Two unsurpassed, greatest geniuses of Japanese and world cinema. Kurosawa could show all the beauty and power of Mifune's talent. And how handsome Mifune was in his youth, just a dazzling handsome man, a young god.
If you want to see him in his youth, I recommand that you watch the video about his collaboration with director Senkichi Taniguchi, who gave him his first important role in "Snow trail" in 1947. They worked together until 1966 but especially at the end of the 40's and during the 50's. And Toshiro Mifune was incredibly handsome at the time.
Incredible video!! The way Kurosawa harnessed Mifune's passion is so evident here. Mifune really deepened the meaning of his films. I really don't think Kurosawa would be even remotely as well-known worldwide without Mifune.
Drunken Angel is such an amazing experience in a similar way to Mean Streets in that both films feature a director casting what he probably doesn't realize will be his mainstay actor and lead for years to come. Kurosawa and Mifune are my favourite artistic duo in cinema, for certain. Both contributed so much and were of the best of their respective games.
I agree with you. In "Drunken Angel", Toshiro Mifune is already so ahead of his time in terms of acting, and also making references to the expressionist cinema of the 20's/30's, movies he certainly saw during his teenage years in Dalian. His collaboration with Kurosawa is certainly a major contribution to the History of cinema, but don't forget his work with Hiroshi Inagaki (he made 19 movies with him) or Senkichi Taniguchi (12 movies) and Kihachi Okamoto. I posted videos about his work with Inagaki and Taniguchi, the one about Okamoto's movies will be online before the end of the week.
@@dane9027 Yes, a wonderful director! He shared a small apartment with Toshiro Mifune just after the war, when Tokyo was still in ruins. And when Mifune started his own production company, he naturally produced Okamoto's movies. It seems they remained friends when a lot of other people turned their back on Toshiro Mifune at the end of the 60's. Okamoto is so good with black and white! But also in color, it's very different. I also like him very much.
@@Artdesignandcinema He, like Kurosawa, liked a lot of the classic Western stuff and films like "Kiru!" are awesome love letters to both the Samurai and Cowboy genres. I'm a fan of Mifune's performance in "Rebellion" as well, one of his most emotional yet awesome later performances. I'd have loved to have seen him in more of Kobayashi's stuff but alas.
@@dane9027 Yes, I agree with you about the western references. And when you look at "Samurai assassin" cinematography, there's a lot of Kurosawa here (for example, the first scene presenting Mifune's character, when everybody turn their heads at the same time, and him not sitting like the others, etc...). And for "Rebellion"...what an awesome movie! Mifune is extraordinary, and Nakadai has a very interesting role too. Unfortunately, I can't make a video about Mifune's work with Kobayashi, except if I make a trailer of "Rebellion". Which is maybe pointless...Anyway, I hope that you will like the Okamoto video. :-)
Je suis d'accord avec vous. Shimura Takashi était un homme exceptionnel et Mifune Toshiro a eu beaucoup de chance de le rencontrer. Je prépare une vidéo sur les très nombreux films qu'ils ont tourné ensemble.
I'm happy that you liked the video. If you want to watch other great scenes from movies sometimes very rare, never released outside Japan or not for a long time, I invite you to watch my best videos: Toshiro Mifune's collaboration with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto. Also, the video about "Animas Trujano", his mexican movie and my unofficial trailer for John Boorman's "Hell in the Pacific".
Yes, Toshiro Mifune was never paid the way he should have been. He had no impresario, no lawyer, and made his deals himself. And he certainly was too kind. He was so humble, never acting like a movie star. It is sad that such a gentle man, so hard working, so dedicated to his roles, so unique, is almost forgotten today. My videos are made to honor his memory. Take a look at my videos about his collaboration with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto. Also the videos about "Animas Trujano", "Hell in the Pacific" and "Throne of blood". those are my best works. The next one will be about a fantastic movie: "The hidden fortress".
"Sword of doom" is a movie by Kihachi Okamoto. If you want to watch clips of this movie, take a look at my video about Toshiro Mifune's work with Okamoto.

Thank you very much! Yes, those two men were meant to work together. You're perfectly right.

Bonjour,
Très belle vidéo. Et il me semble que j'ai déjà vu les sept samouraïs et Rashomon.
