This movie doesnt even seem possible. Every shot literally perfect and executed entirely with practical effects. Modern films dont ever reach this level of compositional brilliance with their set pieces despite being incalcuably easier to make (essentially infinite reshooting potential and far safer)
No CGI special effects in this masterpiece of a film. There really are hundreds of armored soldiers and a real wooden castle burnt for the sake of this iconic shot.
As you probably already know, Tatsuya Nakadai likes to joke that if he just tripped once the entire scene would be ruined.
@@DoctorX101 This Looks much better than a Serie like she hulk or a another garbage movie from marvel or dc or a another garbage movie with a female character 🤮🤮🤮
@@DoctorX101 This is a Masterpiece !
@@LeaderYangEquality Ran does have a significant female character though.
Yeah, but you legally and physically cannot do this kind of filming anymore.
Ran is one of the best movies I've ever seen in my whole life. Think of the scenes with the horses. Can you even imagine the effort needed to get all of those horses together in modern Japan?
They had to import horses from the U.S. to have enough on the set.
The look on Hidetora's face at 6:06 to the end as he emerges from the burning castle is so haunting, he is more ghost than man
I can imagine having an actual castle burning down in the background really motivates you to get the shot right the first time. There's only so much castle for you to shoot in front of.
Ran is the best movie of all time. Akira Kurosawa splendidly tells one of the oldest and most ancient stories of humanity. in a word, magnificent.
The women shielding him with their bodies from the gunshots and the two stabbing each other and the older one putting her head on an upturned knife. No words can describe the atmosphere it creates
That's japan's pride for you.😂
The horrors of diabolical war, stunningly beautiful and hypnotically intense, this haunting cinematic jewel is dazzling and mesmerizing trance inducing radiance
and its a real burning castle not cgi.
This movie is likely the most influential movie (on me at least) I possibly ever saw, it's THE movie that made me decide I want to write movies.
Amazing score by Toru Takemitsu.
For me, the best scene was the beheading of the Lady Kaede, who goaded two out of the 3 sons to plot against their father. Only one remained loyal but his blunt honesty caused him to be banished and disgraced. Kaede manipulated the two sons to exact revenge on the old man who massacred her family. Come to think of it, the old man's 3 daughters-in-law all belonged to three noble families that he destroyed and annihilated.
and as despicable and conniving as Lady Kaede is, she was entirely justified in her quest to destroy House Ichimonji. What a cinematic triumph.
@@ryguy081399 In destroying the house prob but Sue had nothing to do with her revenge.
Im so jealous of people who have seen this movie in theatres
Impeccable cinematic film
6:13 The troops are dumbfounded and think it is his spirit since it cannot be that he has not executed his sepuku suicide, a fear of the other world.
Genius and Magical movie. A must watch film. Shared this movie with my mum and she loved it.
I love the stone work, Amazing!
The burning castle scene is one of the coolest shots in the history of film imo. Hauntingly depressing
4:01 The right guy's eye is closing.....😂
A masterpiece. Hollywood movies can't comepete the realism of this movie !
Madman "Akira" he literally burnt down the sets he built for this movie.
An incredible work!
Thank you !
Now you know where George Lucas got the idea for the Darth Vader head piece in Star Wars. From the Samurais.
and nazis
Every thing is the same even the cinematography. It’s like he just stole his whole style lol 😂
@@lordmegatron4789 lol he said darth vaders helmet not the empire overall. unless ur talking ab stahlhelms which arent nazi
@@ookie4179Word for word, bar for bar!!
One of Kurosawa's World Class Movies
I love this movie!
KUROSAWA ❤️
For me shot of the white sky spoke “this is a bloody day in history.” I mean with so many killed maybe that’s why the sky is stained with the color of souls while the earth is red. I can’t believe I’ve lived 31 years on this earth without watching this movie in it’s entirety
Kurosawa used white flour mixed with dirt to get that dust/smoke effect of people and horses running.
