How Kurosawa Creates Perfect Blocking

[@JustOneMoreThing_YT]

Which director’s style would you love to see broken down like this? Any particular scene or film that’s stuck with you?

[@haydensewall2537]

Spielberg has amazing blocking and staging (but he learned it all from Kurosawa!)

[@willtobias5280]

It'd be interesting to see Bergman or Tarkovsky covered

[@JustOneMoreThing_YT]

@@willtobias5280 I love both, especially Bergman, so thanks for the tip!

[@LongyTV]

Coen Brothers.

[@nl3064]

Jim Jarmusch - either Stranger Than Paradise, Down By Law or Dead Man.

[@sooryakrishna4302]

High and Low is a great example of timeless filmmaking and a masterclass on interesting storytelling. What's even better about the movie is that one never notices these nuances while watching the movie and are completely engaged in what is transpiring. What a brilliant puppet master he was.. One of my favourite Kurosawa movies...

[@FallenKnight2244]

Saw this in cinema recently in 4K restoration. It was glorious.

[@exhaustpipes]

High and Low is my favorite Kurosawa film!!!!

[@rabendranath]

I agree! It's my favorite Kurosawa as well 👍 Although there's many others to choose from! His career was so extensive and varied. Throne of Blood is another favorite of mine.

[@muhammadsamiul7182]

Mine too

[@JustOneMoreThing_YT]

@@rabendranath Throne of Blood is and underrated gem.

[@rabendranath]

@@JustOneMoreThing_YT I agree my friend! Cheers 👍

[@elijahalbiston]

Interestingly, Spike Lee is remaking it and it's set to release as his next film. I wonder how he'll approach the blocking and will he make it as well as Kurosawa?

[@haydensewall2537]

I love your way of pointing out the composition with colors and lines. It’s really helpful - I’ve studied this movie before, but the efficiency and clarity of your presentation really made me love the movie more.

[@DirkHagen]

Great work my man; really impressive! Thank you for sharing!

[@philipcluff8170]

So glad to see this masterpiece getting it’s due credit! Awesome video, keep it up!!

[@mtlee8977]

Thank you for making this. Expect more about Kuroswa.

[@austinrhoads]

I love this film. You did such a wonderful job of dissecting his composition.

[@kshitijsrivastava6440]

To learn blocking, one has to watch Kurosawa movies. Nobody did that better than him

[@MoriohAnime]

I love High and Low, it’s such a great film.

[@CosmicSamosaFilms]

Yes!!!! This is an awesome video!!!!

[@lefluide]

Ohhh god i loooooooove your montage

[@TheBlackBox_YouTube]

You're cooking bro 🔥 Easily the best film channel right now

[@JustOneMoreThing_YT]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@arsenaltg1]

23k subs… I have a feeling this channel is gonna be huge. Incredible attention to detail within both the analysis and the edit itself. High and Low is amazing, would love more Kurosawa on the channel, maybe Ikiru

[@JustOneMoreThing_YT]

Thanks for the kind words, he is one of my favorite directors, so I'd love to make more videos about his films.

[@remydamiani2272]

Im gonna come back to this, but just the explanation made me go need to watch this RIGHT MOW

[@mercurious6699]

very valuable analysis, thank you

[@antics562]

Damn great video Def adding this movie to the list now

[@zapillofilms]

What a superb analysis! Congratulations. I love this film, watched it this year for the first time and I am still amazed. Incredible blocking, Kurosawa genius

[@TheRulerRoderickSutton]

Where did you find the behind the scenes material?? I would really love to look at it!

[@jarypomponi7035]

Very nice analysis. I just want to add that, in my opinion, the movie is clearly divided into three acts: Paradise, Purgatory, and Hell; everything in each act change to reflect this intention, as pointed out by Donald Richie. PS the English translation, and many others, for this movie is a crime...

[@libertyfilm4096]

👍👌 very good

[@willtobias5280]

Was this film the basis and inspiration for 'Parasite'

[@Reza_WWH]

I don't know if you will read this comment or not, but I want to write it anyway, many of your videos may not get the attention they deserve, but please don't let this discourage you, because your videos really share a good feeling, even if it's just for one person.

[@JustOneMoreThing_YT]

That's very kind, thank you! I really enjoy making these and I always focus on improving little by little, so even if some videos get less attention I'm grateful that so many people care about them. Especially, when I get encouraging messages like yours, so I really appreciate it. There are a lot of things I'm learning with KZbin, and it's not always easy to balance with other things, but I'm still as motivated as before :)

[@ryancejasnadborny5163]

Buen video amigo

[@mohammedelhajjam3064]

you are amazing

[@deepaksrinivasmondal]

For obvious reasons, I kept thinking of Parasite.

[@antoinepetrov]

Great video with amazing motion graphics! There are a few mistakes in the subtitles which I think it would be nice to correct

[@JustOneMoreThing_YT]

I'll check the subtitles again, thanks for the heads up!

[@rocketmanthebest4697]

Didnt Cinefix already make this Video ?

[@JustOneMoreThing_YT]

Cinefix did a great video on the topic, but this one dives into different scenes and aspects, also High and Low's blocking and visual storytelling is a very common topic among cinephiles and researchers.

[@SaiGade-go9wp]

Yeah, they only focused on 3 moments however

[@lonewolf_58]

Great video... But background music irritating.

[@SillyWillyFan47]

The heir apparent to Every Frame...! Irrasshai!! :D
