Akira, Billy, John and Sydney on the same stage at the same podium at the same moment, this will NEVER happen again, we've lost 4 TRUE artists of the art of motion pictures, they'll be missed FOREVER.
For me, Ran is the best 1985 film. I know that they had some problems with getting the film nominated for best foreign language film (which I think Ran should've won easily), and Sydney Lumet helped that Kurosawa was nominated for best director. Shame that he didn't won that one. I mean, every film that was nominated is great, but that's a shame for Ran, it's beautifully done all around.
***** I wouldn't call it bad, but it's a matter of opinion. I agree with you that Out of Africa wasn't the best film that year. And I know there are some films made only to be Oscar baits (I strongly believe that for the most part 12 years a slave was such a movie), and maybe Out of Africa is one of those, but I repeat, I don't think it's a bad movie. Also, when you mentioned Brazil. That's a top notch. For me, it's on my top 10 list movies of all time for sure. But, Terry Gillaim's work has never been that much recognized by the Academy. Here and there are few nominations for his films.
hollywood is just bias against Japanese. hollywood just really doesn't want to award Japanese film makers and films a major Oscar award because hollywood is in favor towards americans even though american films suck most of the time
...I really loved the movie "the color purple! ...the song "Sister" the thing is, ...it reminded me to just love one another, ....find someone to love and be kind to, you never know what people are going through what they are settling for, ...try to brighten someone's day. It could be a smile to a stranger a sister letting her know I see you, like Louie Armstrong said in one of he's songs " I see friends saying how do you do, ...their really saying I love you" ...Beautiful~ I do love the movie Out Of Africa ...the ending use to make me sad, but the older I get I understand her situation and when we have good memories that's all ours no one can take that, ...she worked so very hard, she was teaching .....the back porch to her home in Africa was so amazing ...it's nice to create a nice spot to relax in ...be formal about chilling
I saw Johns daughter and her then boyfriend Jack Nicholson in the audience. This was when Anjelica one her academy award. Her, her father John, and her grandfather Walter all won academy awards. :)
Out of africa is a masterpiece and the Color Purple is a good Movie Spielberg's masterpiece are Munich, saving Private ryan, Munich, close Enconters, Jaws, schindler's List
LEGENDS - the word genius and legend get strewn about too much nowadays This applies to Wilder, Kurosawa and Huston Notice how each of them made their entrance - even in their old age - they OWNED that shit!
The first time I watched Out of Africa, I thought it was one of the most boring movies I'd ever seen. The second time I watched it, I thought it was one of the greatest movies I'd ever seen. Seriously. I think it was sometime in the 90s. I rented it from a video store down the block. It was before there was a Blockbuster on every corner. It was about a half mile from my house so it didn't take me long to drive there. I used to rent more than just one movie but I don't remember what else I rented. But I do remember I watched it two times. To be honest, I don't remember how long the interval was between viewings.
I too thought that Out of Africa was a boring film. I thought that it did not deserve to win despite starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford and I still do not like it today. The only thing I can really remember from it today is the wonderful camerawork and its fabulous musical score by John Barry. There was not really not much of a storyline to the film anyway. I'm surprised that it won for best screenplay. My choice for best picture in 1985 was Prizzi's Honor. I guess I am one of the very few people who hated the film The Color Purple in 1985. I still do, a vastly overrated movie. It was nominated for 11 Oscars and did not win any, I'm glad.
I LOOOOVED Prizzi's Honor. Of course, I'm a huge fan of black comedies and that one was one of the best. Great cast! I'm just surprised that Kathleen Turner got robbed of an oscar nomination. She deserved it for her performance.
If Oscar accepted international films for its Best Picture category long ago, Rashomon (1950), Seven Samurai (1954), Kagemusha (1980) and Ran (1985) should have been nominated and even won!!!
