He’s one of the few directors that made movies into art. Real art that could change the world. Sadly movie makers stopped making art because they’re more interested in changing the world. They fail to realize only real art can do that.

I disagree. I don't know why when it comes to Japan everyone fetishizes eveything and exaggerates it to all absurdity. Yes, they are good films but they are not that great. There are literally thousands that came before that are much better. And this applies to eveything from Japan. Up until the 20th century the Japanese were worse than the Nazi, for centuries. They murdered millions. Even today they are super racist and xenophobic. Japanese culture is cold and unfriendly. Japanese food is bland and boring. But for some reason there is a culture of ignoring real history, real cultural facts, and fetishizing the Japanese as some sort of cute fictional "pandas" to be elevated above others. It's so absurd. There is nothing wrong with liking Japanese culture but the exaggeration, the lack of any criticism as if they are perfect, just the lack of common sense is ridiculous. And the way simp boys freak out when people like me speak the truth, is childish.

Mifune vs Nakadai in Samurai Rebellion is my favorite samurai duel ever - mostly because of insane psychological tension in the deadly battle between friends. And yes, Seven Samurai is the greatest samurai movie ever made... 70 years old, but so powerful and incredibly realistic like a documentary. Anfortunately this raw style is gone from cinema today.
@ODB11B6 ай бұрын
Couldn’t agree more that Seven Samurai is one of if not the greatest movies of all time. I realized everything you ever wanted to learn about life can be found in this masterpiece of a movie. Love, honor, courage, regret, sorrow, the list goes on. Duplicated many times but never even close to the original.

A good selection! Seven Samurai was my first introduction to Japanese cinema back in the early 90s and is definitely towards the top of my list. I currently own @25 dvds/Blu-ray’s of Kurosawa’s filmography and think he’s one of the greatest directors of all time. But I have to be honest, once I grew older, hopefully wiser, and started to appreciate subtext and meaning, Harakiri easily makes my top 5 favorite movies of all time regardless of sword fights. Don’t get me wrong, I love the action, but the messaging class systems, honor, hypocrisy, futility, etc, that Kobayashi filmed are just spot on and brilliant.

Thanks for this compilation. I remember watching a lot of samurai movies when I was in college back in the mid 70's. It brings back memories. A local art cinema used to have samurai marathons and show 4 or 5 movies back to back. I remember a number of the movies that you mention in this clip and others including Zato Ichi (the blind swordsman... I think some of those were from a Japanese TV series) and the strange "Baby Carriage in the Land of Demons". Obviously, I needed English subtitles to understand what was going on. But, because these were movies made for a Japanese audience it gave one some insights into Japanse attitudes, culture, and mindset. I thought Toshiro Mifune was great.
@paulbonge66177 ай бұрын
Indeed Zatoichi! We're contemporaries in that regard. I spent hours and hours over days and days at Bleecker St. Cinema's Zatoichi marathon back then! Now Kurosawa and, Rashomon in particular. It is a tour de force of Japanese surrealist cinema, made even more surreal when seen in another language with subtitles! To clarify: My father was living in Mexico City when it came out in 1950, he was fluent in Spanish so, subtitles were not a problem, yet even then, Rashomon was convoluted enough that he still had problems figuring out "Who Done IT?" Then my grandmother visited him along with two of his cousins who neither spoke nor read any Spanish at all. My grandmother could read Spanish competently but not fluently. My father warned them that this film was beyond comprehension perhaps even if you spoke Japanese and would be as indecipherable as a swamp in the dark for them. Interestingly enough, the three of them returned from seeing the film, with their own conclusions as to what it was about and, "Who Done IT?" and ALL were as divergent as you could imagine and yet ALL were equally valid. A testament to Kurosawa's GENIUS as a visual storyteller!!!
@paulbonge66177 ай бұрын
Bravo! 7 Samurai by far the best! For me one moment always stands out. The lone Samurai Master, alone in the forest at the edge of a thin stream of water: The fluidity and grace of the way his sword flows from his scabbard as he unsheathes it, in the same way as water flows! It's a brief scene and Kurosawa only has him do this move two times in short order

The other name for this genre is “chanbara”, which refers to the sound of clashing blades. As Zatoichi and Lady Snowblood show, it doesn’t always focus on samurai, but does involve sword fights and often examines or questions the role of violence in society.

Thought a version of "Zatoichi" would have made the cut. I think it was made in the 1980's by a renowned Japanese Director in the eponymous role. Solo swordsman taking on gangs, climatic fight etc. One of the best is in a Gambling Den where the blind Zatoichi is cheated & the croupier says, "What are you going to do about it, old man?" Easy.... in a trice he's cut off the croupier's arms just below both elbows & then sorts out the heavies. Ace Film.

It seems that you, the viewers of this KZbin video, do not understand much about this performance. Since I am Japanese, I will explain it to you. This performance is not about the actor who cuts, but about the actor who is being cut. The actor on the receiving end of the cut is the one who is performing the "shield/ tate" act, and he trains himself to perform it daily. That is why the performance looks so powerful!

