the progress because your hair doesn't all grow at the same speed. Some people grow a full beard in a week, others never, but most people can fill their patches if they wait long enough. the problem is that it looks like shit for a few months.
>>215849362>Also he mentored Koji Yakusho the toilet cleanerLoved him in Cure and in 13 Assassins. He also has a similar soulful gaze that Nakadai has.
can't think of an actor that has been in more good shit. the guy was an institution.
>>215849223Beauty standards have changed over time. Most Asians don't have facial features that are as prominent as those of other ethnicities for example many can't even grow a full beard. As a result beauty ideals tend to shift toward the local average. Additionally media consumed by young women such as the shoujo genre heavily influences their preferences.
>>215853669Kill! is also good. It came out in the late 1960s and basically satirized the samurai movies from earlier decades, including Yojimbo and Sanjuro. Nakadai's character in the movie is basically a parody version of Mifune's ronin character.And whatever material he's in, he elevates. For example, he was the best part in a made-for-TV adaptation of 13 Assassins released in 1990. Here's the full film with subtitles on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpL6zQ1mGm8
>>215857492And to think of it he accidentally stumbled into this profession because director Masaki Kobayashi encountered him in a Tokyo shop where Nakadai worked as a clerk and thought his face looked cinematic so he cast him for a film on the spot
>>215857635What the hell, so did he never go to acting school or anything?
>>215857740He did, but he got the job in the classic boomer fashion where you meet a random guy and he immediately gives you a handshake and the job apparently
>>215853045Bait but Jackie is a super underrated actor
>>215857787The Japanese wiki on him is a lot more detailed and doesn't mention the shop encounterhttps://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BB%B2%E4%BB%A3%E9%81%94%E7%9F%A2

>>215858730The thread was mosrly talking about his looks before it got stickied so you played yourself containment thread faggot.
>>215858836His world is filled with lives that serve no purpose but to preserve a caste system that protects the wealthy, no one's life has greater meaning than that, including his, he will probably writes some haiku about the radiance of the Emperor after getting home and making sure his taxes are paid.Much like us.
>>215858847I remember him best for lines like>Okay I'm ready to kill myself there's just one more thing before I do
>>215858895Yes, but no one is vigorously fellating Peter Faulk for being an icon of grolious film-making.Most of these nips have less range than Dwayne Johnson.

>>215854166damn, that guy from judgement got old
>>215858942>>215858951Eh. And I say this as someone who enjoyed Columbo. Next you'll tell me how iconic Andy Griffith was, playing the same guy in 95% of his career.
Safe and effective

>>215858993>Go watch Mikey and Nicky.Feminist nonsense about toxic masculinity
RIP Nakadai-san.Even if I didn't know he was still around, it doesn’t make it any less tragic. Harakiri is an amazing film.

>>215848082F. I won't claim I was aware that he was still alive. Japan lost an all-time great.
>>215848082I love how this dude basically has a catchphrase in Harakiri where he groans in faux disappointment every time they cannot produce someone to be his second

>>215859383u right I deleted it
>>215848082RIP to Sally Kirkland
>>215857236I disliked Kubi because despite explicitly being a film about how the set dressing, art direction, costuming, lighting ,etc of the Taiga dramas have gone to shit in the digital/cgi era: the film doesn't hold a candle to the production quality of the old post war masters.It looks better than modern utter garbage infecting Japanese tv. That's the nicest thing I can say.

A Sydney Sweeney thread died for this
>>215859512This post >>215849223 was literally before the sticky you lying faggot.
Tatsuya Nakadai is a man I discovered over 20 years ago. He was the only actor I ever idolized, honestly. I've watched all his interviews too. He was awesome. What a talented and intelligent guy. In honor of this day, I will be sharing Jigokuhen (Hell Screen/or A Potrait of Hell), my favorite film of his. This is my personal file. Enjoy.https://gofile.io/d/XHiNJOLet us be happy that he left us so many great films to enjoy for the rest of our own lives.REST IN ETERNAL FAME SIR.

