It's been decades since I've seen this miniseries, but everyone looks so different than I remember! I recognize somewhat Anjin's outfit, but the hairstyles (both men and women, including Mariko) are so different than what I thought I remembered. I don't remember the women wearing so much cosmetics. I remember what happens next in this scene, but I don't remember the room being so large or so many people in it. Memory sure can be tricky!

I have been reading Japanese medieval History since I was 18, I am now 71. I had also read James Clavel's book before this came came out. Notwithstanding some smartarse comments from a dedicated Nipponophile I thought this who show was brilliant. Without having the time to tell the whole story (it's a thick book) the costumes and characteristics of the Japanese came across really well as did Richard Chamberlin. Of course I was in love with Mariko. My current cat is called Mariko. She's a nutter and nowhere near as nice as the one here
Arigato, Leonidas-San. Domo for sharing this. I thought the show was Brilliant as well. Yes, it is over 1200 pages in Clavell's novel. I agree with your insightful words 100%! The costumes and characteristics of the Japanese people and culture caused many of us to fall in love with Japan and the Japanese people. And Richard Chamberlain did a wonderful job, as did Yoko Shimada as Mariko-San. How wonderful that your cat is named after her. What a wonderfu legacy! Arigatogozaimasu! 👍
To be fair, where Buntaro was concerned, Mariko was an unscrupulous monster. Quite an appropriate name for a cat - Cardinal Richelieu would have approved. Note that some woke have been insulting the 1980 Shogun to build up the new 2024 Shogun.
Domo Dr. Cruel-San. Excellent comments and keen insight. You are right on Mariko and Buntaro. Also, thank you for noticing that some Woke have been insulting Shogun 1980 to promote Shogun 2024. I have encountered several of them here. I am not sure if they are Trolls or AI Chatbots. Arigatogozaimasu. @@DrCruel 👍
I am! LOL. I am so disappointed with the pacing, lack of tension,, coloring, and acting of the remake that I have to keep coming back here to the true masterpiece, my first love, to get my fix!
I was only 7 when this movie came out. My uncle who served in Japan was able to Translate the Language from Japanese to English and helped my family understand what they were saying in the movie
If your uncle spent any time in Nagasaki or Hiroshima (even just driving through), he is entitled to a $75,000 bonus. Voted by Congress just after the war. May also be collected by their kids. Contact the Dept. of Defense. My Dad served in the Pacific, and I sent for his service records, but he never set foot on Japan.
@@veramae4098 the only thing I know that my uncle favor was a Jag officer in the United States Navy but exactly where in Japan he never said I think it was Nagasaki but he ended up dying back in 2016
Remember watching this back in the day. Loved it. There's hardly anything going on here on the surface and yet so much is happening in the heads of everyone involved. Fine acting and directing, letting the scene breathe. So rare today.
He gives the Japanese a new custom and humbles himself in front of her! That makes everyone think that this barbarian might have something to teach them!
Anjin is the ultimate opportunist. He has a truly remarkable sense to make the most out of every opportunity that comes his way. Among the Samurai and the Imperial Court his public image would have soared into legendary status after this audience.
At this stage of the story, Blackthorne had elevated himself to samurai status (see his sword!) and so, was way above the other barbarians. It was him, who insisted to be called anjin-SAN, thus accepting the customs of his surroundings, in contrast to the other Europeans in Japan.
I read the book in the 1970s and watched this tv series in the 1980s! great cinematography, great space and pace. Wow! to see it again, appreciation increases.
Yoko Shimada’s subtle elegance it this scene is lovely to watch. When she acknowledges Anjin-San then her subtle look forward tells him and we the viewers to focus your attention on Lady Ochiba. The new girl doesn’t even come close to connecting with the viewers like Shimada-San did.
Hai, Bronco Daddy-San. One of our subs said that you can watch it for free on Internet Archive, but no link was provided. It also can be purchased on DVD and Blu Ray on Ebay.com.@@broncodaddy46507
I had pretty much forgotten how much I was entranced by Yoko Shimada as Lady Mariko. Anna Sawai has done a fantastic job in carrying on the role in the 21st. Century. But for sheer elegance and unearthly beauty, Yoko Shimada IS Lady Miriko.
Hai, Mike-San. We agree with you 100% There is a timeless elegance and demure that Yoko Shimada brought to the role of Mariko-San, and it is unmatched, with, as you properly said, unearthly beauty. In my open as well, Yoko Shimada IS Lady Mariko. Outstanding comment and observation. Arigatogozaimashita. 👍
@@theshogunchannel And I'm going to look into Yoko Shimada's career as an actress to see if there are other films with her in them that are available somewhere. i was very impressed with her.
I totally agree. I'm not that impressed with the remake. The original is better in my opinion, because of three very good reasons; Toshiro Mifune as Toranaga, Richard Chamberlain as Blackthorne, and Yoko Shimada as Mariko.
I was a kid when I watched this series, and it was riveting. Many of the characters were complex, the acting was first rate and the storyline was engrossing.
I do not understand the obsession to "remake" Classic that don't need to be remade which are flawless in their casting (both English & especially the Japanese actors & actress), production, score and rather than remaking it, why not complete the James Clavell's Asia Saga; there are four other novels remaining (Tai-Pan & NobleHouse already produce) in conjunction with the "re-release" theatrically for new audience. If they do plan on producing all of them and not just Shogun, then I will be impress in their ambition vision but I doubt heavily, for they are not that creative, hence the remake aiming for another GOT success rather than sincerely unveiling this novel to a new audience without "modern revisionist of history." There is already a warning sign, when they aren't giving credit to the author JAMES CLAVELL'S SHOGUN in the title or trailers. And it is just me or does this cinematography appears too dark? I understand the different style regarding 1970s & 1980s TV production verse cinematic direction of photography in film but nevertheless one looks gloomier than the other while the other celebrate the beautiful light of the island of the rising sun. Thus far visually in costuming and production I am bias, but prefer the original by far. The score alone brings back memories of watching it aired from my childhood, the epic scope set the standard for all TV min-series for that decade.
