He was simply the sweetest, humblest, loveliest man. So funny and joking and thoughtful in real life, and a master actor. A true class act. We never saw a man like him before and probably won't, ever again.
I totally agree with you! He was unique. Once you've seen him on screen and heard his voice, you can't forget him. Have you ever heard him sing? I found a song he recorded at the beginning of the 50's. I don't know the context except that you can hear birds and woodcutters behind him. What a beautiful voice! Deep. Very beautiful! I would have loved to share it with you but it seems I can't share files on RUclips...If you are interested, you can contact me. My email address is on my channel.
@@DanPhantomFan Yes, indeed! A very beautiful and powerful voice! I posted a video about his talents as a singer, a dancer and a musician 2 weeks ago but, unfortunately, even if RUclips told me it was ok for the copyrights, Toho studios blocked my video...for an obscur movie from 1952 (when all movies before 1954 are free of rights).

I forgot this one, one of my favorite because acting without speaking, only with his eyes, was Mifune's trademark! ruclips.net/video/1x3E5ZExV5w/видео.html
Mifune was such a versatile actor. The fact he could be serious in a role or hilarious or even cheeky like that one moment in Yojimbo, I’m convinced he could play anything
You're absolutely right. He was versatile and very bold. It was not common back in 1955 for a 35 years old actor (and a good-looking one!) to play a 70 years old man like he did in Kurosawa's "I live in fear". Everything his character was doing, he was doing it for real: singing, playing music instruments (the taiko scene at the end of "The rickshaw man" is extraordinary), painting, fighting with real swords and spears, doing his own stunts of course, etc...If you want to see more great scenes, sometimes from movies never released outside Japan or not for a long time, I invite you to watch my best videos: Toshiro Mifune's collaboration with directors Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto. Also the video about his mexican movie, "Animas Trujano", a role that no one else could play with such intensity, the video about "Hell in the Pacific" and the last one, maybe my best in terms of editing, about one of his favorite roles: Lord Washizu in "Throne of blood". The next video will be about "The hidden fortress".
Thank you for your comment. I agree with you. Mifune Toshiro was humble and very sweet. He worked hard. People like him are very rare today. You are welcome on the channel to see other videos I made for the 100th anniversary of his birth. The last ones are about his work with Inagaki Hiroshi, Taniguchi Senkichi and Okamoto Kihachi. And I made one about his work with children. He was very good with children and babies.
I totally understand you. Toshiro Mifune was one of the best actors ever, if not the best. He could play any role, from poor and kind taxi driver to traumatized old man, from mighty general to humble rickshaw man, from yakusa to japanese god, from surgeon to servant, from engineer to war pilot. He was extremely bold, and opened new path for generations of actors, even if nobody today seem to remember. His intensity, his integrity and courage, his humility, have no comparison in the History of Cinema. He was also very respectful, hard-working, polite and funny. I invite you to watch my videos about his collaborations with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto. Also the video about "Animas Trujano", his first non-japanese movie, one of his best roles. And the two "trailers" for "Throne of blood" and "Hell in the Pacific". The next video will be a trailer for "The hidden fortress".
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I don't speak japanese (I'm learning). I think that I understand what you said and I agree with you. Toshiro Mifune was very special and no one can replace him, even imitate him. It's impossible. And yes he was very funny. If you want to see other sides of his work, please take a look at my other videos about him, for exemple: ruclips.net/video/rfqp-B-XU-I/видео.html or the 2 videos with women: ruclips.net/video/O3nGwyGKAj4/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/bUWTNtGKZ6U/видео.html and this video about the way he acted without speaking, only with his eyes: www.youtube.com/watch? v=1x3E5ZExV5w
@@みーちゃん-f7q Our world needs men like Toshiro Mifune but nobody can replace him. Being not a Japanese, I hope my work does justice to this remarquable man. I started to make those videos to honor his memory and to show his work to my students. They didn't knew Toshiro Mifune. They never heard of him. Sad, isn't it? So I told them what I know about him and they saw a few movies: "Seven samurai", "Yojimbo", "Rashomon"...They were very surprised. And now, they understand how special and important Toshiro Mifune was in the History of Cinema.
Thank you very much! This is one of my first videos and I had not many movies in my collection at the time. Maybe I should do now a second one on the subject :-) I invite you to watch more recent videos, and to this day my best editing works: the videos about Toshiro Mifune's collaboration with directors Okamoto (my best one, especially the second part), Taniguchi and Inagaki. Also, the video about "Animas Trujano", his mexican movie, and the trailers for "Hell in the Pacific", "Throne of blood" and "Stray dog".
