      I lived and worked in Japan in the 90s, and it was then that I first saw Sanada-san's acting. He quickly became one of my favorite actors in Japan. Since then, I've been excited to watch his career growing in Japan and overseas. This new project is a great achievement for him. Congratulations to Sanada-san and the entire team working with him to bring the novel, Shogun, to life.

    真田さんが活躍の場をハリウッドに移してから20年、ようやく努力が報われましたね。今までの外国映画の偽物の日本像には辟易している日本人が大半で、現実に即さない変な描写がある度にもはや反論する気にもなれず「またか。」と溜息しか出ませんでしたが、今作は日本人俳優やスタッフ、そして真田さんがプロデューサーを務めていることもあり、日本人が眉を顰めるような表現や描写がほとんど無く、本当に素晴らしいです。私は戦国時代にあまり詳しくないので当時の文化を調べてみようという意欲が湧いてきました。

    They were filming here in Taranaki. We got to take pics with him and other cast members of the Last Samurai.
    He was very gracious and spoke about the spiritual aspect of our land. Our ancestral mountain: Mt. Taranaki, doubled as Mt. Fuji in tLS.

    I was 20 when the Shogun miniseries came out and at the time everyone liked it, but this series blows it out of the water! It’s a work of art and I love how the women’s roles are very well written and acted. All due to Hiroyuki’s involvement as a Producer. I hope Hollywood lets him do much more. I loved him in Westworld too.

    When I was 12 years old in 1989 I watched "Ninja in the Dragon's den" where Sanada played ninja. He was a young actor but full of charisma. His marital arts skills are amazing. He and Conan Lee made this movie one of the best martial arts movies till our days. Today I am 47 years old and still keep watching this movie form time to time.

Think about it, we've seen JET LI, DONNIE YEN, JACKIE CHAN, and TONY JAI, all STAR in THEIR OWN recent martial arts movies.
    I don't count a feature role in something like Mortal Combat/47 Ronin, and I'm not talking about the movies he made back in the day. I'm talking RECENT/NOW. BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE SOMEONE, ANYONE give this FANTASTIC MARTIAL ARTISTS his own MARTIAL ARTS ACTION MOVIE!

      とても驚きました…全く同じ事を感じて下さった方がいらっしゃった事に…
      ずっと、ずっとそう思って来た真田さんのファンです…
      彼は幼い頃にスクリーンデビューし、その後、様々な武道、スタント、アクション、殺陣(刀を使った戦い方の型)はもう40年以上の鍛練を積み、茶道や日本舞踊も…ミュージカルに舞台、シェイクスピア演劇も…本当に沢山の訓練を積み高いSKILLを持つ素晴らしい俳優です…あの「ラスト・サムライ」に出演して、ハリウッドからその高い実力を認められ、沢山のオファーが来て、真田さんはハリウッドへと…ですから、私はハリウッドが真田さんの実力を十分に見せてくれる作品を作ってくれるとずっと信じて待っておりましたが…20年もの長い間、それは作られる事はありませんがでした…いつも主役の訓練に時間を費やしたり、2番手3番手で、作品にその存在感を必要としてオファーされたり…真田さんのファンとしては、とても虚しい日々でした…「将軍」のヒットは嬉しいですが、ほんとうは、真田さんがもっと若い全盛の頃に代表作となる様な作品をハリウッドに作って欲しかったです…それだけが残念でなりません…同じ事を思って下さった方がいらっしゃった事に感動しました🙏❇️❇️嬉しかったです🙏❇️

    • @木村典子-v6e
      @木村典子-v6e 3 місяці тому

      もう1つ言わせて頂くと…ラスト・サムライがあれだけ日本でヒットしたのも、真田さんのハリウッドへの貢献があっての事です…それまでずっと、誤解された日本を描かれて来た事に真田さんは黙っていられず、これが最初で最後のハリウッド映画になってもいいと色々とおかしな所を指摘し
      たと…その後、制作側から声をかけられて仕上げ作業の為にロスへ行って半年間、真田さんは仕上げ作業に携わったのに…作品のエンド・クレジットに真田さんの名前はなかったのです…その後真田さんが言っておりました…半年間、ロスに自腹ですよ!と…つまりギャラは払われなかったという事です…
      真田さんの貢献がなかったら、あれ程の大ヒットには繋がらなかったと感じています…日本では、ずっとハリウッドが描く日本は全く違う物という意識がありましたから…私も真田さんが関わった作品という事があったので映画館に足を運びましたから…そういう人は沢山いたと思います…ハリウッドとはそういう所、と思わされました…🙏✨✨

    2:25 exactly same thoughts I have, I’ve been seeing Hiroyuki Sanda-san in the Hollywood as supporting character along side bigger more known Hollywood stars like Tom Cruise, Keanu, and Hugh Jackman if not, he’s more of villain or cameo, although sometimes he stole the show like in Bullet Train, and I think for a veteran actor/action star like him, he deserve better, while he is still in his A-Game, so he finally got more, and a deserved recognition, and of course thanks to FX and Shogun production for hiring Hiroyuki Sanada-san
