This poem is an homage to the death poem of a real person. That person's name was Garasha Hosokawa, a woman who lived during the Sengoku period and is one of the most famous women in Japan who lived a tragic life. Her true death poem was, ``Only when is it known when to fall in the world A flower is a flower and a human is a human'' In Japanese '散りぬべき時知りてこそ世の中の 花も花なれ人も人なれ😭
@@shion2085_bluerider Exactly, Garasha or Gracia in Portuguese, her catholic baptismal name, the daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide "Nine Day Shogun" who killed Oda Nobunaga. This show hits the nail for me telling a fictional story based on real characters and events about the most interesting part of Japanese history.
They become flowers when they are separated from the plants produced them, the wind that takes them. Before that they are blossoms that become fruit eventually. Wind--meaning the unpredictable impact of fate--robs the blossoms of their true destiny. Mariko is one such blossom that the winds had taken, and robbed her of her true destiny. Mariko is a flower that falls, held for a time for her value to Toranaga, to Buntaro, to the Portuguese, to the Anjin, etc. Her only agency was choosing the manner and time of her demise. In the end, ONLY the Anjin truly saw her for who she is, and truly saw past the 8 gates of the 8-fold fence, into the inner heart where her true desires reside.
Some of the best television I've seen since the first few seasons of Game of Thrones. Unbelievable. Had no idea about the original series in the 80s, or any books. I just randomly saw a commercial for the series about a month before it premiered and I immediately got interested in it and set a reminder to watch it when it came out. Saw the last episode just a little bit ago and yea, unbelievable show, captivated me the whole way through. Beautiful acting all around.
Don't be intimidated by the book. Read it. You won't regret it. The FX series was excellent. The book is still better. It's long but it's so good, you will feel sad when it comes to an end. A true masterpiece.
Glad Hiroyuki Sanada-san is getting more spotlight and success, outside of being a supporting roles/cameo in Hollywood (Last Samurai, 47 Ronin, Wolverine 2013, Avengers Endgame, Bullet Train, John Wick 4 and Army of the Dead ) in the last decades
"Why do you think it was so important to tell the story in Japanese?" the lady asked the Japanese actor and producer of a show that takes place in ancient Japan where a significant plot point is centered around an outsider not speaking Japanese.
Why is it important to shoot Elvis in English and specifically in America? They should’ve considered Canada and maybe in French? Dumb questions man. Haha
You guys should watch Kurosawa movies. It influenced Hollywood films back then. His movies and Shogun also are the reason why Star Wars was born only we didn't get to see Toshiro Mifune in it as he declined the offer twice
Quality of the movie is exceptional! It keeps the mind thinking even after the show is done. I like how everything said and filming have purpose beyond the obvious plot.
I don’t control the wind, I study the wind’~Yoshi Toranaga #ShogunFX A very good ending, without a bloodbath. You have to think strategically. Toranaga Sama planned everything from the beginning and, shortly before reaching his goal, let Mariko Sama in on it🌸🥂thanks to all the producers and actors. Big thanks to Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai.
@@Daneelro He's not a villain, he just wins the game of thrones in this instance. It's also a decolonial tale, in which the English would-be colonizer is really the court jester.
@@SuperRobertoClemente He _is_ a villain, but one of many. All the characters in Game of Thrones engaging in the game of thrones were villains, too. The decolonisation tale is not so straightforward. While Japan did thwart European colonialists, at the exact same time, they just aborted their own colonisation of Korea, which was to be a prelude to their colonisation of China (both of which they repeated with much more success & bloodshed in the 19th to 20th century); and soon after, they successfully colonised the Ryuku Kingdom (Okinawa today).
Very well said Sanada! Highly respect him and the perfect hard work for just this tv series. I know this is the final, wish should bring something more but glad to see the real life of what Japanese history and culture is all about.
I am so happy Mr. Sanada is not going to be one of those "that guy you recognize" actors but getting legitimate recognition and people to remember his name after 50 odd years working in the film industry. Same with Michelle Yeoh, it's great to see these veteran talents get mainstream recognition internationally!!
All the praise is so well deserved. Sanada has put out one of the bests shows in a long time and I'm sad that it's over after only 1 season. Time to rewatch it!
The dialogue in this move is absolutely amazing. In my humble opinion, worthy of a publication in Japanese (Kanjin) with the translation below each line. The women lines, the pace of the speeches were breathtakingly beautiful.
He is an incredible actor , producer and such a humble person. Such incredible inspiration to so many! Shogun is so deeply moving! Wishing him continued abundance success in all he pursues the future . Thank you for sharing this this great interview.
Let’s talk about the presence of this man!! He is an amazing actor and now producer! This show is AMAZING!! It BETTER WIN SEVERAL AWARDS!! Love Sanada San! He is ABSOLUTELY…. POSITIVELY… DELICIOUS!! 🥰😍😘
The novel Shogun once captivated me, and this 2024 television series does an amazing job. From the script to the cast, the film adopts a Hollywood style but remains the pure Japanese essence, drawing me in from beginning to end, truly perfect. Although the final episode, number 10, didn't quite satisfy me as I expected it to be done better, it's still enjoyable. And It's unbelievable it was filmed in Vancouver but look like in Japan, wow. Love it.
Thanks so much for treating us with SUCH an amazing show. This is the best series I've watched in my entire life. SO looking forward to what you create next. Absolutely tremendous, Mr. Sanada.
