I see you are also reviewing some of his movies these days. <br />Mifune's Last Song is not my favorite movie and Iben Hjejle is not my favorite actress, but then again it has been many years since I saw the movie, so maybe it is worth a rewatch.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-35232132117694690382014-10-10T03:35:48.135+03:002014-10-10T03:35:48.135+03:00The next three Kurosawa films on the list are all ...The next three Kurosawa films on the list are all in the 1950s and I consider all of them to be better than Rashomon, as good as that film is. <br /><br />And Mifune was the first Dogme 95 film I ever saw - before I even knew what Dogme was I happened to see it. And I couldn't figure out where I had seen the actress from Mifune and when I finally realized she had been the love interest in High Fidelity I was surprised because I had not even realized she wasn't American.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-55334720291697099212014-10-09T10:24:03.831+03:002014-10-09T10:24:03.831+03:00Yes, I saw it is coming up soon.

If Rashomon is typical for what is waiting for me I can hardly wait. <br />Curiously, in the nineties there was a Danish movie that referred to Mifune, called Mifune's Last Song. That guy had quite in impact far outside Japan.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-20600105013371251762014-10-08T10:13:47.619+03:002014-10-08T10:13:47.619+03:00While I think I have always known Kurosawa I have ...While I think I have always known Kurosawa I have only seen The Seven Samurai and Ran, so I am really excited about all the Kurosawa stuff I am going to see over the coming years.<br />You are probably right about the ending. This is more or less where my own analysis have taken me. Something about that truth and humanity is a personal and individual thing and not something absolute and universal.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-36536266751516219812014-10-07T20:02:25.292+03:002014-10-07T20:02:25.292+03:00Ask me about a given director, and I can probably ...Ask me about a given director, and I can probably point to a favorite film. With Kurosawa, my favorite of his films is the last one I watched, whatever that might be (Yojimbo at the moment). Even the films of his I haven't loved (like Dersu Uzala) I've at least liked a lot.<br /><br />Marie is right--you've got a lot to look forward to. And a lot of great Mifune, too.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-66552643254342211292014-10-07T18:54:30.078+03:002014-10-07T18:54:30.078+03:00You sure have a lot of absolutely fabulous films t...You sure have a lot of absolutely fabulous films to look forward to! My interpretation of the ending is that, in spite of everything, there is still hope. Or maybe the "truth" about the woodcutter as uncovered by the hobo is not the whole truth after all? People can be both thieves and incredibly generous?<br /><br />I absolutely love this film. I think the different versions of the fight are wonderfully staged. Also the long tracking shot where the woodcutter walks through the forest is exquisite. Kurosawa was the first to shoot into the sun, I think.marie_dresslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334550550983418668noreply@blogger.com