Hai, ZenenNILugo-San! Very excellent comment and insight. We agree with you 100%! It could be that Disney's Shogun 2024 is attempting to "rewrite History" with their agenda, as you stated with "modern revisionist" history. And yes, there is a new "blue tint" that is added to the new Shogun that makes it dark and grim, and apparently it was shot and filmed in Canada. As you know the 1980s Shogun was shot and filmed in Japan. Yes, the other had the beautiful light, which endeared us all to Japan. Yes, agreed, the Kimonos that were "hand made" in the 1980s version were far more colorful and beautiful - whereas, in the 2024 Kimonos do not even reflect the Brown - Toranaga's and Grays - Ishido's Samurai. And finally, yes, the musical score by Maurice Jarre was absolutely epic. Shogun 1980 was arguably the "Best" TV Miniseries possibly of all time. Such excellent comments! Arigatogozaimasu!!! 👍
Fully agree with you. One cannot improve on an already classic series. In the original series, the entire dialogue from the book was used as well as all descriptions from it was filmed, something extremely rare. No way I will even bother to view the new version as the few clips shown says it all...total crap.
Hai, Michael-San. You are so right. Screenwriter and Producer Eric Bercovici took most of the lines directly from the novel, and there was very little oversight from NBC and Paramount because the crew was in Japan. And the result, with very little oversight, was an absolute Masterpiece. Agreed: One cannot improve on an already classic series. Excellent comment: Very well stated. Arigatogozaimasu, Michael-San.@@michaelbrandt5416
The old John Balckthorne is the best. The new one looks like a 20 years-old zoomer who is slightly drunk most of the time and he just doesn't give a crap!
Totally agree. He's a shadow of the Blackthorne in the book, no intelligence or guile, as beautifully made as the new series is I can't watch any more of it!
Is amazing how you can have a historical movie, with the actors playing characters from another era, and wear clothes of that era, yet somehow still have a 70's-80's aesthetic.
I prefer this version and the original novel over the newer series and this scene illustrates a large part of it. The book and the original miniseries do a far better job of illustrating Blackthorne's hero's journey. In the modern version Blackthorne learns enough of the language and customs to get by, but doesn't fundamentally change who he is. In the book and the original series, however, Blackthorne assimilates into Japanese culture and custom to the point where he and other reflect that he has become more Japanese than European in his habits and attitudes. This scene shows the way he deftly navigates the culture of the court in ways that the modern version of Blackthorne never could. That version is still a gaijin, still a barbarian in his heart, where this version truly is Samurai.
Hai, AtticStattic-San. I think Yoko Shimada had so many millions of men fall in love with her. Beautiful, graceful, elegant in her movements and speech. An amazing woman and actress. Arigatogozaimashita.
Well its bcuz in 2024 version Blackthorne is in a more hostile and negative environment overall compared to this version so he can not express his feelings openly I assume whereas in this one nobody really gets offended from what he does
I have not read the book, but I have seen the 1980 series & am currently watching the new version. The 1980 version was more drama focused and a bit sanitised. Whereas the cinematography & action sequenses of the new version feel more realistic to me. Both are works of quality.
@@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv Tai-Pan, King Rat and I think a couple more I forget. Not the same characters or exact settings but the books were written as a sort of series
I thought the 1980 version was great in it's day. That being said, the 2024 version has a lot going for it - there's pros and cons to both, but the new Shogun is telling the story in a somewhat different light. Much more emphasis in the first 4 episodes of the complex politics and intrigue that were less present in the old one. The 80's series seemed to focus way more on the romance between Mariko and Blackthorn. That's OK, but seeing this current show gives the story new life.
Hai, NY Jazzman-San. I agree with you. I only wish they would have hired a Super Talented Composer like Maurice Jarre for the music, instead of using keyboards. And, I wish that they hadn't used that Blue-Tint Filter, and, filmed it in actual Japan, so that we can view the landscape of the land. Finally, I wish that Shogun 2024 wasn't always raining, cloudy, and miserable weather, in "The Land Of The Rising Sun". Arigatogozaimashita. 👍🎌
Hai, Philip-San. RUclips's Copyright Requirements are very precarious and do not give reason as to why video scenes are sometimes well under 5 minutes in length. Will try to incorporate her response in another video of this scene. Arigato.
Hai, Evgeni-San. Domo for your comment. Also, Lady Ochiba, in the storyline, was Consort to the Late Taiko Nakamura, and Lord Ishido is simply honoring her, in his castle, for her Royal Birthday Celebration. Arigatogozaimashita.
Ohio! I am currently rereading the book and there is rumor that came to Gjoko's ears(that mama-san that owned Kiku's contract, that Ishido and Ochiba are infact sleeping together.
Remembering James Clavell's thick novel on the 80s. A remake of the film should include more dark-skinned Japanese. Edo, the former capital of Japan, is a state in Nigeria.
Richard Chamberlain's Blackthorne is far superior to the 2024 remake's Blackthorne. It's like the original Terminator's Kyle Reese vs genysis's Kyle Reese.
Hahaha!!! Alwin-San! Domo for making me and Lord Toranaga laugh! Lord Toranaga is pleased with your comment and has granted you a house in Anjiro, 5 Samurai Retainers, and 2 Kimonos! Hahaha! Arigatogozaimashita.
Typical for Japanese films in general. It's reading the room, the expressions on the other person's face, physical reactions and acknowledgement. understanding without needing to say a word.
Full DVD Copies and VHS Copies are available on Ebay.com. However, I do not know of any streaming service where you can watch full episodes. Shogun was a Mini-Series and ran for usually 9 days straight. It is absolutely wonderful, and you will love the miniseries. If anyone knows where Shogun (1980) can be streamed, please reply in the comments. Arigatō. Minasan, subarashī tsuitachi o osugoshi kudasai. Kami no go kago ga arimasu yō ni.