I thought Wilder was the youngest of the three, but he was actually the oldest-months older than Huston and a couple of years older than Kurosawa. I’m on the last pages of Conversations with Wilder by Cameron Crowe. The man really took care of himself. He avoided elevators out of fear of getting stuck, but I think that habit ended up helping him physically. God, grant me health like that in my eighties.
I love both "The Color Purple" and "Out of Africa"! I really wish they both weren't released in the same year! I was hoping the movie musical version of "The Color Purple" would win Best Picture so that we could have both "The Color Purple" and "Out of Africa" be Best Picture winners for two separate years, but sadly that didn't work out the way I wanted it to!
É UM DOS FILMES MAIS LINDOS QUE EU JÁ VI, PERFEITO EM TUDO: ELENCO, MÚSICA, CENÁRIO, HISTÓRIA E PREMIAÇÃO. TENHO ESTA OBRA DE ARTE E TODA VEZ QUE VEJO PARECE A PRIMEIRA VEZ.
Sydney Pollack's (July 1, 1934-May 26, 2008) seems to be a great filmmaker like me. He directed movies such as Out of Africa, released on December 18, 1985, filmed in Kenya. It is based on a true story about Karen Blixen (Meryl Streep) who travels to colonial Kenya to join her husband, Bror von Blixen (Klaus Maria Brandeur), who spends their money on a coffee plantation and falls in love with hunter Denys Finch Hatton (Robert Redford). I liked that beautiful scene where the two flew a plane through Africa. Anyways, Pollack was awesome and directed other great films like Havana and Sabrina. John Barry (November 3, 1930-January 30, 2011) was awesome too. He was a great composer, especially for the Flying Over Africa score.
like spanish man that i am they are three great directors but the good thing of cinema is that one of them being japanese with all films in their country he is recognised what he is one of the 20 best directirs of all time. Bravo Akira Kurosawa
Damn shame that my superdupermega crush , Steven Spielberg didn't win Best Director heck not even nominated.For me He more amazing than alk four if them on stage.He looks so handsome here.Yes i know all four are iconic , fantastic directors ..i just super love SS
I love the oscra's soooo much. the music the show the people. It always makes me cry. And on the april 14th I will tattoo an oscar on my foot 'cause I want to wear it all the time with me ♥ thank you for all this amazing moments. :-*
Out of Africa was by far the better movie. The Color Purple was like a Hallmark movie, too cliche ridden, and scenes that were overstaged, not natural or believable.
Can't really disagree on best picture etc. because i've only seen the Colour Purple. But the score? no way! The Out of Africa score is absolutely stunning.
@soaphunks Too true. The Academy really needs to think about whether the films they vote for deserve to be immensely watched in the future. By the way, I think it is an absolute insult to Akira Kurosawa to present BP when his own film "RAN" - so clearly the BEST film of 1985 - was snubbed :(
Out of Africa is one of the most beautiful movies I've ever watched! The photography is perfect, the soundtrack is wonderful - not to mention the Meryl Streep's performance, impeccable as always. It really deserved to win the Academy Award for Best Picture that year! But I missed The Purple Rose of Cairo. Even though Out of Africa deserved to win the Oscar in 1985, The Purple Rose of Cairo should at least have been nominated, instead of Witness.
As much has i love Out of Africa and Meryl Streep and Robert Redford was so phenomenal but I think The Color Purple should of won. And Whoopi performance in The Color Purple should of won her and Oscar. Whoopi got it for Ghost but....
إنك تاخذ الجائزة من إيد الاسطورة أكيرا لحالها جائزة ما بالك اذا معاه بيلي وايدر و جون هيوستن 🥶 Accepting the award from Akira Kurosawa is an award in itself, let alone if Billy Wilder and John Huston are with him !
@@DMalltheway Philistine. The word Philistine means a person who is hostile or indifferent to culture and the arts, or who has no understanding of them. The Oscar voters have a better opinion than anybody else, and I trust them.
Nah. Out of Africa is a better movie. Better soundtrack, better photography and equally good performances (Whoopi Goldberg was amazing, but so was Meryl Streep).