There goes one of the best actors of all times
>>215849223>>215850536>>215853731>>215856146>>215857526From what I've noticed about the japs, male and female, they seem to want the best of both worlds with masculinity and beauty all in one. A lot of that asian masculinity by the japs unironically go into their sports faggotry. If I had to guess a lot of this preference has to do with pic related, Shohei Ohtani, some random jap baseball player that is doing super human shit in america. Now all of the japanese youths want to do sports, and the japs are already doing well in other sports like boxing and kickboxing where their fighters are heeming europeans, mexicans, seajeets, other asian gooks, and americans. There are some that look nakadai such as hiroshi abe but I expect more of the masculinity to be in their sports soon, especially in baseball, mma, and footy.

Half his movies have <250 views on imdb. Some have 20 or less.Why does this guy get a sticky but not Dennis Hopper or Peter o'Toole?
>>215848082Rest in Peace. I feel a little proud because I feel like I brought the conversation about Harakiri to /tv/.
>>215859815Sword of Doom is edgy shit for teenboys. Pathetic performative 'seriousness' and 'grit'.>>215859903Otakus are mentally stunted.
>>215859752Nobody cares about China
>>215859921Yeah you know the average otaku is really big into post war Japanese live action actors, they're so over-represented by all those otaku who are surely into that.Every time you guys come out to complain about a "problem" you just out yourselves as having a weird generalized hateboner for nippon that lives rent free in your head.
>>215859921otakus are people into anime and manga, chang
>>215859903Who the fuck uses imdb in 2025?
>>215859906Nigger you are retarded to think people didnt mostly find out about it on /tv/ and in general because of Criterion.
>>215859986It's become this weird culture war thing where there's a bunch of amerimutts who know they're supposed to hate Japan but can't articulate why
>>215860036whats the zoomer equivalent? letterboxd?
>>215860070I guess. I use Letterboxd for general info, and for more background on the films (production, themes, etc.) I just google it and find random articles, blog posts, director interviews, etc.But IMDb is just totally useless
>>215860063Leftists hate Japan cause online Nazis are weaboos. They have this whole obsession about how every single woman in Japan gets raped while they demand importing 800 gorillion rapists from Africa. Also they are mad the Japanese put commies into blenders during WW2 and are a race of chuds (supposedly).

>>215860121>The Human Condition part IIISo is it one film or three? Should it be treated as a single work or a trilogy?
>>215859921>Pathetic performative 'seriousness' and 'grit'.What a retarded fucking "argument." What about Ryunosuke's disposition is in any way performative that couldn't be applied to literally any other period samurai film or a western with an anti-hero? The movie is about how his one pride in life is feeling superior in swordsmanship. The moment that faith is shaken even a bit, he abandons his pursuit of seeming invincibility, and then all of his sins catch up to him at once. Even when you ignore that it was supposed to be a trilogy, SoD is pretty much self-contained and works as a showcase of Ryunosuke's demented vanity. What about it is edgy? At what point did the movie even remotely imply that he is anything but a sociopath?
>>215860169Single. But all 3 human condition films are in the top 20 lol
>>215859903>Dennis Hopper or Peter o'TooleWho?
>>215860203Dennis Hopper made the western Kid Blue, no clue who the other guy is
>>215860179I will be honest with you, anon, I caught that flick on TV 10 years ago and I don't remember much of it. Anyhow. Made you reply LOL!

Toyota Nisan is dead?
>>215851206Didn't Spielberg and Scorcese help him do Ran?
>>215860112Maybe yesteryear, as online stormfags became browner their obsession with anime and trannies made them switch to hating anime. What a weird fucking world
>>215860315coppola and george lucas convinced 20th century fox to help fund kagemusha

>>215860315No? What gave you that idea? Scorsese had a role in Dreams which is right after Ran.
>>215860315They helped him in Dreams with money, directing a few scenes and cameos (at least Scorcese iirc).

>>215860353>>215860373I distinctly remember a picture of Kurosawa with Spielberg. Posted here in /tv/
One of the best guys in the Japanese industry. Fuckin' legend, his is one of the best filmographies in cinema historyRest in peace
yet another legend dies...