The 2024 version adds so much new material to the Japanese side of the story that it loses a hundred different small events that made nearly every scene in the 1980 miniseries memorable, even profound. And frankly none of the characters in the 2024 version are particularly appealing.
¡Yoko Shimada fallecio hace 2 años atras y ahora tras la Relanzamiento de la nueva MiniSerie es que me estoy enterando."! ¡CUANDO ERA NIÑO ME CAUTIVO LA BELLEZA DE ELLA Y DE FUJI! "Estoy Apenado."
Sí, desafortunadamente fue un final trágico para Yoko Shimada. Ella y Fujiko (Hiromi Senno) eran hermosas y sorprendentes. Hiromi Senno sigue viva. Excelentes comentarios.
Hai, William-San! Very excellent comment! You are absolutely correct: It appears that James Clavell also wrote: Tai-Pan, King Rat, and Noble House, which were set, I believe, in China, and Thrump-O-Moto, which was also in Japan in 1976. Thus far, I have only read Shogun, but would like to explore the others. Arigatogozaimasu. 👍
Iye, Besscollins3163-San. It did not have subtitles on purpose, because the Director and Producer both wanted the viewing audience to feel as if they were in Anjin-San's shoes, and it was very effective. It would have been nice if, for the DVD, they made a version with subtitles. Good comment. Arigato Gozaimashita.
@@keithdavies1395 - I get that. In the mini series, there is a narrator that explains things when they speak Japanese. You don’t need to know the exact words cause you know why he is there and what he is doing. I was a kid when this first aired and we had a Japanese exchange student living with us. We asked her what was being said. She said the same thing as the narrator just more politely. Meaning we know he was there to give a gift, the gift insulted some and fascinated others. The women who’s birthday it was, liked the gift. That’s what they said but more politely. More formal, more filler words to explain how polite it was that she got the gift. Her show of favor was a polite jester to do in public. All that just to say, thank you for the flower. 🌸 That’s what all was said. Again the narrator said this before and after the scene. The only reason this is in the mini series is to learn the name of the players. The man next to her, Lord Ito, was all that mattered in this scene and his show of displeasure. He was shown up. He could not retaliate, that would make him a bad host. This in return Saved Anji/Pilot. Again all talked about by the narrator.
Hai, Jtee-San. Unfortunately, there are no English captions, unless RUclips has put them in. Also, I had to cut it short because RUclips has strict copyright guidelines, and I have had many video scenes that were blocked or rejected because they were too long in length. This scene leads into another scene where Mariko tells Blackthorne that she was prevented by Lord Ishido from doing her duty, and she must commit Seppuku. It should be in the Playlists Section, where I have tried to tie many of these scenes together. Enjoy. Arigatogozaimashita. 👍
I love the original show getting and I love the New one although the third episode of the new 1 was kind of boring and I liked the old version of Blackthorn distracting the troops from Is toronaga
Listen to the clear voices and overall quiet…why does everything have to be so loud in modern movies and shows except speech which is mumbled? We get it. Everything is GRITTY!!!! INTENSITY!!!! LOUD NOISES!!!!! whisper mumble sigh vocal fry
I'm sorry you don't appreciate the literally amazing music score from Maurice Jarre, who scored such amazing Masterpiece movies such as "Jesus Of Nazareth" (1977), Lawrence Of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, The Man Who Would Be King (1975), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Fatal Attraction, No Way Out, and so many others. Actually, his music score is one of my favorite things about Shogun 1980. Hope you can open your mind to the beauty of the music of Maurice Jarre.@@user-if7zm
My comment was only about the new shogun series, that goes against the grain of new movies and new series that have overbearing soundtracks @@theshogunchannel
I think that all the samurai were honored to wear their hair like that as it was a sort of badge indicating that they were Samurai and not Ronin, the lords could wear their hair as they pleased as they were the heads of their respective clans.
I watched the new FX version of Shogun(I read the book) & was greatly disappointed. The principal characters seem extremely shallow compared to Chamberlin & actors playing Mariko Ishido & others. The scenery & costumes are also dark & gloomy. I much prefer the 1980 version!!
Hai, Elaine-San. Excellent comment. I agree with you completely and very much appreciate your comment. Agreed: the principal characters seem shallow, and like they are just reading their lines, in comparison to the wonderful actors and actresses of Shogun 1980. Hai, the scenery is dark and gloomy because they have used a Blue Tint Filter that makes everything look like a rainy and cloudy day in Japan: The Land of the rising sun (cf. Japan's Flag = Sunshine). It was mostly filmed in B.C., Canada, which has a completely different landscape and growing zone than Japan. Also, the costumes which are described in the novel are not bright, beautiful, and hand-made as the Kimonos that were made for Shogun 1980. I much prefer Shogun 1980 as well. Arigatogozaimashita.
@@theshogunchannel thank you so much! I am a fan of Japanese culture but not an expert as you are! I am motivated by my personal taste & limited understanding & study! Thank you for affirming my instincts. I am a fan of Richard Chamberlain who made great effort to understand his characters & portray them honestly as he did here. The actress who portrayed Mariko in 1980 made her underlying feelings & anxieties evident with the subtly inherent in a Japanese Samurai woman. It was this inner beauty, strength & integrity that attracted Blackthorne & both the reader & TV audiences! My, how beautiful she was! And… I love cats too!
Hai, Elaine-San. Dōitashimashite, but I am by no means an expert on Japanese culture. Your instincts are spot on! You are so right that Richard Chamberlain worked very hard to portray Anjin-San honestly, as in the novel. Excellent comment that Yoko Shimada (Mariko-San 1980) had "inner beauty, strength, & integrity", and it attracted Blackthorne, the reader, and the viewer extensively. Regrettably, she passed away in 2022. Hai, so beautiful, demure, and elegant were those actresses. Arigatogozaimashita for your highly excellent and perceptive comments. @@elaineherda6390 👍
Hai, JoelCowan-San, I agree with you 100%. However, there are many Trolls that come in the comments section saying how much better Disney+ Hulu FX Shogun 2024 is than Shogun 1980. Time to do another Shogun Showdown. Excellent comments. Arigatogozaimashita. 👍
