[@nealluczkiewicz6846]

It is not so easy as you think underground man. Those who HIGHLIGHT beauty are very important also - which is why TEACHERS are so important. They have the sensibility to MAKE CONNECTIONS and offer their discoveries in a COHERENT WAY. A work of art without someone to indicate that it EXISTS - dies!!! The creative process and the exposition of all art in ANY form must be seen to live. Not everything is "original" - but the appreciation of it - and the particular way it is shown IS original. The person who put this together did a great job!

[@AngelicDemonGirl]

@@nealluczkiewicz6846 he didn't make the art tho? He simply took it and put it in his KZbin channel

[@Blondedmedo]

"Every frame is a painting" is the best description of the way Akira directs films

[@gvivek2968]

Couldn't agree anymore

[@CdFMasterVideo]

Exactly my thought, about...5 seconds into the video at most

[@6EndlessNameless9]

The channel named " Every Frame a Painting" has a great video essay about Kurasowa. Check it out. Personally,I think it's one of the best video essays on KZbin

[@Blondedmedo]

@@6EndlessNameless9 Thanks a lot, man! I've just seen it. One of the best videos that discussess Akira's work definitely

[@darren3443]

0:27 Holy shit, this shot is absolutely beautiful. Every shot here is, but this one is just something else

[@Le_Cinerama]

This has been one of my most anticipated videos ever, and it never disappoints. The fact you were able to compress such a extensive director known for consistently creating some of the most beautiful films into 3 minutes of storytelling, is what I respect from editor like you.

[@gPOSKAS]

I was fortunate to have a Kurosawa class during my film studies in college. It totally opened my eyes to the artistry. He was an absolute master and influence to this day.

[@Lexthebarbarian]

You! Behind this video! You have a deep soul. Arigato Gozaimasu.

[@gokiloki620]

The films of Akira Kurosawa fascinate me because they’re all so different in tone and genre but they all ask the same questions like „What is honor?“, „What does it mean to be mortal?“, „What are we fighting for in this endless battle called life?“ and I think that’s beautiful

[@JustBattleSimulator]

Perfecto

[@Blondedmedo]

This is beautiful. I'm currently in the midst of watching all akira films. What a great timing!

[@aliakhtar_0807]

Can you give me a list, where to start and what sequence?

[@Blondedmedo]

@@aliakhtar_0807 ​I definitly recommend watching them chronologically starting from stray dog, this is where Akira's style becomes visible. There are some films in between not necessary a must watch in your first run that maybe you should watch them if you find yourself awed by Akira's style.

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

Just unbelievable. One of the all time greatest visionaries cinema has ever seen

[@leefrankel4191]

Kurosawa was a great artist on every level.

[@PolychromeAddict]

Thank you for this moment of happiness and wonder. These fleeting images, these scenic flashes, brought back to mind all of Kurosawa's films. Their desperate beauty in the face of a tragic world. Art remains our only recourse against the suffering and meaninglessness of existence. Beauty may not save the world, but it is all we have left to keep us from dying while we're still alive. This little montage made me cry with joy.

[@dong-hotsai5386]

[@mukeshshah2340]

Master class, Akira Kuosawa. And this video maker is proffesional.

[@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947]

It's difficult to find words to praise Kurosawa, as a director he was one of the most authoritative possible and few people think about how influential he is. He is a very special director This video perfectly summarizes this, I wanted more works with your language.

[@wastehazey6468]

Just rewatched Sanjuro. I swear to God dude, every single shot is absolute eye candy, truly a master of the craft

[@ver_y_fun_ny_huma_n]

I had a movie from him called 'peach orchard' to study for a project, And let me tell u it is still one of my fav movies from anyone. Every shot is is well-thought and magnificent it make me think like I am dreaming

[@kotkmapjwba]

Akira Kurosawa, who is known as a sublime Japanese film director. Kurosawa, who won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for "Rashomon" (1950) and was internationally acclaimed for his work on "Seven Samurai," has also provided excellent direction in this film, making it very worthwhile to watch. Kurosawa's many excellent works strongly inspired George Lucas, Spielberg, James Cameron, JJ Abrams and others who were still young at the time, but are now active as prominent directors, and led the world of film, becoming an object of admiration for young directors. Akira Kurosawa is without a doubt a legendary man, and his achievements will never be forgotten.

[@samspencer582]

Kurosawa is the Master and Emperor of cinema. Every frame is a painting.

[@johnrivers3813]

I just watched Ran last night, it was the first in color Kurosawa film I've watched and it was absolutely beautiful. I think spending decades filming in black and white allowed him to nail down the fundamentals so when he was finally able to use color he was able to use it to its full effect. I won't forget that shot, you used it in this; of the man riding horse back towards the camera in a field and there's a ray of sunshine following his path. That's the sort of stuff you can never plan for and when it does happen it's like magic.

[@KazuyaTaki-ui3fv]

The landscape defines the person. Kurosawa expressed this to the fullest. I think he reminds Westerners, who have a tradition of anthropocentrism, of forgotten landscapes. But he was also skillful in portraying people. It is said that Kurosawa respected Ozu. Ozu accurately captured and brilliantly portrayed people who blended into nature. He accomplished what even Kurosawa could not. But ...... Kurosawa is more famous now. Kurosawa's beauty is a proof that he was more concerned with the universality of the landscape than anyone else to the end.

[@ElazarY]

this is without a single doubt your greatest ode to any director on this channel ever. This made me want to rewatch Kurosawa's lineup again, which I will, thanks to you.

[@juliocesarpereira4325]

A beautiful montage using common scenic elements of different Kurosawa's movies. The most suttle passage is the scene where a couple looks at the bright stars in the dark sky and the next scene is of a moving car whose black painted metal body reflects the street lights at night. This is poetic. Thank you.

[@johnradovich8809]

I don’t think it’s possible to pick one director as the best ever. But he has moved me more profoundly and more often than any other.

The scene at 0:53 is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen put to film. It might not seem like anything at first, but after many viewings I believe in that scene alone Kurosawa was able to capture the essence of childhood.
