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!
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 UA-cam
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
I tell people constantly, you dont get what we consider Anime without this man. Every frame's scope, colour, elements, staging, blocking, stoicism and feeling is what you see in every anime.
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.
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.
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.
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
You're brave for even attempting to condense a video on Akira Kurosawa's cinematography to only three minutes, and not succumbing to the urge to make it three hours.
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
Kurosowa helped bring Japanese cinema to the world he paved the way for so many great Japanese filmmakers who've left their marks but none bigger than Kurosowa, not to mention the many western filmmakers he's inspired as well
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.
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.
Thank you very much for making me aware of such a great filmmaker. I wasn't knowing him & his work until I saw this video. Whatever that I saw here is a treat for my eyes. To honor such a talented artist, I will watch his work and enjoy this beauty. Thank you once again !!
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.
I was just watching Ran by Akira Kurosawa and this video popped up!! Glad you have captured the true essence and soul of all his films ❤ and the editing is just top notch!
Thank you for this clip of Kurosawa's movies. A stunning vignette of his beautiful work. He was a masterful and visionary director. Kind Regards. Colin F. - New Zealand
Je me suis fait une grande partie de sa filmographie très récemment avec la collection blu-ray de Wildside, ça fait plaisir de retrouver les plans que j'ai aimé dans cette vidéo !
This was, after the beauty of horror cinema, my most anticipated video. You’re really special, and so this channel. To me this is the best thing on UA-cam and no one can convince me otherwise.
If I had to choose just one scene, for its beauty, its music, its poetry, it would be Dersu, in Dersu Uzala, narrating part of his story to the captain, unable to understand malice, not understanding why he was robbed. My father sometimes had moments like this. I don't have that hope, I don't share the greatest faith of my father, of Prince Liév Nikoláievitch Míchkin (Лев Николаевич Мышкин), and of Eduardo Suplicy (here in Brazil): that justice and goodness endure. I interpret their hope as an inability to accept reality. Perhaps the world is the violent pantomime of Chekhov in В овраге (In the Ravine), the terrifying ignorance of Мужики (The Peasants), or the bitter ingratitude of Guy de Maupassant in Boule de Suif. These are interpretations, and I borrow my own feelings: only silent and indifferent Darwinism exists. And that's how it ends. Kurosawa teaches us that the captain's goodwill is penalized. The gun given to help a friend is what hastens his death. Our fate will ultimately be death. Death condemns everything. Today in particular, it is no surprise that 'the gentle indifference of the world' has become clearer... Am I just bitter? 'Men judge according to their convictions, caring little for the truth... Communism doesn’t work because it holds the same innocence of believing that human behavior is not marked by selfishness, ambition, and corruption. Fear, envy, and stupidity are more prevalent than generosity, understanding, and effort. We are heading toward climate catastrophe, the peak of totalitarianism, and the dominance of big corporations. Welcome to the brave new world! Long live the far right!
I studied film making at university of Osaka and the professors always criticized Japanese directors like: ''Takeshi Kitano's movies are cheap. I hate it'' ''I can't understand Seijun Suzuki's movies'' ''Nagisa Ohshima wasn't genius. He's too Westernised'' But, nobody criticized Kurosawa. He was called ''the emperor of Japanese cinema''.
@@Carl_G_Jung Yes, every professor also love Ozu. One of my university professor said ''Tokyo Story is not heartwarming family drama. It is a masterpiece of horror movie about parenticide actually'' But, Ozu was not so popular between students. I really love his films. When ''Tokyo Story''s theme played in closing ceremony of Tokyo 2020, I was crying.
This is the best of your "the beauty of" series that I have watched so far... Obviously, you've got a very good grasp of the grand master's aesthetics... I really enjoy watching your videos... I'm grateful for the good moments having here at your place...

“To be an artist means never to avert one's eyes.” - Akira Kurosawa
Woah, this is like the final boss of "The Beauty of" videos.
Yup.
"Every frame is a painting" is the best description of the way Akira directs films
Couldn't agree anymore
Exactly my thought, about...5 seconds into the video at most
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 UA-cam

I will and always continue to believe that there is no art form better than film 😢😢.
This video makes me wanna cry
Thank you fir reminding us what we owe Kuosawa. All those grand and intimate moments and a force called Toshiro Mifune!
Absolute cinema.
0:27 Holy shit, this shot is absolutely beautiful. Every shot here is, but this one is just something else
Perfecto
Japanese critics say there is one Japanese movie that tops all Akira Kurosawa films, which is "The Human Condition Trilogy"
But theses are from a Kurosawa's friend: _Masaki_ _Kobayashi_
The greatest cinematic editor is back!

He was the Master. Every other director in History has "borrowed" from him.
Kurosawa is the Master and Emperor of cinema. Every frame is a painting.
One of my favourite Japanese Director of all time.
Akira Kurosawa is the greatest film director of all time.
Truly one of best directors who ever lived with timeless masterpiece. Thank you

Kurosawa’s visual narrative is captivating from film to film. Masterful editing & presentation! We need part 2, 3,…to inspire our senses. ✌🏼& 🎥
Big fan of Akira Kurosawa ❤
brought me to tears, holy shit. I have to watch this man's films
Sensei has been ahead the time,I am glad he stood the way he love for art art's sake.

Amazing video, Kurosawa really was one of the greatest directors to ever be a part of the industry.
His cinematic touch is unparalleled to this day.
How good it is that his entire essence and filmography became the video game Ghost Of Tsushima

Been waiting long for this one! It's great to see it, at long last. Great job at compiling such a prolific and masterful director, thank you.
ITS LIKE YOU READ MY MIND! I was JUST going to watch this.
This was such a good video. Especially the song choice and concision.
Loved the scenes of Throne of Blood, Kagemusha, and of course the greatest, Rashomon
He is humanity's peak in cinematography.
Videos like these is exactly why this channel remains as one of my favorites on UA-cam! ❤

His movies are like paintings...We can set wallpapers using his frames
Akira Kurosawa is one of my favourite artists, and he’s not even an artist. He’s also a genius film director you should know
which film?
@@PeterPing I think Sanjuro is not mentioned enough. It doesnt have these beautiful shots as in the video but a pretty entertaining sequel to Yojimbo
@@Fanthomas1742 The final shot/scene in Sanjuro is pretty damn awesome

Breaking Bad owes a lot to Kurosawa's work.
Je l'attendais vraiment celle-là, vraiment magnifique ca donne envie de faire toute sa filmo
Kurosawa is the GOAT in my opinion.
I still have not seen one of his films yet. I am looking forward to it though.
For me the GOAT is Tarkovsky.
@@colinthomas2525 Tarkovsky is hard to beat! hes actually my second favorite after Kurosawa. I was actually just about to watch the Sacrifice.
One of the all time great masters of cinema.

creo que voy a hacer una selección de las mejores escenas del maestro kurosawa
maestro kurosawa. su cine sigue viviendo.
the images lingers on even on the black frame at the end
This was gorgeous! I know it's a long shot, but it would be really amazing if you also did one for King Hu movies
absolutely beautiful!! I would watch 1 hour of this video. Next time you could do a vídeo about masaki Kobayashi. Keep the great work.