There is just no comparison between the 1980 Shogun masterpiece and the current drab, dull, bland current remake. The perpetually perplexed looking Cosmo Jarvis, with his stage voice and inability to emote, is way out of his league here. The cultural significance of lack of facial expression in interactions necessitates the ability to provide subtle clues to convey meaning and feeling to what is being discussed. None of that is evident in the new version. It would've been more enjoyable if they just ran it with a narrator and without any actor's speaking at all! The re-make is a "piece" alright, just not a masterpiece! The 1980 Shogun is the Masterpiece, and Richard Chamberlain will always be Blackthorne, a true Samurai!
This scene is from the 1980 Miniseries called "Shogun", which is based very closely on the novel written by James Clavell. It tells the historical story of William Adams, who was the first Englishman to arrive on the shores of Japan. An absolute wonderful Miniseries. Hope you get a chance to see it, or you can just watch it all on this channel.
C'est une excellente question. J'ai regardé ma copie DVD et elle ne contient que des sous-titres anglais. Il existe des versions en allemand et en espagnol, mais je n'en ai trouvé aucune en français. Ce n'est pas bien. Je suis vraiment désolé pour ça. J'espère que vous pourrez profiter de certaines scènes, même si elles sont en anglais.
Вибачте, але я змушений з вами не погодитися. Ви коли-небудь дивилися Shogun 1980? Швидше за все, ви передумаєте, якщо тільки ви не любитель темного освітлення, фільтрів синього відтінку, клавішної музики, сухих діалогів. Однак, якщо це ваша річ, радий, що вам це подобається.
Excuse me, Geoff-San, but are you unbelievably saying that Anna Sawai, New Zealander, is more attractive than Yoko Shimada? Or Cosmo Jarvis more attractive than Richard Chamberlain? And Moeka Hoshi more attractive than the timeless Hiromi Senno? Are you honestly saying that Hiroyuki Sanada does a better Lord Toranaga than the amazing Toshiro Mifune? Really? I strongly disagree with you, and sometimes I don't know if these are AI generated Chatbots leaving comments. Hijōshikina!
@theshogunchannel I totally agree with you. 100%👍👍👍 When I was young I watched the "Old Shogun Version" and I loved it!! In fact, it caused a great love and interest for Japan in me, so travelled several times to Japan (which was end of the 90ties still an adventure). Now I'm watching the new version of Shogun, and I'm especially disappointed by the character of Lady Mariko, Anna Sawai. She definitely lacks, what Yoko Shimada had, who - in my eyes - perfectly played and represented a Japanese Lady of the old days.
Hai, Joergw-San. I think that Shogun 1980 on Television, as a Miniseries, was so incredibly profound and virtuous, that it made millions upon millions of people worldwide fall in love with the people and the culture, and the food, of Japan. I also have many ties (family members, lifetime friends, reports I have done) to Japan, it's wonderful people, and culture. So glad that you have travelled there several times. Hai, although the Mainstream Media News says that Disney+ FX Hulu Shogun 2024 is a "Timeless Masterpiece" and "Historically Accurate", with all pomp and praise, I, too, am disappointed. I agree with you 100%: No offense to her personally, but Anna Sawai's delivery and portrayal of Mariko, to me, and others, doesn't match the Mariko of the novel, and certainly doesn't come close to the timeless portrayal, delivery, demure, elegance, and grace that Yoko Shimada had. Brilliantly stated: Yoko Shimada perfectly played and represented a Japanese Lady in the 1600s. Domo for your excellent and keen insights. Arigatogozaimashita. @@joergw.8244 👍
@@theshogunchannel こちらこそ。 I have to thank you for your nice comment👍 Seems really, that we both have a 100% the same opinion!! Anna Sawai may be a good actress, but she is NOT Mariko-San. I remember very well the dialogue between Mariko-San and Anjin-San, when she told him not to be tricked by the smile of Japanese females and others. And she said that with such a grace, with a wonderful little smile. However, you knew, she could be tough as well. Great acting. I don't see anything of that on Anna Sawai's face. She constantly looking very... how can I say? Somehow absent minded. This is not the way it is supposed to be. Today I watched another episode of the new Shogun, when an assassin tries to kill the Anjin. While in Shogun 1980 the assassin was a Ninja (like it should be!) in Shogun 2024 the assassin is... guess what: a female. Can't believe it.
Hai, Joergw-San. We definitely are both seeing the same observations here, which others have to be seeing as well. I agree with you 100%: No offense to Anna Sawai, but she looks absent-minded, disgusted, uninterested, annoyed, and those are not very attractive qualities, and certainly not ones that reflect the character, Mariko-San. Yoko Shimada did such a fantastic job, but Anna had Yoko Shimada to study, and to emulate, and to attempt the inner beauty that she had. Finishing up a Side-By-Side of Blackthorne drawing The Map Of The World: Shogun Showdown for this week. My eyes always watch Shogun 1980 when side by side, and the sound of the beautiful Shamisen in the background, makes Osaka Castle, at the lake, look wonderful! Hai, I know the scene you are speaking of: The Amida Tong Assassin is a, wait for it, Woman! Of course, they had to sneak a little gender-switch in there somewhere, after all, it's Walt (33rd Degree DeMolay Freemason) Disney and Company. Hopefully, many will come to this channel to view The Original Masterpiece, beloved by millions: Shogun (1980). Excellent Comment, Tomodachi. Arigatogozaimashita. @@joergw.8244 👍
Hai, Chewy-San. When you have not watched the entire 9-hour Miniseries, this particular scene can seem boring and slow, but if you watch the rest of Shogun (1980), you will definitely be convinced of it's brilliance. Practice patience, and do yourself a favor, and watch it some time from beginning to end. You will be very glad you did. Arigatogozaimashita.
I remember watching this when it arrived back in 1980. I loved it. Wonderful production.
It's been decades since I've seen this miniseries, but everyone looks so different than I remember! I recognize somewhat Anjin's outfit, but the hairstyles (both men and women, including Mariko) are so different than what I thought I remembered. I don't remember the women wearing so much cosmetics. I remember what happens next in this scene, but I don't remember the room being so large or so many people in it. Memory sure can be tricky!
Wonder how the new version stacks up against this one.