Seppuku is kino of the highest caliber. His work in that movie is outstanding.
>>215860962He handed him his honorary Oscar.
>>215858176I grew up poor and didn't go to University, but I do go to Japan almost annually because I worked my ass off and worked my way up, both things can be true.
why are /tv/ zoomoid niggers allergic to good films?
>>215858643We've still got Hiroshi Abe
>>215860962With Spielberg and George Lucas. The video from Japan of friends and colleagues congratulating him included Ishiro Honda, the director of Godzilla and most of Toho's kaiju films of the 50's and 60's.
>>215861174He's done nothing since Koreeda started shitting the bed
>>215861220He's got five credits for just 2025 alone.
HE WAS STILL ALIVE!Fuck it, F. Harakiri is GOAT>Yes, I wonder why those three stooges are not at the royal court today, how funny hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe
>>215861259Every Japanese actor stars in 250 movies a year but none of them are good usually since 95% are cheap manga or anime adaptations
>>215848082I thought that picture was Toshiro Mifune and I was like didn't that nigga die ages ago lol I don't know who this guy is desu, but looking up pictures of him, he seems to have turned Br*tish later in life
>>215849223It's literally just hair.They don't have facial hair and their hair styles are gay now.
>>215848082Those were the good days before the media got turned into a psyop to brainwash the people into gay pedophiles so they can't run for office and run the country.
Rest in Peace Legend.
>>215848082easily one of the greatest actors of all time, perhaps the greatest.rip to a real nigga, loved listening to his interviews, he was so thoughtful, nice and intelligent
>>215848656>>215848752There's also Kanopy, a streaming service you can log onto using your library card.
>>215861521this nigga knows what's up. Kanopy has so much kino on there it's crazy
>>215848082Take that costume off boy and KNEEL to a real WARRIOR
>>215858360Even if you remove shorts and documentaries it's a lot for a guy who refereed theatre work. I guess most are small parts in the beginning of his career.
>>215861470how high does tetsuya nakadai rank for greatest actors?
>>215861661In Asia, Nr. 1
>>215861577WE
>>215861661>>215861692The only Japanese actor I'd put above him is Takashi Shimura, who's genuinely one of the greatest actors to ever live, regardless of nationality.
>>215861154because zoomniggers don't watch bw films unc
>>215848082RIP *samurai bow*
>watched harakiri for the first time just this weekendspooky
>>215848082Legend. Fly high.
>>2158616611
just watched portrait of hell as suggested by the resident japanese films expert. it was fucking KINO
>>215861661if you were to ask me that question yesterday, i would have said that hes the greatest living actor
Criterionbros we are eating good tonight
>>215861661very high, he has one of the best bodies of work in the history of acting, there's something to be said for actors that not only have legendary performances, but also legendary performances in legendary films.>>215861752i utterly adore shimura, he had the ability to convey pathos and vulnerability like no other, the only knock i'd had is that after a certain point he ends up in too many bit roles where he can't stretch his acting muscles.
よくやりました侍
>>215848082Unironically who?
>>215860070ran is still my fav tatsuya nakadai film
Watching this tonight knowing it might make me cry
RIP an absolute legend
>>215850536>Feminism and Modernity making those males less marketableits the birth control
>>215862191It nearly made me cry when I watched it a year ago. I can imagine the feels.
>>215861661I legit think he might be number 1. It took me a long time to realize how great he was because he was SO good i didnt even recognize him half the time
>>215860373This indirectly led to Ran because Kurosawa's career was basically over in Japan before that and there was no way he'd get that kind of budget.
>Japanese acting
>>215862593Same here
>>215853045they're both great in their fields, but incredibly different. jackie is a master stunt man
>>215862652The Japanese really hated him for some reason and the critics in Japan didn't rate Ran as high as the West did
>>215848082Today I learned Toshirō Mifune and Tatsuya Nakadai are different people
>>215862593He was even in Belladonna of Sadness
>>215859772>other sports like boxing and kickboxinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx0OWE46Rw8this is not true
>>215862817He was in the tale of princes Kaguya as well.
