And not just Seven Samurai either, this man's career is consistent as hell.

359362, wait until they make the screens smaller
Posted by m, Sun Mar-23-08 03:24 PM
it's meant to be watched on a screen that you have to use a magnifying glass for.

360048, Can we discuss Drunken Angel?
Posted by Anfernee, Wed Mar-26-08 07:10 PM
I love that shit.
Mifune was so gangster in that film.
|
360061, Has Mifune ever not been gangster?
Posted by SepiaSylph, Wed Mar-26-08 07:34 PM
He is high on my list of actors.
|
360077, True, true.
Posted by Anfernee, Wed Mar-26-08 08:23 PM
But I felt him bringing the ruckus on the doctor that just treated him was extra gangsta.
Mifune will always be that dude.

360276, The Quiet Duel
Posted by sl_onIce, Thu Mar-27-08 03:21 PM
Another one with Mifune...I haven't been able to find it either.
|
360321, Red Beard, anyone?
Posted by SepiaSylph, Thu Mar-27-08 04:58 PM
That scene where the women are yelling down the well was really beautiful to me.
And I love how adorably grumpy Mifune is.

Probably my favorite Kurosawa movie, depending on what mood I'm in--it alternates with Ikiru.

Seven Samurai is the most enjoyable film and most perfect film I've ever watched.
Mifune is the most watchable actor I've ever watched. Every time I watch a Mifune flick (especially Yojimbo and Sanjuro - da-da) I walk around like Mifune (complete with hunched-back) for a good couple of hours, looking to out-macho every cunt I meet.
Ikiru is beautiful but very slow moving. Bad starting place for a Kurosawa newcomer. Ran is an amazing looking film, just without the heart of Seven Samurai. Yojimbo and Sanjuro are the best places to start a Kurosawa binge. It's impossible to not enjoy those wild-ass flicks.
Sanjuro has THE GREATEST BATTLE ENDING OF ALL TIME. That shit had me pumped for days after I saw it. Fuck, the battle ending in Yojimbo was great enough...then I saw Sanjuro. Wow.
|
360394, I imitate Mifune too
Posted by SepiaSylph, Thu Mar-27-08 10:15 PM
Only I do the scowl and certain ticks he did whichever movie, like in Rashomon or Sanjuro (remember when he kept trying to sleep? lol)
And yeah, that ending battle get you pumped!
|
360431, What should I check out from Kurosawa that I haven't seen?
Posted by Marauder21, Fri Mar-28-08 08:41 AM
I've seen
Rashomon
Throne of Blood
Yojimbo
Seven Samurai
How is Dreams? I've been meaning to check for that one day.
|
360560, Rashomon, Sanjuro, Red Beard, Kagemusha, Throne of Blood
Posted by SepiaSylph, Fri Mar-28-08 07:54 PM
I highly recommend these five first.

360588, I just watched Seven Samurai....
Posted by PRYM8, Sat Mar-29-08 03:20 AM
... for the first time and OMFG. I loved this film! I had no idea the shit was 3 and a half hours, but it didn't seem like it at all. I will definitely be looking out for more from this director.