So sad! She was lovely, and a great actress.

They had subtitles.
The silence between the scenes is so hypnotic and beautiful. The original series is deeper in subtle meaning that the current one.
Remember watching this back in the day. Loved it.
There's hardly anything going on here on the surface and yet so much is happening in the heads of everyone involved. Fine acting and directing, letting the scene breathe. So rare today.
He gives the Japanese a new custom and humbles himself in front of her! That makes everyone think that this barbarian might have something to teach them!
Anjin is the ultimate opportunist. He has a truly remarkable sense to make the most out of every opportunity that comes his way. Among the Samurai and the Imperial Court his public image would have soared into legendary status after this audience.
@@Conn30Mtenor that's what the statement made!
He was a remarkable falcon.
At this stage of the story, Blackthorne had elevated himself to samurai status (see his sword!) and so, was way above the other barbarians. It was him, who insisted to be called anjin-SAN, thus accepting the customs of his surroundings, in contrast to the other Europeans in Japan.
@@sorenlilienthal1368 But he still has secrets that the Japanese didn't know or knew but didn't know how to use them until he showed them how!
I read the book in the 1970s and watched this tv series in the 1980s! great cinematography, great space and pace. Wow! to see it again, appreciation increases.
So true. Agreed with everything you said. Arigatogozaimasu. 👍
I also loved this movie and of course the actors playing the roles. I’ve read all of Clavells novels and movies!!❤
Yoko Shimada’s subtle elegance it this scene is lovely to watch. When she acknowledges Anjin-San then her subtle look forward tells him and we the viewers to focus your attention on Lady Ochiba. The new girl doesn’t even come close to connecting with the viewers like Shimada-San did.
the Shogun with Richard Chamberlain was awesome & still is, watching the new series, so far, so good
Where can I find the original series? I was only 5 in 1980 and didn’t see it