Is it true we wouldn't have Star Wars if not for him?
>>215862950good bait
>>215862945>>215862817Anon, those are cartoons.
>>215861661He's my favourite actor of all time.
>>215861661Every other reply to this is the same person
Tatsuya Nakadai more like Tatsuya NakaDie lol
>>215863124oh no
>>215862801>The Japanese really hated him for some reasonIt's because Kurosawa pulled more of his filmmaking cues from American filmmakers like John Ford than he did from fellow Japanese, there's a reason his films like Yojimbo and Seven Samurai were easily adapted into Westerns.
>>215848082Rest in peace, one of the cool men.'Harakiri' is a great film and he is great in it.
>>215848082F legend
>>215863196this. also the industry was mostly leftist at the time and they viewed him as somewhat of a fence-sitter
>>215850980Not streaming anywhere.
>>215863291His films are definitely political, just not in an overt way like Kobayashi's films were (Human Condition, Harakiri).
>>215863319well i found it
>>215863319It's streaming on Criterion, most of his classic films with Kurosawa and Kobayashi are.
>>215862801>the critics in Japan didn't rate Ran as high as the West didUhhh, do you think this migbt have something to do with western studios pouring shitloads of money to the film? The press is embedded.
>>215863358I agree. But his work is still much more nuanced compared to Kobayashi's or Honda's
>>215863477They didn't start doing that until after Kurosawa's slump in the late-60's and 70's, Kagemusha and Ran were both made in the 80's.
>>215861316Not only was he still alive he was like Shatner, his mind was still sharp and he was still giving interviews up until this year. It's a bummer he died of Pneumonia he still had some good years left before senility.
>>215863477No I don't
>>215863528>It's a bummer he died of Pneumonia he still had some good years left before senility.Shit like this makes me terrified of being old, still being sharp and of sound mind, and then your body just fails you.
>>215863578better to die that way then develop Alzheimer's and become a vegetable
>>215863578>>215863528It's much better that way. You held your intelligence, lived 80-90 years and die after a short illness. It's pretty much the perfect way to go.Much much better than spending your last 10-20 as a senile moron or going through some long detoriating phiaycal illness.
most 90 year olds i've seen look like they're seconds away from entering a coffinlooked surprisingly healthy
>>215848082I will watch Harakiri this weekend in his honor.
>>215848082rip
>>215849223They want twinks and nothing else. Snag tooth weirdos.
>>215850536>Feminism and Modernity making those males less marketableTheir most famous actors all look manly as fuck though.
>>215863827Twentysomethings feel cultural pressure to look like that, middle aged guys and older aren't and don't care.
>>215850536fujoshi's have always existed. women in the edo period were rubbing their clams to nobunaga and mori ranmaru erotica
>>215863868No different than in Hollywood. Classic Hollwyood stars were guys like Bogart, John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Robert Mitchum etc, now we have Timothee Chalamet.
RIP nigga
>>215848082rip recently saw a few of his. great lad
who?
>>215863939Truly the worst timeline. I would pay good money to watch a Lee Marvin type actor today.
im trying to download his filmography but i cant find sites that have the movies, where should i go
>>215848082Rest In Peace, my Lord.
>>215863974We've got guys like Josh Brolin and Michael Shannon still, but they're obviously not going to be in the same types of roles as a twink like Chalamet is being offered.
;_;
>>215864077Those guys are now regulated to "character actors", Brolins dad was a bonafide star.
>>215861771to be frank i'm a zoomoid and 90% of the films i watch are bwi genuinely don't understand the thought process of people who are turned off by bw. something like harakiri looks infinitely better by making genius use of contrast, exposure, lighting tricks etc. than any shitty digital camera hollywood slop with 0 thought given to cinematography and art direction
KOKORO
>>215864269im a zoomer too (27)95+% of our peers dont watch BW shit lol
RIPThe only movie I've seen with him is Yojimbo. Which ones should I watch?
>>215858740Just like my animes!