My god! first time I watch this one. And I thought Scorsese, Coppola, Lucas and Spielberg on the same stage was legendary. Other ideas that came to my mind. Why the academy made John Huston and Kurosawa deliver the oscar, when both of their films were contenders, in the case of Ran I know it wasn't but should've been. And Out of Africa, should've been a very great film, I haven`t seen it. But winning all those awards in the same year of: Purple rose of Cairo, the color purple, Back to the future, Witness,Brazil, Ran, After Hours, Kiss of the spider woman, Mishima, Lost in America and the breakfast club. It must mean something.
Agreed. I think that not only do we not have the great directors anymore, we don't have the great movie stars who can also act. Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett can't do everything. Speaking solely on movie stars and physical beauty - Where are they? Everyone - men and women - are moderately attractive or merely quirky looking. Monica Bellucci is a classic beauty, but she is Italian and not that famous here in the States.
Well, here’s another Oscar winner that didn’t age well and that’s been mostly forgotten by the mainstream public. Best Picture should have went to either Back to the Future or The Color Purple.
Wrong. I'm writing from 2022 and still admiring Out of Africa as the immortal masterpiece it is. The Color Purple is a worse movie and easier to forget. Out of Africa has better slundtrack, better photography and equally good performances (Whoopi Goldberg was amazing but so was Meryl Streep).
Out of Africa was a very good movie, in many ways, but hardly the Best Picture of the Year. The Color Purple should have won the Oscar for Best Picture. Witness was also brilliant film worthy of the win for Best Picture. For many movie fans, this Best Picture decision was and remains an OUTRAGE!
The Color Purple was a very good movie, but it shouldn't have won. Out of Africa had better soundtrack, better photography and equally amazing performances (Whoopi Goldberg was spectacular, but so was Meryl Streep).
This list should have been: Back to the Future (WINNER) Witness The Color Purple Prizzi’s Honor Ran Kiss of the Spider Woman Brazil Cocoon The Purple Rose of Cairo Runaway Train
I think the same thing. The only thing I ever remember from Out of Africa is the score by John Barry and the cinematography. Other than those things, it’s one of the more forgettable films to win Best Picture. Whereas people still remember films like Back to the Future, Brazil, The Color Purple & Witness. As a side note: I would also nominate Back to the Future for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Christopher Lloyd, Best Production Design & Best Visual Effects. I didn’t mention Original Screenplay, Best Score or Song & Sound Editing & Mixing because it was already nominated in those categories.
Color purple don´t win any oscar, I Think, but it is a realy great movie. Out of Africa it´s too a nice movie. In my opinion color purple should be win...
anjelica is a wonderful actress... but when Oprah's character (sophia) is totally numb from her time in jail... I mean, just her expression makes me cry
You’d think the academy would have learned from the year before when they let Laurence Olivier present the best picture and he forget to mention the nominations that they were done letting the elderly present
Run this race again today and I guarantee you that "Out of Africa" loses. OOA is one of those movies (like "The English Patient") that "seems" like it will be an ultimate "Oscar-type" movie, only to be overshadowed in later years by the movies it beat out.
Overshadowed in your dreams maybe. I'm writing from 2022 and still enjoying ghe masterpiece of Out of Africa. The Color Purple was fine, but Out of Africa has better soundtrack, better photography and equally good performances (WhoopinGoodberg was excellent, but so was Meryl Streep).
Close contact with director Akira Kurosawa! The camera time slipped in July 1984 at the shooting site of the movie "Ran". You can meet a master who gives gentle and polite acting guidance to actors who do not scold other than the assistant director. While attending Kwansei Gakuin University, he collaborated with a video cameraman and director as a filming assistant and audio manager at the production site of "Ran". It was an exclusive independent production with permission from Director Kurosawa. Instead of having to pay the accommodation fee, the making of random production right was granted to the Herald movie at that time, and it is out in the world
Boston Terrier if only that would have been simple but the academy doesn't want that to be in the best picture nomination, I like bttf and that is very understandably.
