      It's hard not to well up when you know the stories behind the images, they're that powerful. Maybe Rashomon the most emotional? Ikiru? Ran? They're all devastatingly powerful films.

    Long ago, in a college film class, the professor had us watch 'Seven Samurai.' I've been captivated by Kurosawa's vision and talent ever since. He was truly the master. I have great praise for Toshiro Mifune, also, having seen all 16 films they did together.

    gutted you couldnt include Stray Dogs, the scene where Mifune and the gun thief are at quarrelling towards the end, dirtied from the mud, in the bare dirty ground knackered, as one and the same. One of the most powerful moments in history of cinema.

      He says he always wanted to, the studio wouldn't let me because they were worried it'd be too expensive. I think I read somewhere that the original 1954 was one of his favorites.

    Kurosawa was phenomenal because he had a wonderful camera eye for both photos and action, was marvelous with actors, in casting and directing. Very few directors could do all those things. Maybe Bergman. But not Lean, who screwed up with Chris Jones in Ryan's Daughter, and both Julie Christie and Omar Sharif in Doctor Zhivago. Kurosawa was both a natural and virtuoso of incredible range: from HIgh and Low, to Ikiru to The Seven Samaurai, completely different genres.

    Kurosawa trully was one of the great giants of film directors. I've seen maybe dozen of his movies and not one was bad. Even his worst is still a good movie. This was a great tribute. Loved the use of music from "Sword of the Stranger".

    Oh, beautiful! Just beautiful! I had to watch with waves of goosebumps. What a master filmmaker, Kurosawa - an existentialist that captured the glory and agony of our human condition - expiation of life, as Schopenhauer once said. :) Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks GlamAmor. Kurosawa was a genius. His b/w films are really striking to watch and his use of color in his later period was phenomenal. He was blind during the making of Ran for a period of time, and yet it was still an aesthetically overwhelming masterpiece.

    That was a wonderful montage. Thank you, to whomever put it together. I do have one complaint, though: only 12, by my count, out of Kurosawa's 30 films are represented here. Surely any serious montage needs footage from Red Beard, Dersu Uzala, I Live in Fear, The Lower Depths, Drunken Angel, Stray Dog, and so on.