>only 1000 posts/tv/ - Television & Film is ded
>>215864449Harakiri, Ran, Kagemusha, Sword of Doom, Goyokin, the Human Condition trilogy

>>215848082I do not think I hae seen many Japaneseclassics except the older Godzilla films and maybe an Akira Kurosawq film or two, but may Tatsuya Nakadai rest in peace for bringing plenty of Samurai movies to life.Oh wait, I just checked with Google and it turns out he was in Kurosawa's Kagemusha about the thief who impersonates a Japanese noble. That was a good movie and I had to watch it for an East Asian history class.
>>215849052no it isn't actually, it's heroic
>>215849179I bought High & Low on Blu-Ray a while back to check some modern set Kurosawa. I still haven't watched it. I actually forgot and bought it again during another sale. I was gonna return it, but thoughtbto give it to a friend. Then I saw his movie shelf and saw he had it.

>>215866747>>215848656bro just learn to torrent, you can access any film ever except things out in cinemas for the last 2 or 3 months with subtitles if needed all for free foreveri dont wanna use the give the man a fish or teach him how to fish analogy cuz its ass but here it applies very accurately
I could have sworn he had starred in Fires on the Plain but turns out that was Eji Funakishi who sort of resembled him a bit.
>>215867205Saying just learn to torrent isn't teaching anyone to fish. The knowledge is extremely gatekept (for good reason). But if you didn't get in on it back in the day when people were freely sharing it is much much more difficult now.
Literally who
>>215863939whatever happened to Gary Cooper
>>215867283>Saying just learn to torrent isn't teaching anyone to fishwe agree on one thing at least.there's multiple videos on youtube which makes it way easier than it was back in 2007/8 when i learned by trial and erroryou just gotta get familiar with the client and use ext.to to find what you're looking for
>>215848082Respect.
>>215848082DAMN! Is that 537 (five hundred and thirty seven?????!?!) posts in just under 24 hours????HOLY MOLY! That's really clogging up the catalogue! Good thing you made this sticky or we'd have had ONE ENTIRE THREAD about this FUCKING NOBODY.SO GLAD the blobmods aren't LITERALLY FUCKING REDDIT and just make a sticky for HEHE I MADE A STICKY HEHEH INTERNET ATTENTION HEHE UPDOOTS TO MY CUNT. Wow. Great job with this sticky, you really saved the board from being clogged up with one singular thread about this literally fucking who. HOLA REDDIT!OOOoooOoooOOOoOooooOoOOOoOoOOO
>>215867583The board was being clogged up yesterday before the mods stickied.
Why is Japanese acting so bad now?
>>215867583/tv/ niggas when you care about television or film.
RIP to a real one. Incredible talent.
>>215867583Fuck you faggot I came here to post about this
“On my way from my home near Shibuya Station to meet a friend, an air raid siren sounded around the area past Aoyama Gakuin. Incendiary bombs came raining down. While fleeing, I searched for a place to hide. Then, I saw a girl of about six years old standing there in a daze. I grabbed her hand and ran for dear life. At some point, I suddenly felt the hand go light. When I looked, only her left arm was in my grasp. An incendiary bomb had hit her directly, blowing her body away. I was so shocked that I instinctively let go of the arm and ran. I should have given it a proper burial... The regret of abandoning that child lingers with me to this day. Even in the scene where the child dies in ‘The Liverhearted Mother and Her Children,’ that girl crosses my mind. War is a cruel thing. When I die, I want to say, ‘No to war!’ and pass on.”(Akahata Sunday Edition, January 7, 2018 issue)
>>215868049How does a bomb land literally a foot away from you and do no damage to you? I find it hard to believe this story.
>>215868049how did he not notice and survive a blast that close to him
>>215848082Honestly I didn't even realize he was a different guy than Toshiro Mifune.
>>215868113>>215868101icendiary bombs dont explode.
>>215868131Yeah they just shot out napalm and other fuels in every direction. But sure he totally didn't get burned even though it landed in touching distance from him. Didn't even feel the shock of the impact lol.
>>215868181https://youtu.be/YVvx9jQ5FcM?si=EU_ZBzz1wBWbzIrkdoes this look like a guy who will make shit up? he lived thru WW2 Japan. it's not am impossible story.
