    It is with great sadness I inform you that the great Tatsuya Nakadai has died. You might remember me mentioning him frequently during Kurosawa Month when I reviewed every Kurosawa movie. Nakadai was the face of the director's later works, incl. my favorite "Ran." We will never see such talent again.

    Lucas, Coppola, and Scorsese were all major supporters of Kurosawa during his long decades in exile from the Japanese studio system. As a result we got two of his greatest films: Kagemusha and Ran. Scorsese even cameos in Kurosawa's surreal film Dreams as Van Gogh.

    I saw someone legitimately proclaim that the spinning top at the end of Inception was because Christopher Nolan RAN OUT OF FILM and just left that in.

    If you like films, I can recommend the Sky Arts series of Classic Movies. I've just watched the programme on Kurosawa's Ran. Very good on a superb film.

    I saw Ran for the first time last night, and on the big screen no less. Is it the best looking film ever made? Maybe. Turns out that Kurosawa guy ain't bad!

    It's been interesting seeing Detective Conan mostly through the movies because they make Shinichi's relationship with Ran look SO bad. In this movie, Ran tells Shinichi that she's frustrated he's not there when she needs him, and he hangs up on her lmao

    Ran across a random referring to Onslaught (2026) as a "reddit-ass movie" and every time I see a new movie referred to as "reddit" I get more and more confused as to what the fuck that even means in the context of films. 😂

    Detective Conan Movie 1: The Time-Bombed Skyscraper This held up even better than I remember... even though my brain was conflating it with Countdown to Heaven. Every bit of the film is super rock solid and enjoyable, but when the 3rd act hits, it shoots into the moon. Ran is the greatest woman ever

    #Ran (1985) just discovered that it is on Tubi! Great film. Ruling is all fun and games until rulership passes to the offspring! Guessing the kingdom turned out to be much smaller than he remembered.

    My dad took me to see it in theaters (I LOVED dinosaurs) and his favorite story to tell people is how I RAN out of the packed theater when the handler gets his arm mauled at the beginning of the movie, and he couldn't get me to come back in. But I was somehow fine watching it on VHS repeatedly! 😂

    A good film, full of detail and historical verisimilitude, but painfully long without needing to be. I've already seen two of Akira Kurosawa's most renowned films and, quite frankly, I still can't understand why this Japanese director is so commonly considered a cinematic genius. His films are quite good, they're meticulous, there's a lot of attention to detail, but they're not particularly unforgettable… that's what I think. This film is an adaptation of the plot of “King Lear”, by…
