Robert Altman on Rashomon

[@thenout]

Rashomon practically exploded on the internation cinema scene after winning the Venice Film Festival in 1951 and went on to revolutionize cinema altogehter, for reasons mapped out by Altman here, very much like what Pulp Fiction did in the 90s in regards to breaking conventions in storytelling and whatnot. Thanks for this snippet, James!

How dare you compared the piece of shit Pulp Fiction to Rashomon!!! ????? You serious???? Not even in the same sphere!!!! Sheesh!

[@thenout]

I'm not talking about the quality of the films dude, just the impact they had on cinema. Get your head outta your ass, sheesh!. @@TheOtherKine

[@eamonsherry2185]

Calm down champ. They’re only movies.

[@TheOtherKine]

@@thenout There was no quality in Pulp Fiction. Sheesh!

Rashomon is perhaps the most intriguing of Kurosawa 's films. The choice of the ramshackle house, the bright sunlight drenching some of the exterior scenes, the structure of script and story combine to create a haunted, ravaged effect in this film. A pall hangs over the movie. An eerieness . The movie is in a sense a philosophical movie about crime. it isn't a crime film per se but a crime does take place. Screenwriting is often said to be about What Happens Next? Well Roshomon is a film that is about What Happens?

This is the show if you are a film guy

@galacticwarlock2271 Yeah I love these videos. They are great.

[@elichilton7031]

One of the cinematic masterpieces of the 20th Century.

[@henmat3000]

I fucking love your videos! So cool.

[@The_0.5.0]

Watched this movie for the first time last year (Im 36). This film absolutely blew me away.

The two short stories by Akutagawa that this film is based on are recommended for any of its admirers

[@ratfinkie62]

I worked on a play version of ‘Rashomon’. It held up well.

[@kendalson7100]

Throne of Blood is amazing but this looks good too. Kurosawa photographed things so beautifully.

[@robinsandquist]

Just saw Rashomon the other day, fascinating film - love the Medium character! Still prefer Ikiru, Ran and Seven Samurai of the Kurosawa films I've seen so far - but they've all been great!

[@WarWorksProductions]

Beautiful

[@carlosbaja678]

Altman looks like Richard Kuklinski the Ice Man Assassin

[@nin114]

lol. just rewatched that doc. not recommended when you are sick with a flu!

[@carlosbaja678]

@DioscuriDuality I love Robert Altman and don't wish to disparage him, I was just confused when I saw the thumbnail.

[@carlosbaja678]

@@nin114 Did you have the flu or did the Iceman get you with his cyanide nebulizer?

[@alexmac337]

I always associate Kurosawa with rain.
