i just watched 'Seven Samurai', it was brilliant. Can anyone suggest some other good samurai films? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know many samurai films but i know these are good: Twilight Samurai is meant to be excelent. Zatoichi Also watch everything Kurasowa has directed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i seen zatoichi when it was in the cinema, it was class. pretty bizarre blend of dancing and swords. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's all about Yojimbo. And even more often, it's all about Toshiro Mifune. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also Shogun is said to be one of the best mini-series ever made, i haven't seen it yet but it looks very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just read a review on yojimbo, it looks class, will look into getting it, not seen that many good films recently |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the last samurai it's actually good if you ignore all the white men in it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah...last samurai really surprised me, as i went in hating cruise and exploitation of other cultural dealies...but i could not hate that movie, no matter how hard i tried...i think i shed a tear when they died by the blooming tree.. OPZ SPOILER!! LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didnt watch it cause i dont like tom cruise, appart from when he was in 'magnolia', that was actually very comical. 'respect the cock' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you liked the seven samurai, you'd probably enjoy director . basically, they're all classics. my favorite samurai films (in no particular order): Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Throne Of Blood, Ran, Rashomon. he also directed High and Low, Ikiru, and Red Beard, which are all great as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the one with tom cruise ofcourse!!! i haven't seen it yet, but they tell me im going to like it coz im in love with tom cruise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by the sounds of it kurosawa is a bit of a genuis, any other directors to look out for? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
james cameron comes to mind... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i like rambo 2 if only for humour, the guy can write some cheese |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you see titanic?? cameron is the king of the world! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck titanic! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see...alright then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ran is a fucking BRILLIANT MOVIE. I forgot all about that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its a tenner in hmv the now, think ill buy ran, thats a couple of uz sayin its great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, kurosawa is widely regarded as one of the more influential directors ever. it's hard to compare him with other directors, but a lot of american directors have been influenced by him and copied his work. my 3 favorite directors ever are kurosawa, and |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have ran on divx...it comes cheaper. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
definitely - that's a great film! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nive pick on fellini there!!!!! amarcord is probably my favourite film!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nive=nice ahh... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is fellini's best film? my favourite directore are david lynch and sergio leone |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its not in the classic samurai flick style, but The Last Samurai was spectacular. i loved the score. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
david lynch is another favorite of mine. i love his films. fellini's best? i can't choose! try amarcord and 8 1/2 for starters. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Other asian directors that are excelent, along with their best film imo. Wong Kar Wai - Chungking Express Hideo Nakata - Dark Water Takeshi Miike - Audition Zhang Yimou - Raise the Red Lantern and Hero |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anyone seen Shogun? It stars Toshiro Mifune! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does anyone else appreciate the comic genius of clint eastwood |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
david lynch is brilliant, still to get twin peaks, but it is on my wish list |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wong Kar Wai is probably the best out of those, probably the most highly rated asian director of the last decade |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really liked darkwater it was dead creepy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
audition was just fucking insane |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
By Shogun you mean the old mini-series? If so, yes I have. And it rules. I read the book too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i think Takeshi Miike is a bit hit and miss tho, Audition is awesome but i'd like him to spend a bit more time on his films. He probably makes 10 films in the time it takes Wong Kar Wai to make one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favorite wong kar wai is also check out has done a lot of great films as well - audition was great, happiness of the katakuris, ichi the killer... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah the mini-series, bought it for my mom's b'day, still waiting for it to come through the post. I also ordered the sequel by Clavell, 'Tai Pan' which i've heard is even better than Shogun. Can't wait to see Shogun though, haven't seen it before, my mother is always going on about how good it is and that she actually learnt some japanese by watching it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here's an excellent film, especially for fans of wong kar wai, imo, that i don't think has gotten enough recognition - |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got 'As tears go by' and 'Happy together' to watch just as soon as i get some free time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got told not to buy ichi the killer, i got told it is the most vile film ever created |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not at all, its a bit gory but not in a realistic way (mostly), I loved it first time i watched it but its appeal has kind of worn off. Still, its a good film to watch once. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it isn't...some wicked scenes, but appart from that is nothing special... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my mate told me he felt sick and couldnt finnish watchin it, then returned it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would also be remiss if i didn't mention who directed Gemini and Tetsuo: The Iron Man. both incredible films. i think as a david lynch fan, you'd love them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love the start of yojimbo when the little dog trots past carrying a human hand! ninja scroll ghost dog!!! jarmusch and theres some goos french ones about. . . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's one of my favorite parts too! that was so awesome |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ghostttt Doggg! Awesome soundtrack for that movie by RZA |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
