Came here to say this. I love everything I’ve seen by him but this is one of my favorite movies ever.

Ran and Rashomon goat

The paintings were needed because he was going blind when he made the film which insane given it's one of the most stunning films ever made. Those paintings are so hard

"Doesnt get enough credit"

Yojimbo is the s*** honestly. Feels like Kurosawa's take on a cozy Western

"Star Wars and Wes Anderson should run synonymous with Akira Kurosawa" is equally funny

It's like the thread is a portal to Reddit

I don't think anybody wanna see mfers comparing mayo ass Wes to Kurosawa

i like wes but

GOAT nothing else need to be said

Gorgeous film

Guess I'm just surrounded amongst ppl who are more into box office films then the actual artists themselves.

the most famous and lionized eastern filmmaker of all time is underrated

Throne Of Blood the zenith

after growing up obsessed with Wu Tang and then getting more into cinema when i was a bit older made me do some research on the samurai/kung fu films RZA was sampling, which led me to reading about Kurosawa a little bit (didnt have internet or a library full of books on film yet) and saw the Criterion Kurosawa dvd set (had never heard of them) and said f***it and got my friend with an amazon account to order it for me

Seven Samurai didnt do it for me at all but Throne Of Blood was life changing (Lower Depths and Hidden Fortress also hit). First foreign films i had ever seen and after getting a few good cinema books and reading more about these Criterion guys i never looked back thanks rza.

Just watched Dreams, absolutely splendid.

The battle sequencing/formations in Ran hard body. Some of those calvalry shots

Just watched “the quiet duel”
What an amazing movie

And to think I haven’t gotten into his most famous films

Gotta watch this
