>first japanese movie>was kinoany japanese movie recommendations?
You can watch the rest of Kobayashi's movies. It's hard to recommend movies that are like his because basically everyone influenced by him in the 60's were communists that bastardized his formula with ideology.
>>220350197ichivisitor q964 pinnochio
I mean... Kurosawa... obviouslyI would start with Rashomon and then watch whatever the hell you like after in whatever order (although watching Yojimbo before Sanjuro is a superior experience)... I personally started with Seven Samurai, but I would recommend this way instead
>>220350664Ignore this dick head. Those are awful, 964 pinnochio is one of the worst movies ever made, and i'm not even being hyperbolic.
>>220350664none of these are remotely similar to OPs movie
>>220350197Saw this as a teenager, at the time I didn't like black and white movies or foreign films. Harakiri was so good I just had to sit there and eat it. Blew me away.
seven samurai is awesomesaw it for the first time this week and I was blow away
>>220350839OP here, same i don't watch black and white movies or foreign films that much, and i don't particularly like them, but Harakiri just kept me hooked all the time and also it looks great visually
>>220351012>seven samurai is awesomeSeven Samurai is overrated. It's my least favorite Kurosawa flick.Watch The Bad Sleep Well.
>>220350197Anything by Shinya Tsukamoto
Ran is a masterpiece Yojimbo is also really good. Anything Kurasawa and Mifune is great
>>220350197Cope, seethe, dilate, and commit hare-krishna.
Sword of Doom is an awesome one. A guy who goes by his own code.
>not a single mention of Tokyo Story
>>220350197The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise.
>>220350664Visitor Q? I didn't like that movie when I watched it in my teens. Maybe I'm wrong. I'll give it a rewatch.

>>220351068you're a moron and a philistine.
I thought High and Low was kind of overrated. The first half is extremely interesting. The second half is a well-made but comparatively much less police procedural. The last five (?) minutes are fantastic though.Great film but I'm surprised people call it Kurosawa's best or one of the best films ever made.
>>220351589>sonatine>lady snowbloodthe only good japanese movies in the modern era.
survive style 5+
>>220351372not even top 5 Ozu
People usually recommend Kurosawa's Edo Period movies, but I think his best are his modern movies (High and Low, Ikiru, Red Beard). High and Low would be my first choice. Masterclass in composition and making the most out of small spaces
>>220350197samurai rebellion, it has the same director too
>>220350197Tatsuya Nakadai was the original choice to play Mr Miyagi in Karate Kid, but at the last minute (((producers))) dropped him for for Pat Morita. They worried Nakadai would make the tone of the film too serious. Retards.

>>220351012>>220351068I agree, it was good, but it's nowhere near his later works
>>220351738High and Low is really fucking good
>>220351738High and Low is Kurosawa showing how he knew how to do noirs too. That guy was one of a kind.

>>220351630>1973 and 1993>modern era
>>220353068Everything after 1965 is 'modern era' in kinematics, pleb.
>>220351358the protagonist of this movie is such an unbelievable piece of shit that ive never forgotten it
>>220353114Sword of Doom is the Berserk of japanese movies. I don't think I've watched anything like it.
>>220350664>ichibased fun movie>964 pinnochioRemember buying it because I couldn't find it online but it kinda sucks, better to rewatch Tetsuo and its sequels
>>220353165ichi is so stupid. what's the appeal on that film? genuinely asking.

>>220350197Black Cat (1968) is good. Generally go for stuff like that or Seven Samurai if you’re just getting in because they’re action movies and easy to follow.
>>220353302Seven Samurai is literally almost 5 hours long. They're not 'action movies and easy to follow', retarded reddit zoomer.
>>220353337Compared to more experimental popular movies like “Face of Another” or anime movies like “Belladonna of Sadness” I’d consider something like Black Cat or 7 samurai entry level.

>>220350197Holy shit, a thread that doesn't have to do with Fag Wars or that mongoloid's Odyssey movie? Take it awayyyyyyy!
>>220351923Toshiro Mifune was also considered, but he was deemed "too scary" LMAOOOOOne of my favorite Hollywood fun facts
check out the movies of Juzo Itami, he was murdered by the yakuza>In 2008, a former member of the Goto-gumi yakuza group told reporter Jake Adelstein: "We set it up to stage his murder as a suicide. We dragged him up to the rooftop and put a gun in his face. We gave him a choice: jump and you might live or stay and we'll blow your face off. He jumped. He didn't live."[21][22] The attack is thought to have been due to the topic of Itami's next film, which was rumored to have been focusing on connections between the Goto-gumi and the cult-like Soka Gakkai religious group.

>>220355511Tampopo and Minbo are both amazing. The latter is what got him killed for its negative depiction of the yakuza.