>>215868201I'm not saying he is lying but he was in a panic running for his life and didn't even see what hit her. It was probably just a chunk of shrapnel from any number of things. Sorry but I'm just not going to buy that a fucking bomb dropped from a plane landing 6 inches away from you isn't going to kill or even hurt you.
>>215868101Mutts haven't suffered real war in more than a century so it's obvious they would not understand the nuances of ordinance falling onto civilians
>>215868252Who knows. He was also like 10 or 12 years old at the time...
RIP. He gave us so many fantastic roles over the years. Kaji is one of my favorite characters, and performances of all time
>>215867424He was gay, Gary Cooper?
So what's just one film of his I should absolutely see?
>>215868651Harakiri
>>215848082RIP Really sad.
>>215848082He was my inspiration.
彼が病気だったことすら知らなかった。RIP.
>>215849289It's a line ripped from Musashi.
>>215868830I didn't even know he was ill?
>>215849313I just finished my Chinese, Korean and Japanese backlog this and have this left.
Please, non schizo responses. But the Japs from all those movies were pretty cool. They have great beard and were masculine as fuck. But current Japs can't even grow a decent beard. Just see them. Their cute faces are faces that have not experienced a blade. And as I said, they have cute faces. They're not masculine. What the hell happened?
>>215848082I don't know who this guy is, but he seems like a chad and he looks like a chad. Thrive in Heaven, Tatsuya Nakadai.
>>215848082>>215853475>>215853669>>215857612This nigga's body of work is stacked as fuck, it seems unfathomable.
>>215849223jomonchads being outbred by yayoifags
>>215869262As with every other media, you want to make money means you have to appeal to a wider audience. This means appealing to young people because they have the most amount of time.Further more, topics like war, love, loss and changing of times appeal way more to older audience. Again, some young people might enjoy these, but you're more likely going to be successful with a topic like ... highschool life and love because that's the entirety of every young adult's life and it's very difficult to find another topic.(There's also the homogenization of morality due to needing to create movies for a global audience, which makes every movie that comes out feeling the same)
Damn, I just watched Kwaidan for Halloween.
I'm not too much of a weeb to care about who this is.
>>215869631Weebs aren't even into japanese cinema or watched any piece of media before the 90's, go act like a retard somewhere else.
>>215848082I rarely take part in these post-mortem threads, but this is truly a loss.Without a doubt one of my favourite Japanese actors, surprised he lived this long!
>>215858360>>215861618I'm Tatsuya's top guy...
>>215853489HE WAS AN ACTOR OF JAPAN!
>>215854773A type of powerful sword thrust
>>215868700Been meaning to re-watch this later, but fuck it. Putting it on now.
>>215848082literally nobody knew this guy was still alive
>>215870749I did
>>215848082actual legend RIP
>>215849403wow dude super awesome! you like stealing from others so they can't provide for their families... congrats i guess??
RIP, easily my favorite actor, what a fantastic filmography.
RIP old man
>>215856963Because he was independent, very rare in the Japanese studio system. It was less money but he could work with whoever he wanted.
>>215868289Who's Kaji?
>>215858581>>215858612Am I seriously the only who sees this? Feels like I'm going insane here
Just watched Sword of Doom and it was so kino. The ending was weird though, I was expecting a duel between Ryunosuke and Hyoma
>>215848082Literally who?
>>215848082Finally dead, may he rest in peace.
>>215864953I love Kagemusha, for some reason the scene where a castle guard explains the setup that allowed him to snipe the enemy commander at night lives rent free in my head.
>>215871501it was intended to be part of a trilogyif you watch Satan's Sword 1-3 you'll get the storySatan's Sword 1 is inferior to Sword of Doom, of course (and these shitty title westernizations really make me mad), but you can use your imagination
>>215848082F ;_;7
>>215854803thought this was a city by the thumbnail
>>215872304A kaiju movie but the kaiju is a samurai from the Edo period...
>>215848082Sleep tight cool samurai, o7
>>215848082VAXX STATUS??
