In fact, this was so beautiful that it made me cry. My favorite film is 'Ikiru' :) I'm just so pleased there are people out there who appreciate what true filmmaking is.
All of us who are here, who found this video because they typed "Kurosawa Tribute" to the search bar, let us make sure that the genius of Kurosawa will never die. Let's make sure that new generations will be introduced to his movies forever.
It's hard not to well up when you know the stories behind the images, they're that powerful. Maybe Rashomon the most emotional? Ikiru? Ran? They're all devastatingly powerful films.
Long ago, in a college film class, the professor had us watch 'Seven Samurai.' I've been captivated by Kurosawa's vision and talent ever since. He was truly the master. I have great praise for Toshiro Mifune, also, having seen all 16 films they did together.
Kurosawa trully was one of the great giants of film directors. I've seen maybe dozen of his movies and not one was bad. Even his worst is still a good movie. This was a great tribute. Loved the use of music from "Sword of the Stranger".
Cinema magic by the greatest director in the world. It’s not just moving pictures, it’s also moving paintings. Very well made tribute with great music.
gutted you couldnt include Stray Dogs, the scene where Mifune and the gun thief are at quarrelling towards the end, dirtied from the mud, in the bare dirty ground knackered, as one and the same. One of the most powerful moments in history of cinema.
Gorgeous Brandon! Kurosawa had such great cinematography--both in color and especially black and white. What a lovely homage to him and makes me want to revisit several of his influential classics.
Oh, beautiful! Just beautiful! I had to watch with waves of goosebumps. What a master filmmaker, Kurosawa - an existentialist that captured the glory and agony of our human condition - expiation of life, as Schopenhauer once said. :) Thank you for sharing.
Brandon! I used to watch/comment on your videos under a previous alias. I wish you were still making them! Your montage videos and your analysis videos were always so great. I wish there were more people on YT like you.
Kurosawa was phenomenal because he had a wonderful camera eye for both photos and action, was marvelous with actors, in casting and directing. Very few directors could do all those things. Maybe Bergman. But not Lean, who screwed up with Chris Jones in Ryan's Daughter, and both Julie Christie and Omar Sharif in Doctor Zhivago. Kurosawa was both a natural and virtuoso of incredible range: from HIgh and Low, to Ikiru to The Seven Samaurai, completely different genres.
Thanks GlamAmor. Kurosawa was a genius. His b/w films are really striking to watch and his use of color in his later period was phenomenal. He was blind during the making of Ran for a period of time, and yet it was still an aesthetically overwhelming masterpiece.
Thank you very much. It makes my day knowing someone was moved by my video. Naoki Sato's music really is powerful just by itself. I am a big Kurosawa fan, but my favorite filmmaker is probably Ozu. I need to do one of these for him some day. Let me know if you ever change your name. That would be epic.
Thank you. I'm happy that you enjoyed the vid. I'm thinking of doing more for other directors but not sure who to do next. I have to find the right music for the right filmmaker.
Wow! Stunning! My favorite director of all time and you managed to pull it off and catch the right mood. Would've loved to see some Dersu Uzala or Red Beard too, but I can't complain. I'd love it if you did an Ozu one!
That was a wonderful montage. Thank you, to whomever put it together. I do have one complaint, though: only 12, by my count, out of Kurosawa's 30 films are represented here. Surely any serious montage needs footage from Red Beard, Dersu Uzala, I Live in Fear, The Lower Depths, Drunken Angel, Stray Dog, and so on.
He says he always wanted to, the studio wouldn't let me because they were worried it'd be too expensive. I think I read somewhere that the original 1954 was one of his favorites.
findmestudios I've read the same thing, Toho was fuckin up his jam. Imagine what a film that would've been, one of the greatest movie monsters of all time and one of the greatest film directors ever in his prime....and I wasn't even trying to rhyme, it's just a magical thought.
Which starts at 2:47? Those costume textures are amazing...that ending stabbing is a bit nutty....I'm reading his autobio for the second time. Wish the films of his teachers in P.C.L. before it evolved into Toho like his teacher director Yama-san were around to be seen.
My English teacher showed this to us in class. Needless to say, he's the best English teacher I've ever had.
They just don't make movies like this anymore...truly every film Kurosawa made is a masterpiece
In fact, this was so beautiful that it made me cry. My favorite film is 'Ikiru' :) I'm just so pleased there are people out there who appreciate what true filmmaking is.
Like Ikiru? Try Red Beard.
@@sanjursan both are great movies, masterpieces of the greatest movie maker of the last century and may be of all times.
Enjoy my friends 👍👌
Thank you

Perfect! Couldn't watch this without tears in my eyes.

This is my most favorite video on youtube. Akira Kurosawa is my inspiration, Thank you for making this.