Love The Japanese Lady's with all my heart ♥
I Lived There for Six Beautiful Years. Love The Japanese Women ♥. Damm , I miss all of so ♥
What a terrific production. Great artistic value.
I had pretty much forgotten how much I was entranced by Yoko Shimada as Lady Mariko. Anna Sawai has done a fantastic job in carrying on the role in the 21st. Century. But for sheer elegance and unearthly beauty, Yoko Shimada IS Lady Miriko.
Hai, Mike-San. We agree with you 100% There is a timeless elegance and demure that Yoko Shimada brought to the role of Mariko-San, and it is unmatched, with, as you properly said, unearthly beauty. In my open as well, Yoko Shimada IS Lady Mariko. Outstanding comment and observation. Arigatogozaimashita. 👍
@@theshogunchannel Thank you very much for your kind words.
@@theshogunchannel And I'm going to look into Yoko Shimada's career as an actress to see if there are other films with her in them that are available somewhere. i was very impressed with her.
Dōitashimashite, Maifurendo. @@mikeat2637 👍
I totally agree. I'm not that impressed with the remake. The original is better in my opinion, because of three very good reasons; Toshiro Mifune as Toranaga, Richard Chamberlain as Blackthorne, and Yoko Shimada as Mariko.
I was a kid when I watched this series, and it was riveting. Many of the characters were complex, the acting was first rate and the storyline was engrossing.
I do not understand the obsession to "remake" Classic that don't need to be remade which are flawless in their casting (both English & especially the Japanese actors & actress), production, score and rather than remaking it, why not complete the James Clavell's Asia Saga; there are four other novels remaining (Tai-Pan & NobleHouse already produce) in conjunction with the "re-release" theatrically for new audience.
If they do plan on producing all of them and not just Shogun, then I will be impress in their ambition vision but I doubt heavily, for they are not that creative, hence the remake aiming for another GOT success rather than sincerely unveiling this novel to a new audience without "modern revisionist of history."
There is already a warning sign, when they aren't giving credit to the author JAMES CLAVELL'S SHOGUN in the title or trailers.
And it is just me or does this cinematography appears too dark?
I understand the different style regarding 1970s & 1980s TV production verse cinematic direction of photography in film but nevertheless one looks gloomier than the other while the other celebrate the beautiful light of the island of the rising sun. Thus far visually in costuming and production I am bias, but prefer the original by far.
The score alone brings back memories of watching it aired from my childhood, the epic scope set the standard for all TV min-series for that decade.
Hai, ZenenNILugo-San! Very excellent comment and insight. We agree with you 100%! It could be that Disney's Shogun 2024 is attempting to "rewrite History" with their agenda, as you stated with "modern revisionist" history. And yes, there is a new "blue tint" that is added to the new Shogun that makes it dark and grim, and apparently it was shot and filmed in Canada. As you know the 1980s Shogun was shot and filmed in Japan. Yes, the other had the beautiful light, which endeared us all to Japan. Yes, agreed, the Kimonos that were "hand made" in the 1980s version were far more colorful and beautiful - whereas, in the 2024 Kimonos do not even reflect the Brown - Toranaga's and Grays - Ishido's Samurai. And finally, yes, the musical score by Maurice Jarre was absolutely epic. Shogun 1980 was arguably the "Best" TV Miniseries possibly of all time. Such excellent comments! Arigatogozaimasu!!! 👍
Fully agree with you. One cannot improve on an already classic series. In the original series, the entire dialogue from the book was used as well as all descriptions from it was filmed, something extremely rare. No way I will even bother to view the new version as the few clips shown says it all...total crap.
Hai, Michael-San. You are so right. Screenwriter and Producer Eric Bercovici took most of the lines directly from the novel, and there was very little oversight from NBC and Paramount because the crew was in Japan. And the result, with very little oversight, was an absolute Masterpiece. Agreed: One cannot improve on an already classic series. Excellent comment: Very well stated. Arigatogozaimasu, Michael-San.@@michaelbrandt5416
Yoko Shimada was so beautiful ❤️
The old John Balckthorne is the best. The new one looks like a 20 years-old zoomer who is slightly drunk most of the time and he just doesn't give a crap!
Totally agree. He's a shadow of the Blackthorne in the book, no intelligence or guile, as beautifully made as the new series is I can't watch any more of it!