>>215871470Knowing how Jodorowsky is, I'm sure it was completely intentional. El Topo is basically the Western version of the ronin archetype anyway.
>>215858612>>215871470>>215872495Wasn't the rape in El Topo was real?
>>215850938Yeah, he was 53 in the movie so they made him look older. Was still surprised to see he was still alive when I looked up the cast after watching it a few months ago. RIP
I wonder how Tarantino and Scorsese feeling about this.
>>215850938>>215872563Why didn't Kurosawa cast Mifune for this film? He was older and would've drawn more at the Box Office for a big budget film like this one.
>>215872063The nightmare scene was absolute kino, unironically one of the most memorable scene I saw in any film.
>>215872647Kurosawa and Mifune had a falling out during Red Beard and never worked together again. They reconciled at Ishiro Honda's (the director of Godzilla) funeral.
>>215872647He was retired from major roles by then and his relationship with Kurosawa was kinda shaky anyway
I wonder how /tv/ would react if Kurosawa, Ozu or Kobayashi recently, everyone here was clowning on Goddard when it was revealed he died from doctor assisted suicide.
>>215865689Happy New Year 2011
>>215872836>everyone here was clowning on Goddard when it was revealed he died from doctor assisted suicide.>Godard's legal advisor said that he had "multiple disabling pathologies",but a family member said that "He was not sick, he was simply exhausted".Lol what a fucking bitch. I could understand if he had terminal cancer or something, but "I'm tired"? Fuck outta here
>pinnedFuck off with this weeb shit.
>>215856555Seeing Machiko's nipples in this moviemade me happy.
watched harakiri, watched portait of hell, now watching ran. will go back and watch plenty more kino with this kino machine
Watching Ran as a teenager made me realize I'd never become a successful director.F
>>215872836>everyone here was clowning on Goddard when it was revealed he died from doctor assisted suicide.It was in-character with his superficial, soulless filmography.
>>215868101the type of incediary bombs the us used were cluster warheads that dispersed tons of these hexagonal containers filled with napalm and had time fuses that were designed to project the burning filler upwards instead of out in a burst. it's not impossible that a bomblet with a dud or delayed fuse could've smacked a person right next to him without killing him.however given how malleable and unreliable memory is in situations like that, let alone decades later, it being some kind of burning debris is probably more likely
>>215858733Is he Rentarō Mikuni?
>>215862851norman will heem haney too>>215865647dumb faggot, the japanese are good at both boxing and kickboxing
>>215873449Yes, also an amazing actor. His best role is probably Coup d'Etat
>>215873094Yeah, pure coomkino. It comes so out of nowhere>>215872719I remember reading Honda and Kurosawa had a feud over their class backgrounds but can't find info about it now. Maybe I misremember
all the people who have actually experienced life to the highest possible degree in the 20th century are dying offtheir replacements are people who have only ever known digital screens and lead boring, unfulfilling livesthe effect this has on our societies is incalculably terrible
>>215873587I got this same exact feeling when I heard Nakadai died but couldn't put it into words. The 20th century is fading and now it's all soulless screen shit. Even worse with AI, authenticity is going down the shitter
>>215858307What does the suffix -suke mean in Japanese?
>>215873536I like ATG so I'll check it out.
>>215873657>In Japanese, suke (助) means "help," "assistant," or "support" and is often used as a name suffix, a part of old government titles, or in words like tasukeru (to help). It is sometimes seen as a feminine name, though it was traditionally more common in masculine names. Thanks google ai!
>>215861076Are you petite-bourgeoisie? You sound like petite-bourgeoisie?
>>215873694Fuck your mother
Why is this board so obsessed with Japan?
>>215873744Japan has soul and sincerity instead of ironic quips.
>>215873744I think it was Hiro's idea to sticky this
posting in the sticky thread
>>215873744why are you?
Never heard of this yellow nip
>>215874014He looks more like a grey nip, those movies have no color
Were him and Mifune buddies? I wonder if he did commented Mifune's death prior.