Undoubtedly one of the greatest directors ever! :)
I only just started watching his films recently, he is now my favorite director.
Same here
best director ever
this is one of the most epic and moving tributes i have ever seen, Kurosawa is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
The greatest director who ever lived. Let us all pay homage.
Incredible work. This brought a tear to my eyes.

This is beautiful. I adore Kurosawa's films, and you've made a tribute worthy of them :) Thankyou so much!
So ahead of his time
Cinema magic by the greatest director in the world. It’s not just moving pictures, it’s also moving paintings. Very well made tribute with great music.
He certainly was the master of cinema.
gutted you couldnt include Stray Dogs, the scene where Mifune and the gun thief are at quarrelling towards the end, dirtied from the mud, in the bare dirty ground knackered, as one and the same. One of the most powerful moments in history of cinema.
A não perder!
Such inspirational music to saga of a legendary director.
Gorgeous Brandon! Kurosawa had such great cinematography--both in color and especially black and white. What a lovely homage to him and makes me want to revisit several of his influential classics.
So many films there that have influenced world cinema... and the world in general
Oh, beautiful! Just beautiful! I had to watch with waves of goosebumps. What a master filmmaker, Kurosawa - an existentialist that captured the glory and agony of our human condition - expiation of life, as Schopenhauer once said. :) Thank you for sharing.
1:56 it was inside of one of the old express lines which were totally replaced with shinkansen three years later.
Brandon! I used to watch/comment on your videos under a previous alias. I wish you were still making them! Your montage videos and your analysis videos were always so great. I wish there were more people on YT like you.
A great tribute for a great director.
The greatest ever
The art of Kurosawa!
Excellent
What a beautiful tribute video

Thank you very much. I am definitely doing an Ozu one soon. :D
Very nice tribute! Great work thanks for posting. Cheers.
鮮やかな映画への美しいオマージュ
Thank you very much. Kurosawa was a genius. :)
Thank you. I'm happy that you enjoyed the vid. I'm thinking of doing more for other directors but not sure who to do next. I have to find the right music for the right filmmaker.
Thanks Dude. Means a lot. I've been wanting to make a new video for a long time.
Wow! Stunning! My favorite director of all time and you managed to pull it off and catch the right mood. Would've loved to see some Dersu Uzala or Red Beard too, but I can't complain. I'd love it if you did an Ozu one!

Great work, nice tribute to Kurosawa. You should tributes to Orson Welles, Sergio Leone, and Federico Fellini
Beautiful work. Great job, man!
amazing!!
I love this video. Absolutely wonderful stuff.
Just imagine if Kurosawa made a Godzilla movie. He always wanted to.
it would stain his honor.
orpheus kingstone why would it stain his career? Have you seen the original? That movie is a masterpiece.
He says he always wanted to, the studio wouldn't let me because they were worried it'd be too expensive. I think I read somewhere that the original 1954 was one of his favorites.

Nonsense. He would've elevated it.
Which starts at 2:47? Those costume textures are amazing...that ending stabbing is a bit nutty....I'm reading his autobio for the second time. Wish the films of his teachers in P.C.L. before it evolved into Toho like his teacher director Yama-san were around to be seen.
I just love good films I can’t do crappy stuff
Epic..
This didn't even have any footage from Red Beard, one of the master's most moving films. If it had, I'd probably have been crying.
Lucas and Coppola learned from the Master and the best director..Akira Kurosawa
Lucas is hardly a director. He basically ruined the new Hollywood movement of the 70s along with spielbitch
ありがとうドクター。あなたは最高です。
Thanks. A wonderful montage. Kurosawa would have approved. How about the director Kurosawa called "the master," Kenji Mizoguchi.
Where are you, haven't seen anything from you in a long time.
High & Low, 1963. :)
Wow
"High & Low" Zwishen Himmel und Hölle 1963... One of the best: "Der Idiot" Hakuchi, Takashi Shimura - maestro.
Ikiru, Seven Samurai, Rashomon, Throne of Blood...
This really should have had music from one of his films, but good job all the same
What is music track, can I have any links
What's the name of the movie at 2:57?
Walter White i think it's RAN
Sᴇᴛᴜᴘ.ᴇxᴇ I don't think it is. I watched Ran recently and I don't remember seeing that.
Walter White is Kagemushya 影武者.
+Walter White When I saw this movie at L.A. in 1981, The tittle was "Shadow Warrior"
where is Dersu?
Dersu! Capitan!
1:57- what's that movie? Anybody can tell me pls?
uh... This brought me to tears... F*** this s***, I'm becoming a filmmaker
What is the song title?
Ozu? Kubrick? Welles? Ford? Lots of choices.
Samgladiator sent me.
Ozu can't compare with Kurosawa.
Just look at Tokyo Story and Ikiru and see for yourself.
....ja
三船と志村この二人なくして、語れず！
Kurosawa🇯🇵 Japanese, filme🚩 💯💯💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
