Does anyone have an answer as to why, particularly in Kurosawa's films, panning shots following action seem...overcranked? I've only ever noticed it on the Criterion copies I have of the films (as it's the only way I've seen them), but a lot of the time it just seems as though there's a lack of motion blur, almost as if the film is being poo poo at a different frame rate, akin to old silent comedies. I'm fairly certain it's not my player or TV settings, but I'm not sure if I'm crazy seeing it.

I'm confusing frame rate/HFR with vidyagames frame rates for equation to motion blur, but the equivalent is shutter speed/angle. There's an explanatory article about how it was used in Saving Private Ryan here: https://cinemashock.org/2012/07/30/45-degree-shutter-in-saving-private-ryan/ All the examples I can think of in Kurosawa films are Mifune running around outdoors, so I'm guessing it's a 'hack' of sorts ensuring that they weren't stuffing around with different film on location etc to keep to Toho's insane scheduling of releases and actors. I can't find anything specifically relating to Kurosawa, but I'm gonna keep looking.