>>215848082fugggggg I just looked this guy up last month to see if he was still aliveF
Sword of Doom has such a KINO ending, the fucking last shot is KINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>215873093weebs don't watch japanese cinemai am 100% certain not a single person on /a/ knows who nakadai is
Just started Sword of Doom. Why does the old man petrify at the command to "look to the west"? Does it have japanese or buddhist significance in relation to death, the west? Oh, is it like the sun setting?
Hope they give him a skin in Fornite to honor this moment
>>215873587this, a horrific future awaits us in this oblivion of culture.
>>215874697And what does "kith" mean?Oh he definitely fucked Hama
>>215874697I guess it's related to sukhavati, also called the western heaven in Chinese Buddhist (due to the origin place of Buddhism coming from the west of China)
>>215874815close friends and neighbors iirc
>>215867283it's really easy if you know some Russian thoiugh
Goodbye, my king
>>215848082rest in peace
>>215874269>Were him and Mifune buddies?They seemed to get along well enough when they worked together. I never got the sense Mifune really hung out with other actors outside of work though.
>>215874828>>215874849Arigato*bows*
>>215859906I talking about RAN on /tv/ when you were still watching Transformers
>>2158753434chan didn't exist back then
>>215875343The live action Transformers.
>>215875402/tv/ didn't exist then
>>215875407But /tv/ did exist then.
I wonder if there is anybody browsing the thread who can tell me what the silent form of an attack in Ittoryu is
>>215875469it's attacking without giving away your intent
/tv/A long time ago, I gave you Harakiri.Yesterday you repaid me the favour by teaching me The Sword of Doom.It is fucking stokingAccept my gratitude>>215875492Accept my gratitude as well
>>215848082Ngl just from how old the movies were I had assumed he had already passed away.
>>215848082finally the fucking sticky for god sake, fire the european time mods and jannies
>>215868123one of the annoying things about japanese movies is not being able to tell them apart .
>>215875960Isn't that terribly racist?
>>215876020>>215875960All the whites look the same too.
>>215876057Christopher Lambert and...?
>study the soul, to know the sword
whoa,Whoa, Whoa,WHOAWhat was that ending??? An all-consuming fire and fight. Whether he lives or dies was not important. An analogy for all the samurai?All the shinsengumi died with him in the same battle as well
I had no idea Toshiro Mifune played Shimada
>>215848082rip Yojimbotrying to find that one scene where he's quickly dispatching a group of people, but then has to destroy more of the building to make it seem like more of a struggle
>>215848082Smack my bare bottom red raw in the holocaust museum.
>>215848082Rest In Peace.
>>215848082YWNBAsian
holy shit F
>>215873744It's the white Wakanda.
>>215848082Rest in peace you absolute king
>>215849223Japan has a huge problem with micro plastics and a complete lack of pushing for red meat consumption and weight lifting for teenage boys.
>>215848082Toasting in a sticky breadF
>>215856642where do you even find this movie
>>215858579>He looks like every 80 yr old California liberal.why would I know how mutts look like lmao
>>215861661as far as the actor who has been in the most good shit, he's probably number one. I don't know, who even comes close? De Niro?
>>215876785If anything Japan has way more access to red meats now than they ever have.
>>215876063The Punisher
literally who?
I remember my jap godfather's favorite actor was him. Dude would mention him nonstop and I can see why. One of the finest actors I've seen outside Hollywood. RIP to the most Kino actor of Japan.
>>215876940I think I found it on VK, or maybe it was archive.org, idk
>>215856642>The Beast Shall DieHey, I have that film
>>215877672i looked it up on archive and I cant find it
>>215877841>>215877672just google the title and go to the videos tab bro
>>215877852one of my favorite movies
>>215856642>"The Beast Shall Die" (1959) stars Tatsuya Nakadai as a poor post-graduate literature student with psychopathic tendencies. He uses various schemes to extort money from his university & kills people without remorse, to fulfill his dream of moving to the USA.kino
>>215878003Literature students are always the worstt. lit major
>not a sticky anymoreFor my money, the thread should've been kept alive for a whole week, but RIP to Tatsuya and RIP to the thread.