Let's just pause and appreciate that Kurosawa was in his early 80s when he made this epic.
I love this movie
色彩麗美な「乱」が、白黒映画の代表格「七人の侍」「隠し砦の三悪人」「蜘蛛の巣城」「用心棒」と比べると興味深いストーリーの運び、斬新な画面、際立つキャラクターなど白黒映画に軍配を上げてしまう。ただ、乱が劣るのかと言えば、それも違うような気がする。テーマのにらみ方が、晩年の黒澤明監督は白黒映画の隆盛期と違って、エンターテイメントとして昇華する技術を持ちながら、自身の抽象的観念の映像に取り組み過ぎて、ストーリーが追いついていないように思う。ただ、精巧で華麗な美術と重厚な映像は、美術品並みの力を感じる。これだけの美術設計とそれに見合う映像美は、CGを使わずに映画にできる監督は現在数は少ないと思う。
晩年の作品群は映像的美術工芸品。
すべてが写るカラー化という意味では監督は思う存分撮ったはず。
海外での評価もそこにあるように思う。
The shear amount of moving parts really is impressive in some of the shots. I felt similar about Come and See, so check that out if you havent.
To make Ran and Kagemusha at the end of one's career? Amazing.
No cgi those are real bodies , ICONIC
Ran is the coolest film that exists.. Hollywood is never going to be able to touch it
😅 EVER
5:20 Pai Mei having a bad hair day
Cool
great film sad ending though :(
Waw! 6.16sec it's insane!!!!
A Masterpiece. Domo arigato gozaimashita, Kurosawa Sensei.
finally at this 2020 era, I didn't even know that Ran was focused by many people.. a foreign people. it's too late.
serch Life work of Akira Kurosawa
Better than Marvel Movies
I feel like this kind of filmmaker is dead forever. The brilliant expressionistic art direction. The astounding ambition and commitment to vision. Itnresulted in a truly and inexplicably breathtaking work of art. Every frame of this movie is brilliant - beautiful, interesting, and perfect. Each one is worthy of framing. A doubt a more beautiful film will ever be made.
🥺😭😭😭😭😭🙏
4:12 someone hates Mondays
If breaking the three arrows isnt foreshadowing then
6:04
George Lucas reacting to the sad state of Disney Run LucasFilms.....
You don't know what to say about this... Other than watch the full film... I myself will say... "I love this frickin' movie" Kurosawa is God. Enough said... And on the side watch his movie "Dreams".
Alungoo ekhiin domog shig
Although this movie could be too lengthy and boring at some points, but the cinematography is marvelous. A truly masterpiece.
boring? too lengthy?. Hollywood shitty films has destroyed you.
Marvel movies that last for 3 hours are lengthy and boring. That shit have the nerve to last for eternity when they don't have any substance to begin with.
Every single shot in this movie has a purpose. Marvelous visual storytelling.
@@carlosluismendez7392 Indeed. He probably thinks Lawrence of Arabia does not have enough car crashes!
Boring? Haha
LOL...at 4:00, the dead guy on the lower right side stabbed by the katana, closes his eyes .....isn't he dead?...i found an easter egg there....
YESS i thought i was the only one who noticed
1:27 そういう話をしているんじゃないんだよｗ
Amazing movie but did anyone think the jester character at 2:07 was kindof annoying
He is playing the character from King Lear.
Maybe to show more contrast between the village idiot and the strong samaurai warriors.
サンフレッチェ‼️
毛利元就の教えじゃん
武田 秀吉 織田 他、色々混ざってたんだね
あとリア王
I prefer "Walked"

The point being the female protagonist is on of the mist important aspects of the story.. nevemind the transgegend actors... 😅. We are all racists. 😅
1st and 2nd son are stupid.😂
It's a spectacularly beautiful film but the incredibly bad acting ruins it for me.
1:15 He cheated by using his leg.