tv series is one of my fav series,just wonderfull
I prefer this version and the original novel over the newer series and this scene illustrates a large part of it. The book and the original miniseries do a far better job of illustrating Blackthorne's hero's journey. In the modern version Blackthorne learns enough of the language and customs to get by, but doesn't fundamentally change who he is. In the book and the original series, however, Blackthorne assimilates into Japanese culture and custom to the point where he and other reflect that he has become more Japanese than European in his habits and attitudes. This scene shows the way he deftly navigates the culture of the court in ways that the modern version of Blackthorne never could. That version is still a gaijin, still a barbarian in his heart, where this version truly is Samurai.
Hai, Benuticone-San. I agree 100%. Excellent Comments. Arigato Gozaimashita. 👍
This is so much better.
I was completely in love with Yoko Shimada at the time!

The remake (as far as actors) looks one for one, very nice
It all adds to the flavor
This set and costume look great
Ishido's like “Seriously? Is that all??”😅
Richard Chamberlain's acting is more convincing of his love for Mariko than the new version's Blackthorne, IMO.
For real. The romantic taboo that created tension between Anjin-San and Lady Mariko in the 2024 version of Shogun was severely underplayed.

Well its bcuz in 2024 version Blackthorne is in a more hostile and negative environment overall compared to this version so he can not express his feelings openly I assume whereas in this one nobody really gets offended from what he does

I have not read the book, but I have seen the 1980 series & am currently watching the new version. The 1980 version was more drama focused and a bit sanitised. Whereas the cinematography & action sequenses of the new version feel more realistic to me. Both are works of quality.

I thought the 1980 version was great in it's day. That being said, the 2024 version has a lot going for it - there's pros and cons to both, but the new Shogun is telling the story in a somewhat different light. Much more emphasis in the first 4 episodes of the complex politics and intrigue that were less present in the old one. The 80's series seemed to focus way more on the romance between Mariko and Blackthorn. That's OK, but seeing this current show gives the story new life.
Hai, NY Jazzman-San. I agree with you. I only wish they would have hired a Super Talented Composer like Maurice Jarre for the music, instead of using keyboards. And, I wish that they hadn't used that Blue-Tint Filter, and, filmed it in actual Japan, so that we can view the landscape of the land. Finally, I wish that Shogun 2024 wasn't always raining, cloudy, and miserable weather, in "The Land Of The Rising Sun". Arigatogozaimashita. 👍🎌
You should have included Lady Ochiba's rather passive-aggressive reply.
Hai, Philip-San. RUclips's Copyright Requirements are very precarious and do not give reason as to why video scenes are sometimes well under 5 minutes in length. Will try to incorporate her response in another video of this scene. Arigato.
Lady Ochiba to her husband:" Don't worry about this guy...."
Hai, Evgeni-San. Domo for your comment. Also, Lady Ochiba, in the storyline, was Consort to the Late Taiko Nakamura, and Lord Ishido is simply honoring her, in his castle, for her Royal Birthday Celebration. Arigatogozaimashita.
Ohio! I am currently rereading the book and there is rumor that came to Gjoko's ears(that mama-san that owned Kiku's contract, that Ishido and Ochiba are infact sleeping together.
Remembering James Clavell's thick novel on the 80s. A remake of the film should include more dark-skinned Japanese. Edo, the former capital of Japan, is a state in Nigeria.
I never knew that there was a "real" John Blackthorne. His name was William Adams.
Richard Chamberlain's Blackthorne is far superior to the 2024 remake's Blackthorne. It's like the original Terminator's Kyle Reese vs genysis's Kyle Reese.

The 2024 version adds so much new material to the Japanese side of the story that it loses a hundred different small events that made nearly every scene in the 1980 miniseries memorable, even profound. And frankly none of the characters in the 2024 version are particularly appealing.

The books were excellent for historical fiction. Shogun wasn't the only Clavel? (can't remember) novel set in Japan.
Hai, William-San! Very excellent comment! You are absolutely correct: It appears that James Clavell also wrote: Tai-Pan, King Rat, and Noble House, which were set, I believe, in China, and Thrump-O-Moto, which was also in Japan in 1976. Thus far, I have only read Shogun, but would like to explore the others. Arigatogozaimasu. 👍
Did this version of the series not feature English subtitles for the viewers.
Iye, Besscollins3163-San. It did not have subtitles on purpose, because the Director and Producer both wanted the viewing audience to feel as if they were in Anjin-San's shoes, and it was very effective. It would have been nice if, for the DVD, they made a version with subtitles. Good comment. Arigato Gozaimashita.
島田陽子さんは綺麗だったなぁ

I loved it, although I'm curious at what the opening dialogue was.Can anyone translate that please? Many thanks.
Subtitles would've been handy.
If you had seen the mini series, you’d have known the narrator explains it all before and after this scene.
@@auntiem873 I meant for when they're speaking Japanese.
@@keithdavies1395 - I get that.
In the mini series, there is a narrator that explains things when they speak Japanese.
You don’t need to know the exact words cause you know why he is there and what he is doing.
I was a kid when this first aired and we had a Japanese exchange student living with us.
We asked her what was being said.
She said the same thing as the narrator just more politely.
Meaning we know he was there to give a gift, the gift insulted some and fascinated others.
The women who’s birthday it was, liked the gift.
That’s what they said but more politely.
More formal, more filler words to explain how polite it was that she got the gift.
Her show of favor was a polite jester to do in public. All that just to say, thank you for the flower.
🌸
That’s what all was said. Again the narrator said this before and after the scene.
The only reason this is in the mini series is to learn the name of the players. The man next to her, Lord Ito, was all that mattered in this scene and his show of displeasure.
He was shown up.
He could not retaliate, that would make him a bad host.
This in return Saved Anji/Pilot. Again all talked about by the narrator.
DUDE! You forgot to record it with the forced English captions, and you cut the clip too short.
Hai, Jtee-San. Unfortunately, there are no English captions, unless RUclips has put them in. Also, I had to cut it short because RUclips has strict copyright guidelines, and I have had many video scenes that were blocked or rejected because they were too long in length. This scene leads into another scene where Mariko tells Blackthorne that she was prevented by Lord Ishido from doing her duty, and she must commit Seppuku. It should be in the Playlists Section, where I have tried to tie many of these scenes together. Enjoy. Arigatogozaimashita. 👍
How much longer are they going to dress John in rags? and sorry to say but the new foul mouthed John doesn't have the presence of a leader

That is one of the things I also like about the new shogun series. No overbearing soundtrack so far.
I'm sorry you don't appreciate the literally amazing music score from Maurice Jarre, who scored such amazing Masterpiece movies such as "Jesus Of Nazareth" (1977), Lawrence Of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, The Man Who Would Be King (1975), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Fatal Attraction, No Way Out, and so many others. Actually, his music score is one of my favorite things about Shogun 1980. Hope you can open your mind to the beauty of the music of Maurice Jarre.@@user-if7zm
My comment was only about the new shogun series, that goes against the grain of new movies and new series that have overbearing soundtracks @@theshogunchannel
Why exactly did some of the men have their heads shaved, and others didn't?