Yes, you're right, this scene is fantastic. Kikuchiyo's character is so complex! Certainly the most complex and rich character of the History of Cinema. Not only because of Kurosawa Akira's writing, but much more because of Mifune Toshiro's genius. He gives so much of himself to that character, he is so bold in his way to act. No other actor can take his place in any of his movies. It's impossible, his way of acting is too personal and rich. The emotions on his face are so subtles and so many! I've never seen someone who can convey so many emotions without saying anything. He is unique! You are welcome on the channel to watch other videos I made to honor him and his work. The 4 last videos are about his collaboration with directors Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto. They are certainly my best work in terms of editing. Thank you for your comment anyway!
Thank you for your comment! Yes, Toshiro Mifune was a wonderful human being, very sweet, shy and humble in real life, generous, funny, dedicated to his work and always working hard to achieve prefection. He truly lived his roles, adding so much, each time, to the character, that nobody can replace him in a remake of one of his movies. He was also extremely handsome. If you want to watch other great scenes and rare footage from movies never released outside Japan or not for a long time, take a look at my videos about his collaboration with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto, and the video about "Animas Trujano", his mexican movie, one of his best roles. He's fantastic in it! Also, the two videos called "Toshiro Mifune and women" (1and 2). The second one (a special order from a fan, using Adele's song for "Skyfall") is full of rare footage from his youth.
Toshiro Mifune was a very funny man who loved to make people laugh, often poking fun at himself. It was his true nature and he said more than once that his role in "Seven samurai" was very much like him in real life. But he could also be more somber. I invite you to watch my videos about his work with directors Okamoto (especially the second part, after 3 minutes until the end), Inagaki and Taniguchi, and of course about his work with Kurosawa. They give, I hope, a good idea of the wide range of emotions he could master in front of the camera.
Yes indeed! He's like a child in many ways, and his way to interact with children says a lot about the character. But at the end, he sacrifices himself like the hero he truly is. This character is certainly the most complex character in the whole History of Cinema. Toshiro Mifune brings so much of himself in Kikuchiyo. He is amazing. I saw your art. I'm an art teacher and a painter myself, if you want I can give you some advice.
@@Artdesignandcinema Thank you very much. Have you seen my portfolio website? It's got some Seven Samurai art. tamsinparker.wixsite.com/mysite-2/digital-artwork

You're welcome to watch the other videos about Toshiro Mifune on the channel (especially the 4 last videos, about his collaboration with directors Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto). I subscribed to your channel.
Toshiro Mifune was a very funny man. All the scenes, like this one, from "Seven samurai" are his own interpretation of the character. He knew the screenplay by heart but in front of the camera, he was acting as he wanted, always perfectly in tune with the other actors, and with a timing nobody else had to that point. If you want to see other great scenes and rare footage, take a look at the videos about his collaboration with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto, and the video about his mexican movie, "Animas Trujano", a role that nobody else could play with such intensity.
We both celebrate the same Birthday! My Man Tishiro! Wish I could have met you and spent some time with you. He and Charles Bronson are two of my favorites especially in the film The Red Sun! "Charles' I can see you are getting tired... we'll call it a draw. Hahaha😁🤗❤️🔥🌞 April 1.
3:08 that whole scene is hilarious. The way the unsuspecting enemy casually hands over the musket for Kikuchiyo to inspect it, only to hand it right back. Good stuff. "Go hang yourself" in Yojimbo also go a genuine lol out of me
This is a whole other side to.Mifune-sama that most western audiences almost never get to see. Mostly its the gruff,reserved samurai..or a military officer,but here we see him laughing,teasing, very human and approachable. Just dont piss him off.
@@Artdesignandcinema He once appeared as a samurai on a comedian television show called Drifters. I think there is a video somewhere, but I can't find it.
@@壺義春 Oh yes I saw it! With a spear...Yes. There were many children in the audience if I remember correctly. he was always so nice with children. I made a video about him playing with children. Great chemistry, always.
I'm not sure to know what movie you are talking about. Toshiro Mifune appeared in a few movies about judo and was very talented in that specific martial art. He was great in "A man in the storm", directed by Senkichi Taniguchi in 1957 for example. Or in "Sanshiro Sugata", directed by Seiichiro Uchikawa in 1965. But it's not the core of his work as martial artist. He was essentially a swordman, and one of the best ever, using real swords in front of the camera. You're welcome on the channel to see other videos about his art. I made them for the 100th anniversary of his birth. The last 2, about his collaboration with directors Okamoto and Taniguchi are among my best.
