It's kinda weak that Rashomon is the seconding-highest placing Kurosawa on both the critics' and directors' S&S lists. I wouldn't even put it in his top five.

Rewatched Rashomon last year. Ironically, the film was a lot different than how I remembered it. The first three stories depart from one another so significantly that, to me, it's more about how people lie and manipulate to avoid consequences for their actions rather than subjectivity and varying perceptions of events. my faves: High and Low, Seven Samurai, Ikiru, Stray Dog, Ran, Dersou Uzala (doesn't get enough love).

Uncomfortable racial supremacy overtones. Literally a bad conservative political cartoon

Christine is more interesting than I thought. it’s covering commodity fetishism, identification with and alienation from the product of your labor, and how there are roads loving everywhere so you can have a hard time running away from cars. wasp bourgeois ideals making it an embarrassment for the nerd to take shop class fear if the machine coming alive. the dead labor embodied within, hinted at in the beginning with the assembly line scene, coming back to haunt you. e: the solution really is:

Xaris posted:Treasure of the Sierra Madre  quote:playing the Mexican boy who sells Humphrey Bogart a winning lottery ticket and gets a glass of water thrown in his face by Bogart in the process.  quote:Blake played real-life murderer Perry Smith, to whom he bore a chilling resemblance. Richard Brooks received two Oscar nominations for the film quote:Both Smith and Hickock are charged with first-degree murder, found guilty on all counts, and each sentenced to death by hanging.  quote:Blake continued acting until 1997's Lost Highway. quote:In the East, the Far East, when a person is sentenced to death, they're sent to a place where they can't escape, never knowing when an executioner may step up behind them, and fire a bullet into the back of their head.  quote:In 1999, Blake met Bonny Lee Bakley, formerly of Wharton, New Jersey, who had already been married nine times and reportedly had a history of exploiting older men, especially celebrities, for money. quote:On May 4, 2001, Blake took Bakley out for dinner at Vitello's Italian Restaurant at 4349 Tujunga Avenue in Studio City, California. Bakley was fatally shot in the head while sitting in Blake's vehicle, which was parked on a side street around the corner from the restaurant, across the street and behind a dumpster next to a construction site. Blake claimed that he had returned to the restaurant to collect a pistol which he had left inside and claimed that he had not been present when the shooting took place. The pistol Blake claimed to have left in the restaurant was later found and determined by police not to be the murder weapon.[24] quote:On April 22, 2002, Blake was charged with one count of murder with special circumstances, an offense which carried a possible death penalty. He was also charged with two counts of solicitation of murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder. Blake entered a plea of not guilty  quote:When Blake was having particular difficulty with a scene, Garfield took the child star aside and gave him some advice: "Robert, remember this for the rest of your life - your life is a rehearsal, your performance is real."

loquacius posted:I've said it before but The Lion King is surprisingly right-wing, even putting aside the monarchism in a modern context yeah that's fash however In a pre modern context that's literally every single story so I'll give the original lion king a pass. They're not trying to tell a story about today or any extant point in history. They're trying to create a timeless myth and I think they succeed at that.

Ran is also really good, but it's also just King Lear, which is great if you like King Lear, but if you want something more original, there are better choices in his portfolio.

Ran is only somewhat similar to King Lear, while Throne of Blood is an actual adaptation of Macbeth. Both films are way better than the Shakespeare versions, because they have samurai and none of the gay boring dialogue. Best introductory Kurosawa is Rashomon.
