Essential Samurai-kino?
I am about to watch pic related, which I hear is pretty good.
>>72030719
just shut up and watch that it's a lot of fun. the sequel Sanjuro is good too.
>>72030755
I'll get that too then. Didn't know there was a sequel, thank anon.
Anything else?
Pretty much anything with Mifune is good
>>72030936
Is the Shogun mini series good?
Also I saw a clip(I think with Mifune) where two samurai draw swords and this guy is quicker and there's a lot of comical blood, is that one of these two?
>>72030936
He's shit in Seven Samurai, where he plays a Jar-Jar Binks type of character.
He was probably the inspiration for Jar-Jar. George is a big Kurosawa fan, after all.

>le seven samurai wasn't that good
Go there

This and Sanjuro were what Sergio Leone's "Fist Full of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More" with Clint Eastwood were based on.
>>72031378
He didn't say that though, he said Mifune's character was bad
>>72030719
last 15 minutes of sword of doom is GOAT as is the last 15 minutes of harakiri
In the 60s and 70s some samurai films started to be influenced by spaghetti westerns and a lot of hyper violence and really cool gritty cinematography. I have only seen one and sadly I don't remember its name but I recommend you look into that era
Also Harakiri is a great non-Kurosawa samurai film, I think you will like it a lot but don't expect a ton of action. The original btw, not the remake

Yeah, I heard about the lawsuit so that's why I am trying them out. I hear they are better than those westerns anway
>>72031378
Did you watch the film more than once? Be honest now.
Actually, don't bother. Because the answer is no, you didn't. It's a overlong snoozefest with an irritating as fuck comic-relief character (the proto-Jar Jar).
The battle at the end is pretty good, though.

It's ok, chamberlain can't act though kinda brings the production down
>>72031426
I'll get those too and try them out. Is the buildup what makes them good or what
>>72031338
Dude, he's not even the comic relief. That's Heihatchi. He's literally the protagonist our the movie. "This was not our victory, it was their victory". He's a drunk peasant posing as a saumrai who, over the course of the movie, develops into everything he was pretending to be and dies a hero.
>Japanese shit
>anything approaching kino
>>72031429
Not exactly looking for action, just good movies. Any suggestions outside of samurai
>>72031440
They're both good in their own ways but I agree, the original Kurosawa films are better. It's interesting though to watch an Italian director's interpretation of the American West, especially "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" which takes place during the American Civil War.

I've seen those movies many times. They are pretty good. I want to watch things most people haven't though, I am tired of the same movies all the time
>>72031620
If you want to see a western that is much better than Leone's work check out The Great Silence, it is essentially the antithesis of the man with no name character and everything Leone stood for, highly suggest it
>>72031534
>Dude, he's not even the comic relief.
Dude, he's literally prancing his way the film, whooping and cunting about like a court jester.

Ran is pure kino unironically
>>72031708
He doesn't quip and has a ton of character development, comparing him to Jar-Jar is just unfair.
>>72031718
Boy, /tv/ has a guide for everything
I've only seen Princess Mononoke and 13 Assassins. I guess I have some watching to do this weekend.
>>72030719
I liked 13 Assasins; it was prettyfun
>>72031544
>Everybody must like a particular movie or they're accused of baiting.
If he didn't like the movie, he didn't like the movie; that plain and simple.
>>72031441
>Did you watch the film more than once? Be honest now.
Literally every time it comes on TMC, turbopleb.
>>72031718
I would add the Hanzo the Razor trilogy and Kagemusha
>>72030719
Go find some Zatoichi movies. Based blind samurai.
