Ran

Watch Ran: A story of greed, a lust for power, and ultimate revenge. The Great Lord Hidetora Ichimonji has decided to step aside to make room for the younger blood of his three sons, Taro, Jiro, and Saburo, the Lord's only wish now being to live out his years as an honored guest in the castle of each of his sons in turn. While the older two sons flatter their father, the youngest son attempts to warn him of the folly of expecting the three sons to remain united; enraged at the younger son's attempt to point out the danger, the father banishes him. True to the younger son's warning, however, the oldest Son soon conspires with the second son to strip The Great Lord of everything, even his title.

Akira Kurosawa is one of the most amazing directors. This is an epic movie. A masterpiece. My favorite samuraii movie. The plot was brilliant, and I loved the use of color. MUST SEE!

I finally got round to watching this! After first reading 'Lear' nearly 30 years ago (ouch!). Short review posted.

Absolutely amazing movie partially based on Shakespeare's King Lear. A must see for anyone who loves and appreciates film-making at its finest!

I was bored off my ass for 2 1/2 hours and i'll tell you why. 1- Theres no period of getting to know the characters, I really didn't feel attached to any of the characters and wasn't sad to see any of them go. 2-The story arc moves a little slowly for my tastes- you see repetitive scenes that, in my opinion, serve the same purpose. They milked the drama. 3- Zero action. This is normally ok but when you you relinquish subtlety it makes a recipe for disaster I think. 4- Like some other shakespear stories, the ending seems pointless to everyone involved. The climax is in the "moral of the story" and only to be had in retrospect by the onlookers. I'll give it 3/5 just because its 25 years old and didn't flat out suck. Theres some nostalgia to see films made this way, but thats about all i got from it. Each to their own, I'll stick with Red Cliff.