If John Huston, Billy Wilder, and Akira Kurosawa presented my movie winning Best Picture I would retire, cause there ain't no way you'll get any better than that
It is embarrassing to see Johnny Huston's disappointment where he himself is among the presenters of an award where one of the films he directed and loses: Prizzi's Honor.
Why would I be referring to the person next to Spielberg when I just stated that Jon Voight's kids are rude for not applauding? James is to the left of Jon Voight and Angelina is to the right.
I think that, possibly, The Color Purple may be the best picture ever made that didn't win the Best Picture Oscar. Several places in that movie where I get teary-eyed with a lump-in-the-throat; now that's a moving experience. Just an observation, and a tour de force by Whoopi Goldberg & Oprah Winfrey.
Blade Runner, A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Barry Lyndon or Burning (2018), to cite a few, are better movies that The Color Purple and also didn't win the best movie award.
John Huston, Billy Wilder & Akira Kurosawa presenting...it doesn't get more grand than this.
I can’t tell what makes me happier, billy wilder’s face, John Huston’s voice, or Akira Kurosawa’s EXISTENCE
Maybe just the combination of all three of them😍
What a fabulous comment! You are so right!
Amen
Akira, Billy, John and Sydney on the same stage at the same podium at the same moment, this will NEVER happen again, we've lost 4 TRUE artists of the art of motion pictures, they'll be missed FOREVER.
the way sydney pollack react to kurosawa annouce his pictures and his name is everything we feel about these 3 legends gathering.
They hardly ever do this anymore! Best Picture should presented by people of this caliber.
We don't have this caliber today anymore…😢 the closest we have now is probably Martin Scorsese
Three legends announcing three legends presenting a legend with a legendary award. Legend.
Quite amazing The Color Purple didn't receive a single award out of 11 mominations
The same holds true for The Turning Point in 1977.
renegade runner there is no real comparison between the two.
It absolutely deserved the win and then some.
It’s the oscars and they don’t usually go for all black films
@@volcydestine3300 especially in the 80s
Good freaking lord. Three of the greats before the masses. Lucky bastards.
John Huston, Billy Wilder and Akira Kurosawa, ¡qué trio de lujo!
Three big giants presenting this award. Though I'm surprised Huston is one of them since his movie was one of the nominees!
My goodness, I would have been totally starstruck. 3 legends.
This is an amazing movie. R.I.P. to Sydney Pollack, cinematographer David Watkin and composer John Barry

Ran is one of my favorite films. Truly epic!
I like how 'Out of Africa' was revealed at 2:28 before actually being announced as the winner.
It's probably cause Kurosawa's speaking Japanese. Either way, look how happy Sidney Pollack is for just being called out by Kurosawa
What do you mean announced? He just read it as a nominee
@@AA-sn9lz Pollack is probably laughing at the way his name was mispronounced.

Increíble, tres genios reunidos. Para aplaudir eternamente maestros Wildet, Huston y Kurosawa!!!

Who remembers Out of Africa in 2019 really? But The Color Purple is an endearing classic with the most memorable performances
Out of africa is a masterpiece and the Color Purple is a good Movie
Spielberg's masterpiece are Munich, saving Private ryan, Munich, close Enconters, Jaws, schindler's List
I think The Color Purple is a great film, but for me, Out of Africa tops it. I just love that movie.
I've seen 'Out of Africa' twice and I still don't remember what it's about. 'The Color Purple' I have never forgotten.
I'm from 2022. I remember Out of Africa as the masterlece it is, while I couldn't care less by The Color Purple.
Honestly, I think Come and See is the best film of 1985.
RIP Pollack. He was something.

Runaway Train
I think the same thing. The only thing I ever remember from Out of Africa is the score by John Barry and the cinematography. Other than those things, it’s one of the more forgettable films to win Best Picture. Whereas people still remember films like Back to the Future, Brazil, The Color Purple & Witness.