I've been watching Ninja and Samurai films since the late 1970s, as a boy, and only The Twilight Samurai and Ninja Scroll (early 1990s animation) strike my fancy. I think partly because I am a tragic romantic at heart. Pure fighting and killing are meaningless to me. Bad choreography only add to it. And, let's face it, movies envisioned, choreographed, and shot in the 1930s to 70s, could hardly be that realistically choreographed. It's mostly movies from the 1990s onward, with modern techniques and technologies, plus first rate directors, that movie choreography truly started to resemble or surpass reality (think of most Tom Cruise stunts: they are so real, they really surpassed reality, due to the multi million visual & audio technologies involved)... And, yes, NINJA SCROLL incorporated that exaggerated blood spurt from that early classic, SANJURO, 1962, BURST OF BLOOD to the very fullest... Both TWILIGHT SAMURAI and NINJA SCROLL, however, were about family and tragic star-crossed lovers, respectively... with violence and politics being mere backgrounds. Most Western audiences and commentators didn't understand the Twilight Samurai, so they kept saying it has to do with the guy/father/Samurai returning home late, during twilight hours. That had nothing to do with the actual title. The title really was about the two little, motherless girls --- as ELDERLY women (only seen briefly at the very last few seconds of the movies, when they went to see their beloved father's grave) --- paying homage to their father, a tragic Samurai living out the last days of a Japanese society in the process of transitioning from its rigid, feudal way into the modern era.... with the girls/elderly women loving telling the audiences what an odd, loving, & modern father theirs was, even though he was a true Samurai by heart.... In the old, rigid, & feudal days of Japan, no father, much less a Samurai, would love and care for two little daughters as much as their father here, the girls/elderly women conveyed to us, the viewers. Their loving step mother, TOMOE (this, we could only assume, since she came to care for the two little motherless girls, upon her return to her ancestral family) --- a tragic woman of her own, who also was their father's good childhood friend growing up in the same village, who was married off but who was returned to her family because she couldn't have children for her husband --- added to the bittersweetness of the time-era the Japanese were going through... Anyway, the two childhood friends (who were now starting to be more than friends, TOMOE and The Twilight Samurai, played by Hirioki Sanada, who also played in Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves latest movies) walking, each feeling the tragedies and disappointments in life, under a moonlit night, with snow falling... with an exquisite children's lullaby by the late organist Isao Tomita.... ... THE TWILIGHT SAMURAI truly was an exquisitely, cleverly written, acted, and directed film, with many different layers.... Very few films from Japan could beat it... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnTLqGWcrJ6Xatk

A nice list. I have seen most of the movies mentioned. However, in my opinion, you left out the best Samurai battle scene: Toshiro Mifune as Miyamoto Musashi in Samurai III: Duel at Ganryu Island (1956). The final fight between Musashi and Kojiro Sasaki (Koji Tsuruta) should have been #1 (or at least tied with Seven Samurai's final battle).

@paulbonge66177 ай бұрын
Agreed, though the Musashi Trilogy is considered a TOP rank Japanese B-Movie genre series of films. Undeserving, yet can you imagine if Kurosawa had made them? Mifune IS Miyamotosan without debate! Ganryu is a classic. One: In the mythology, Musashi took an oar from the boat in which he traveled to the island and carved out a Katana with which he fought. Two: on taking to the beach as he'd delayed his arrival, the sun was behind him and then as they faced off, (this is murky because it's been decades since I read this) Three: his opponent, the master of the "Swan Cut?" was it, threw his scabbard to the ground and Musashi gave him an out saying, "You have already lost." As he'd been so cavalier and disrespectful as to throw his scabbard away. Four: His opponent engaged, and Musashi felled him in the first stroke, bringing his carved from an oar katana down upon his head crushing his skull.

I'm a huge fan of Akira Kurosawa's masterpieces- I watched them from an early age, because my mum was a huge fan. Yojimbo is my favorite. It all come together - the character, the acting, the music and how nature - the sound of the winds - is an integral part of the film. Recognized Tatsuya Nakadai from " Sword of doom" in Yojimbo as Unosuke - one of the gang members who has come back with an european gun. You just sensed that there where something dangerous and erratic about him.

The final duel in "Sanjuro" is cinematic perfection, even with the malfunctioning blood pump. Amé Agaru (After The Rain) has a great segment of the protagonist performing Mugai-ryu kata whilst travelling in the woods. "Shogun Assassin III" when Ito Ogami leads an opponent into a pond, and switches from a right to left hand grip, and opens his abdomen with yokogiri, from the unprotected side. "13 Assassins" when Ogura and his Master take on all-comers and cut down like 30 guys; as Ogura finally succumbs to his wounds, he sees his Master still barely fighting, crushing an enemy's head with a rock. "Izu", killing the giant monk. That movie is a trip, for a samurai flick.

I watched my first samurai movie many many decades ago that gave me a deep impression on Japanese martial films. Two man were fighting and a little boy hug on the older man’s leg handicapping him. The old man seems not to be harming the boy. I think he was the kid’s granddad, and was fighting with the little boy’s father(his son-in-law), who was not taking advantage of his son’s attempt to stop the fighting. I have always wondered what the name of that film is.