It also helped keep your helmet in place
Oh no is this a spoiler
I watched the new FX version of Shogun(I read the book) & was greatly disappointed. The principal characters seem extremely shallow compared to Chamberlin & actors playing Mariko Ishido & others. The scenery & costumes are also dark & gloomy. I much prefer the 1980 version!!
Hai, Elaine-San. Excellent comment. I agree with you completely and very much appreciate your comment. Agreed: the principal characters seem shallow, and like they are just reading their lines, in comparison to the wonderful actors and actresses of Shogun 1980. Hai, the scenery is dark and gloomy because they have used a Blue Tint Filter that makes everything look like a rainy and cloudy day in Japan: The Land of the rising sun (cf. Japan's Flag = Sunshine). It was mostly filmed in B.C., Canada, which has a completely different landscape and growing zone than Japan. Also, the costumes which are described in the novel are not bright, beautiful, and hand-made as the Kimonos that were made for Shogun 1980. I much prefer Shogun 1980 as well. Arigatogozaimashita.
@@theshogunchannel thank you so much! I am a fan of Japanese culture but not an expert as you are! I am motivated by my personal taste & limited understanding & study! Thank you for affirming my instincts. I am a fan of Richard Chamberlain who made great effort to understand his characters & portray them honestly as he did here. The actress who portrayed Mariko in 1980 made her underlying feelings & anxieties evident with the subtly inherent in a Japanese Samurai woman.

There is just no comparison between the 1980 Shogun masterpiece and the current drab, dull, bland current remake. The perpetually perplexed looking Cosmo Jarvis, with his stage voice and inability to emote, is way out of his league here. The cultural significance of lack of facial expression in interactions necessitates the ability to provide subtle clues to convey meaning and feeling to what is being discussed. None of that is evident in the new version. It would've been more enjoyable if they just ran it with a narrator and without any actor's speaking at all!
The re-make is a "piece" alright, just not a masterpiece!

I totally agree with you. 100%👍👍👍
When I was young I watched the "Old Shogun Version" and I loved it!! In fact, it caused a great love and interest for Japan in me, so travelled several times to Japan (which was end of the 90ties still an adventure).
Now I'm watching the new version of Shogun, and I'm especially disappointed by the character of Lady Mariko, Anna Sawai. She definitely lacks, what Yoko Shimada had, who - in my eyes - perfectly played and represented a Japanese Lady of the old days.
Hai, Joergw-San. I think that Shogun 1980 on Television, as a Miniseries, was so incredibly profound and virtuous, that it made millions upon millions of people worldwide fall in love with the people and the culture, and the food, of Japan. I also have many ties (family members, lifetime friends, reports I have done) to Japan, it's wonderful people, and culture. So glad that you have travelled there several times. Hai, although the Mainstream Media News says that Disney+ FX Hulu Shogun 2024 is a "Timeless Masterpiece" and "Historically Accurate", with all pomp and praise, I, too, am disappointed. I agree with you 100%: No offense to her personally, but Anna Sawai's delivery and portrayal of Mariko, to me, and others, doesn't match the Mariko of the novel, and certainly doesn't come close to the timeless portrayal, delivery, demure, elegance, and grace that Yoko Shimada had. Brilliantly stated: Yoko Shimada perfectly played and represented a Japanese Lady in the 1600s. Domo for your excellent and keen insights. Arigatogozaimashita. @@joergw.8244 👍

I have to thank you for your nice comment👍
Seems really, that we both have a 100% the same opinion!!
Anna Sawai may be a good actress, but she is NOT Mariko-San.
I remember very well the dialogue between Mariko-San and Anjin-San, when she told him not to be tricked by the smile of Japanese females and others. And she said that with such a grace, with a wonderful little smile. However, you knew, she could be tough as well. Great acting.
I don't see anything of that on Anna Sawai's face. She constantly looking very... how can I say? Somehow absent minded. This is not the way it is supposed to be.
Today I watched another episode of the new Shogun, when an assassin tries to kill the Anjin. While in Shogun 1980 the assassin was a Ninja (like it should be!) in Shogun 2024 the assassin is... guess what: a female. Can't believe it.
Hai, Joergw-San. We definitely are both seeing the same observations here, which others have to be seeing as well. I agree with you 100%: No offense to Anna Sawai, but she looks absent-minded, disgusted, uninterested, annoyed, and those are not very attractive qualities, and certainly not ones that reflect the character, Mariko-San. Yoko Shimada did such a fantastic job, but Anna had Yoko Shimada to study, and to emulate, and to attempt the inner beauty that she had. Finishing up a Side-By-Side of Blackthorne drawing The Map Of The World: Shogun Showdown for this week.

Practice patience, and do yourself a favor, and watch it some time from beginning to end. You will be very glad you did. Arigatogozaimashita.