As a side note: I would also nominate Back to the Future for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Christopher Lloyd, Best Production Design & Best Visual Effects. I didn’t mention Original Screenplay, Best Score or Song & Sound Editing & Mixing because it was already nominated in those categories.
@@hunterolaughlin Don’t you mean Supporting for Lloyd?
Best Supporting Actor then.
Putting Huston and Kurosawa as presenters in a year when both were nominated and lost was such a lack of sensibility by the Academy...
Color purple don´t win any oscar, I Think, but it is a realy great movie. Out of Africa it´s too a nice movie. In my opinion color purple should be win...
The Color Purple had worse soundtrack and worse photography than Out of Africa. Whoopi Golddberg was amazing, but so was Meryl Streep.
Hopefully a movie from Africa would win Best Picture one day. Meryl Streep was good here
For Gades sake become member of the Academy and then vote for "who is deserving or serving"
anjelica is a wonderful actress... but when Oprah's character (sophia) is totally numb from her time in jail... I mean, just her expression makes me cry
Uh-oh--wasn't "Prizzi's Honor" John Huston's movie? Awkward...
2:27 #FAIL. they put the title before announcing the winner
I hadn't noticed it untill I saw your
comment.
THE COLOR PURPLE got robbed that year. The Picture, the score, the screenplay, Oprah and Whoopi: they all deserved Oscars.
I dont think he announced the winner - I think they had the names written down on paper because they had trouble reading the teleprompter.
Billy Wilder, oh gosh.. those were the times when Oscars had class !
You’d think the academy would have learned from the year before when they let Laurence Olivier present the best picture and he forget to mention the nominations that they were done letting the elderly present
Run this race again today and I guarantee you that "Out of Africa" loses. OOA is one of those movies (like "The English Patient") that "seems" like it will be an ultimate "Oscar-type" movie, only to be overshadowed in later years by the movies it beat out.
Overshadowed in your dreams maybe. I'm writing from 2022 and still enjoying ghe masterpiece of Out of Africa. The Color Purple was fine, but Out of Africa has better soundtrack, better photography and equally good performances (WhoopinGoodberg was excellent, but so was Meryl Streep).
who's here in 2022? Out of Africa is timeless, classic
Close contact with director Akira Kurosawa! The camera time slipped in July 1984 at the shooting site of the movie "Ran". You can meet a master who gives gentle and polite acting guidance to actors who do not scold other than the assistant director.
While attending Kwansei Gakuin University, he collaborated with a video cameraman and director as a filming assistant and audio manager at the production site of "Ran". It was an exclusive independent production with permission from Director Kurosawa. Instead of having to pay the accommodation fee, the making of random production right was granted to the Herald movie at that time, and it is out in the world
Back to the Future REALLY should've won. :p
Boston Terrier if only that would have been simple but the academy doesn't want that to be in the best picture nomination, I like bttf and that is very understandably.
At the 2:00 mark you can see Angelina Jolie with her dad Jon Voight.
If John Huston, Billy Wilder, and Akira Kurosawa presented my movie winning Best Picture I would retire, cause there ain't no way you'll get any better than that
It is embarrassing to see Johnny Huston's disappointment where he himself is among the presenters of an award where one of the films he directed and loses: Prizzi's Honor.
Why would I be referring to the person next to Spielberg when I just stated that Jon Voight's kids are rude for not applauding?
James is to the left of Jon Voight and Angelina is to the right.
Pollack just got excited Kurosawa is saying his name ...
I think that, possibly, The Color Purple may be the best picture ever made that didn't win the Best Picture Oscar. Several places in that movie where I get teary-eyed with a lump-in-the-throat; now that's a moving experience. Just an observation, and a tour de force by Whoopi Goldberg & Oprah Winfrey.
Citizen Kane?
Blade Runner, A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Barry Lyndon or Burning (2018), to cite a few, are better movies that The Color Purple and also didn't win the best movie award.
2:00 in white, a young Angelina Jolie
The name of the best picture came up before the trio announced the winner