Watching this again as well as other interview clips with Hiroyuki - he seems so reserved, so very humble and almost embarrassed by the mountains of accolades being heaped upon him. THAT is the Japanese culture (I can say this because I am also full Japanese - but born and raised in Hawaii). He is so mesmerizing as he's soft spoken here, but boy, does he envelope his powerful character in Shogun. His lines gets peppered with emotion as the scene calls for it and then he retreats back into the quiet, cunning, and cerebral character. Just an outstanding actor who deserves all the hype being tossed his way. Annnddd......being the most GORGEOUS male to hit the airwaves in a long time doesn't hurt either🤤🥰🤩!!!
Man, that smile he did right before he second his Yabushige was pure movie magic (yes it's a show.) I smiled along with him because it was an amazing scene..
There are a lot of people who still won't watch foreign language with subtitles, which prevents them from consuming media such as this. Of course it should not need to be justified, as it sounds amazing in the native language (I do not know if they are speaking a period appropriate dialect). This question was to try to bring over some viewers who would not normally consume such media by explaining why it needed to be in Japanese - because the story is a Japanese one. In order to understand the worldview and motivations of the characters, one needs to be immersed in the culture. It is done so well, that it remains approachable- that's what I think that exchange was supposed to do- I don't think it was meant to be disrespectful, after all, who is the bulk of the GMA audience?
I'm just happy Hiroyki Sanada's character didn't die in this series. Jokes aside, Shogun is quite possibly the most brilliant show I've seen an such a loooong time
the casting for this series was incredible. The writing, the directing, costumes, dialog, pacing, editing, all amazing. When the Directing for episode 3 changed I worried a tiny bit. But the final two episodes made up for the directing change. It's a masterpiece. Yet I wish the director never changed as I feel the original director did the highest quality work.
Last Samurai film with Tom Cruise and Hiroyuki Sanada is also a great epic and teaches about ancient Japanese Shogun culture. Highly recommended if you liked this.
When I was a kid, the first kungfu and ninja movie that I saw was with Hiroyuki Sanada, its a movie called Ninja in the Dragon's Den. Its a bad ass movie and I highly recommend it. Also Twilight Samurai is good starting him also.
Loving the show and living in Vancouver I didn’t realize that the show was filmed locally (technically it’s not Vancouver but in the smaller, more wilderness focused communities/cities nearby…Port Moody, Belcarra and Porteau Cove areas for example) until while watching I recognized many of the areas as ones we have hiked. In some scenes you may actually spot the clear cut logging as well…but they blur them out so you don’t notice that discrepancy.
Anna , Hiroyuki , Tadanobu and Moeka all deserve to win awards for their spectacular performances ❤Special mentionto Fumi( Oshiba) and Tokuma ( Hiromatsu)
Mr. Hiroyuki Sanada is my first love. In 1992, when I was a kid, I watched Gekkeikan Sake TV Commercial and felt in love with him. He’s my favorite actor, and that’s my favorite TV commercial ever.
I'm an American currently residing in Japan for about 3 and 1/2 years, and have previously lived in Vancouver BC for more than 5 years. There are similarities between locations, but I definitely noticed the difference in tree species, and of course, the typical lack of sun. Prolonged overcast conditions are far more prevalent in Vancouver, which was not easy to deal with for this Southern Californian.
I would like Hiroyuki Sanada to continue working as a director, especially as an advisor on Japanese culture. Without him, Hollywood would not be able to convey the true depiction of Japan.
BEST SHOW EVER! Omg episode 9 destroys! Wow wow wow! I can’t stop talking about this show and the analysis of such rich, deep, layered art that is Shogun. This show is a true MASTERPIECE! It’s so beautifully, intelligently, masterfully, and poetically done! Chef’s kiss to the writing! Pay attention to the words. They’re everything. What everyone says holds significance and you see the words reflected in the subtle actions in later sequences! So much value, weight, meaning in words. Nothing is wasted in a single word. Really echoes the culture and highlights the code of honor and value/belief systems. I’m still freaking out days later after finishing the series. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Crimson sky was always Mariko! She change the course of Japan’s history forever and the fate of Toranaga. He put everything in setting up this decades long awaited plan and the checkmate move-the sacrifice of his queen. He put it all in the hands of Mariko. Masterful chess! Japan was reshaped through Toranaga but only because of Mariko!

Love Hiroyuki Sanada as an actor.
Hiroyuki is the Denzel of Japan. Elevates every single thing he appears in.
Some of the best television I've seen since the first few seasons of Game of Thrones. Unbelievable. Had no idea about the original series in the 80s, or any books.

Saw the last episode just a little bit ago and yea, unbelievable show, captivated me the whole way through. Beautiful acting all around.
you've only watched GOT these pat couple of years huh. Better series to compare have been out
Better shows than GOT my guy. GOT is only popular because mainstream media showcase it and it has sex, violence, and hot people.
Don't be intimidated by the book. Read it. You won't regret it. The FX series was excellent. The book is still better. It's long but it's so good, you will feel sad when it comes to an end. A true masterpiece.

There’s much more in the book than could be expected to be put on tv.
They stayed faithful to the book and 80's series ending. No big battles. You've been so much into Marvel movies.
whos complaining
I love marvel and I love this too. I've been reading comics my whole life and I read this book when I was a teenager. Check your snobbery.
Wish there was more action... but it's still a good show.