I decided not to add "1941" because it didn't give Mifune Toshiro enough space to act and be funny. His role is very small too. Personally, I don't like this movie.
Vous avez raison! Mais ce n'est pas que dans le cinéma japonais d'aujourd'hui, c'est dans le cinéma occidental aussi: on a remplacé des acteurs très masculins, comme Toshiro Mifune, John Wayne, Jean Gabin, Charles Bronson, Kirk Douglas...par des acteurs vides (mais qui passent leurs journées à gonfler leurs muscles pectoraux dans les salles de gym). Je crois que c'est un problème d'époque. Les acteurs que j'ai cités avaient vécu avant d'être acteurs, ils avaient eu des vies difficiles. Toshiro Mifune savait ce que cela veut dire d'avoir faim, il a connu cela après la guerre. C'était des hommes qui travaillaient dur. Ils n'avaient pas peur d'avoir mal. Ils étaient vrais. Aujourd'hui, beaucoup d'acteurs ne sont plus que des couvertures de magazine, ils sont lisses et sans intérêt. Mais il en reste quelques uns, comme Christian Bale, qui sont intéressants (curieusement, l'acteur préféré de Christian Bale, son modèle, est...Toshiro Mifune!). Ils sont rares.
Christian Bale does a good job. Japanese movies have died since the 1970s. A puppy face idol is appointed in the movie made. Movie companies are aimed at young female audiences. A movie company cannot compete with the power of the script and the power of the actor. There are no movie actors in Japan right now.
@@webmarch06 I agree about Christian Bale. He's dedicated to his work and a real good actor. Hugh Jackman is good too but Bale is certainly one of the few excellent actors today, with that fire inside of him that Toshiro Mifune had. This is sad that Japanese Cinema is dead. French Cinema is too, it's unbeleavable.The mediocrity of direction, the poor scripts and most of the time very bad acting...Our last great director was Jean-Pierre Jeunet and to me, the last great french movie was his movie, "A very long engagement" in 2002. You are welcome on the channel to watch the other videos I made to honor Toshiro Mifune's memory, for the 100th anniversary of his birth. The 4 last ones are about his collaboration with Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto. I prepare a video about his wonderful duo with the great Takashi Shimura.
I was impressed to see "A very long engagement" about 15 years ago. I also like Luc Besson's work. Alain Delon's "Plein Soleil" is famous in Japan. My favorite is Orson Welles, Akira Kurosawa and John Ford. The Japanese know little about Welles and don't even refer to it. I think American and European writers have learned a lot from the great writers of the past. Thank you for your reply. I will also watch other videos.
@@webmarch06 Jean-Pierre Jeunet had a lot of success but the French Academy of Film destroyed him when "A very long engagement" was released. The movie was made by french people, with french actors (except Jodie Foster but she speaks French extremely well) on french soil, telling a french story. The Academy said that since 15% of the budget was american, it was an american movie! So, even if it was the greatest success in 2002, and potential Oscar material, the movie didn't win anything. I don't know why they decided to put an end to Jeunet's career. He was really the best director in France, better than Besson. Certainly, some people were jealous of his talent. To my opinion, Besson's best movies are "The professional", "Subway" and "The fifth element". His problem is with scenario. He's not very good at writing stories. I agree with you about Welles, Kurosawa and Ford, all 3 very important directors in the History of Cinema. John Boorman's "Hell in the Pacific" with Mifune Toshiro and Lee Marvin is a very underrated Mifune's movie. I don't understand why, it is the essence of cinema: an almost silent movie. The restoration is spectacular. I wish it would be the same with every Mifune's movie...
The man's a clown with a Katana. He just proved that you can be a goof and still retain your honor which is more than I can say about our male heroes who get disgraced in SJW films in America.
"Yojimbo" is nice too. Less epic though, more human maybe. Feel free to watch my video about "Throne of blood". I succeeded in making Toshiro Mifune walk or move on the rhythm of my music (and I can assure you that it was not easy) :-))
He was simply the sweetest, humblest, loveliest man. So funny and joking and thoughtful in real life, and a master actor. A true class act. We never saw a man like him before and probably won't, ever again.

