>the best kurowasa's movie isn't about a samurai but about an old man who will die of cancer and thinks how he wasted his life
You must be mistaken, OP
>>216970417All japanese movies before the 2010s are snorefests and you should be imprisoned for watching them.
>>216970417yep, absolute masterpiece
>>216970417>>216970841You're right, a modern day Kurosawa film is his best, but it's not Ikiru or High and Low, it's THE BAD SLEEP WELL.
>>216970417>its just the death of ivan ilyich
>>216970865Stick to your tranime
>>216970959It would have been Sugata Sanshiro if the Japanese government hadnt censored and destroyed part of it.
>>216970417I've been subbing JAV all weekend and I'm pretty sure 'Ikiru' means "I'm cumming buckets!"
>>216970417that movie broke me and rebuilt me. true kino.
>>216970990Same statement (before 2010s = shit) applies to anime as well.
>>216971052It means 'to live' you fucking goonhead.
>>216971094Naaah.
>>216970417boring shitcan't wait for spike lee to adapt it so it's watchable
>>216971593He'd only do that if Tarantino said it was his favorite film.
>>216971593It's already an adaptation of tolstoy, so it wouldn't even be that far fetched
>>216971593Yes, he would be black, and instead of cancer he would know that white people were going to kill him. He would try to make the park but crackers will just throw watermelon at him and call him the n word.
bump
how do i stop wasting my life bros?
>>216972876Find purpose and devote yourself completely to it.That is the message. Didnt you see the movie?
>>216971025what did they censor?
>>216972946no but it looks interesting, i may watch it now
>>216973120Don't. His "purpose" was to build a shitty playground.
>>216973044Parts of him getting in love with a woman and parts of his spiritual awakening. Both essential for the story.It seems that the japs found them to be too 'pacifist'.
>>216973305why are japs like this?
>>216973373It was during ww2. The japs did waaaaaaaaaay worse shit during those years.
>>216972876is it wasting if you like what you domy biggest problem about life is death and how you just disappear forever
>>216973159It was a purpose according with the time he had and his capabilities, so it was a good purpose.
>>216973448> how you just disappear foreverThat is ether not true or not a problem.
>>216973541it is a problem, all your experiences memories will be for nothingi do hope there's an afterlife because if not life is just a big waste
>>216972876control + Q
>>216972876Didn't you watch the movie? Just catch cancer.
>>216973736Done and done!
>>216970417He really went heavy on the SOVL with this one
>>216973865then he went on to create swordslop
>>216970417The third act completely ruins it
>>216973915*clinches
>>216970841>>216970959My two favorites as well
>>216974212*fucking ruins. Everything after he dies is awful
its a well made movie but its boring af
>>216970417Only the office culture is very interesting in the density of details. Shimura who's usually great is too hokey in this performance.
>>216970959Coppola ripped from the wedding ceremony intro
>>216971025It's still SOVLful. Johnie To did a homage Throwdown tho i've yet to see. The lead is like Cavill
>>216974672>they all vow to follow his example and do their jobs to the best of their abilities and make a difference in the world>they all fail to live up to their vowIt's perfection.
>>216970865lay down tiktok and pay more attention, zoomie
>>216970417It's one of the few movies of his i don't like.But i will continue to re-watch it every 5 to 10 years, i have a feeling i will reach a certain age myself where this movie suddenly clicks.
>>216974672why?
>>216974935That's why i can't take this movie seriously. As heavy as it is thematically, the performance/directing doesn't feel appropriate.
>>216970417Great movies in this thread, but Ran was Kurosawa's peak as an artist.
>>216974935>>216975384Filtered. You probably hate his actual best movie, One Wonderful Sunday, too.
>>216975540The stunning visuals in this make an unfair comparison to his black and white works
i think kurosawa sucks
>>216970417I didn't get this movie in college but I loved yojimbo. Is this one of those movies/shows that's 100x better after you've had some life experience?
>>216975328>i have a feeling i will reach a certain age myself where this movie suddenly clicks.I don't think you should wait for such a moment, anon. If it really have to click, it should be now.
>>216975618>Is this one of those movies/shows that's 100x better after you've had some life experience?Exactly.
>>216975612agreed