But it's not the core of his work as martial artist. He was essentially a swordman, and one of the best ever, using real swords in front of the camera. You're welcome on the channel to see other videos about his art. I made them for the 100th anniversary of his birth. The last 2, about his collaboration with directors Okamoto and Taniguchi are among my best.
「1941」は入ってないのね。
正しいと思います。
I decided not to add "1941" because it didn't give Mifune Toshiro enough space to act and be funny. His role is very small too. Personally, I don't like this movie.
今の日本映画はメスの子犬みたいな顔ばっかりで、どうしちゃったんだろ。
Vous avez raison! Mais ce n'est pas que dans le cinéma japonais d'aujourd'hui, c'est dans le cinéma occidental aussi: on a remplacé des acteurs très masculins, comme Toshiro Mifune, John Wayne, Jean Gabin, Charles Bronson, Kirk Douglas...par des acteurs vides (mais qui passent leurs journées à gonfler leurs muscles pectoraux dans les salles de gym). Je crois que c'est un problème d'époque. Les acteurs que j'ai cités avaient vécu avant d'être acteurs, ils avaient eu des vies difficiles. Toshiro Mifune savait ce que cela veut dire d'avoir faim, il a connu cela après la guerre. C'était des hommes qui travaillaient dur. Ils n'avaient pas peur d'avoir mal. Ils étaient vrais. Aujourd'hui, beaucoup d'acteurs ne sont plus que des couvertures de magazine, ils sont lisses et sans intérêt. Mais il en reste quelques uns, comme Christian Bale, qui sont intéressants (curieusement, l'acteur préféré de Christian Bale, son modèle, est...Toshiro Mifune!). Ils sont rares.
Christian Bale does a good job.
Japanese movies have died since the 1970s.
A puppy face idol is appointed in the movie made.
Movie companies are aimed at young female audiences.
A movie company cannot compete with the power of the script and the power of the actor.
There are no movie actors in Japan right now.
@@webmarch06 I agree about Christian Bale. He's dedicated to his work and a real good actor. Hugh Jackman is good too but Bale is certainly one of the few excellent actors today, with that fire inside of him that Toshiro Mifune had. This is sad that Japanese Cinema is dead. French Cinema is too, it's unbeleavable.The mediocrity of direction, the poor scripts and most of the time very bad acting...Our last great director was Jean-Pierre Jeunet and to me, the last great french movie was his movie, "A very long engagement" in 2002.
You are welcome on the channel to watch the other videos I made to honor Toshiro Mifune's memory, for the 100th anniversary of his birth. The 4 last ones are about his collaboration with Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto. I prepare a video about his wonderful duo with the great Takashi Shimura.
I was impressed to see "A very long engagement" about 15 years ago.
I also like Luc Besson's work. Alain Delon's "Plein Soleil" is famous in Japan.
My favorite is Orson Welles, Akira Kurosawa and John Ford.
The Japanese know little about Welles and don't even refer to it.
I think American and European writers have learned a lot from the great writers of the past.
Thank you for your reply. I will also watch other videos.
@@webmarch06 Jean-Pierre Jeunet had a lot of success but the French Academy of Film destroyed him when "A very long engagement" was released. The movie was made by french people, with french actors (except Jodie Foster but she speaks French extremely well) on french soil, telling a french story.
The Academy said that since 15% of the budget was american, it was an american movie! So, even if it was the greatest success in 2002, and potential Oscar material, the movie didn't win anything. I don't know why they decided to put an end to Jeunet's career. He was really the best director in France, better than Besson. Certainly, some people were jealous of his talent.
To my opinion, Besson's best movies are "The professional", "Subway" and "The fifth element". His problem is with scenario. He's not very good at writing stories.
I agree with you about Welles, Kurosawa and Ford, all 3 very important directors in the History of Cinema.
John Boorman's "Hell in the Pacific" with Mifune Toshiro and Lee Marvin is a very underrated Mifune's movie. I don't understand why, it is the essence of cinema: an almost silent movie. The restoration is spectacular. I wish it would be the same with every Mifune's movie...
The man's a clown with a Katana. He just proved that you can be a goof and still retain your honor which is more than I can say about our male heroes who get disgraced in SJW films in America.

THRONE OF BLOOD hands down is the ultimate Manly Epic movie EVER !
"Yojimbo" is nice too. Less epic though, more human maybe. Feel free to watch my video about "Throne of blood". I succeeded in making Toshiro Mifune walk or move on the rhythm of my music (and I can assure you that it was not easy) :-))
