Greetings! I treated this episode of PTE as if I were filling in required words needed to complete a Mad Libs, a word game that might be categorized as a phrasal template game. In order to create today's playlist, the compositions required the inclusion of an acoustic instrument & a non-instrument such as electronics, tape, digital delay, computer, etc.  Enjoy!

RIP Akira Kurosawa www.patreon.com/generationloss

Based on 1570's Feudal Japan, this historical epic was a masterpiece of its time. Akira Kurosawa was near the end of his career, and hadn't made a film in some time, but this was his valiant return with the Film Kagemusha: the Shadow Warrior. The film almost never seen the light of day if it weren't for the Western counterparts to cover the remaining budget and distribution.Based on the true events Takeda Shingen and his clan, this film delves into the historical aspects of the era and the politic behind it. The famous warlord dies to an assassin of one of the competing factions, but one of his last requests was to keep the appearance that he was alive for the sake of the clan. The top generals of this clan seek out a shadow warrior or counterfeit Shingen to play the roll of the warlord. Many competing clans are fighting for power, and suspect he may be dead, but are unable to say for certain.Directed by Akira Kurosawa, with George Lucas, and Francis Ford Coppola and starring Tatsuya Nakadai.

Today's great political film is Akira Kurosawa's epic of war and deception Kagemusha (1980). Set in late sixteenth-century Japan it tells the story of a thief tasked with impersonating a warlord. Can physical resemblance translate into political authority? How far does the conspiracy need to go? And who in the end is the real criminal?

Today's great political film is Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975), voted the greatest film of all time in the 2022 Sight and Sound poll. A classic of feminist cinema it is also a film about the meaning of time and the illusions of choice.

Paul and Erin review two films about rulers being replaced by exact lookalikes: Akira Kurosawa's 1980 epic KAGEMUSHA, and Ivan Reitman's Capraesque 1993 comedy DAVE.

In Akira Kurosawa's KAGEMUSHA (1980), a lowly thief is recruited to impersonate a feudal warlord, and he almost gets away with it. This mighty epic gives us opportunity to ponder the role of illusion in maintaining power, and whether or not a lie will always be exposed.

Apesar de não ser tão lembrado quanto outros filmes do mesmo estilo, como “Sete Samurais” e “Yojimbo“, “Kagemusha” recebeu um reconhecimento imediato e quase unânime da crítica mundial quando foi lançado, e até hoje é considerado um dos épicos de samurai mais majestosos, pictóricos e ambiciosos da história do cinema.

In this episode, Perry is joined by Derick McDuff of the Underrated podcast network to discuss Akira Kurosawa's 1980 film, Kagemusha. It received a lot of support from George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, but ultimately represents something of a downturn for the acclaimed director.

A version of this essay was published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-three-exemplars-of-indian-cinema-in-2022-rrr-the-kashmir-files-and-kantara-11940742.html2022 was a watershed year for Indian cinema and cinephiles. At long last, the formulaic Hindi/Urdu cinema that has dominated both mindshare and box office took a beating, for it appears to no longer appeal to the consuming public. It has long been accused of lack of originality; its anti-Indian slant, and especially its overt anti-Hindu stance, have now begun to annoy large numbers of viewers. They voted with their wallets, as per BookMyShow.The yeoman efforts by @GemsofBollywood to demonstrate bad faith on the part of the industry have had an impact, as can be seen from the number of expensive flops: Lal Singh Chaddha, Shamshera, Raksha Bandhan, Cirkus, Dobaara, Liger. They should change course, though given the current crop of agenda-ridden poseurs and nepo-kids, it's not clear they can.As a direct consequence of the arrival a few years ago of high-bandwidth fiber-to-the-home, many cinema viewers have also become accustomed to a wide range of offerings on OTT like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. This has made them aware of cinema from around the world that frankly shows that Bollywood has always been inferior in content and form, except for the film music (at least in earlier days). I was at one time a cineaste, enjoying the 20th century works of Kurosawa, Ray, Eisenstein, the Italian and French masters, Bergman, and the Indian New Wave. It was easy to dismiss the cinematic quality of the Mumbai film industry; but it has always been influential, and has set the narrative about India both internally and in the developing world, as well as Russia and Japan. For a variety of reasons (including simple prejudice), the Mumbai film industry has not been able to make a mark on Western audiences, and RRR is the first Indian film to make waves in the US market. In a positive write-up about why RRR deserves an Oscar, perhaps for Best Picture (yes, not for Best International Feature), Douglas Laman suggests that Indian films have been unfairly ignored (h/t Hari G).Thank you for reading Shadow Warrior. This post is public so feel free to share it.The fact is that all three of the films that became visible successes in 2022 (along with other big box-office successes KGF 2, Ponniyin Selvan, Pushpa) have origins outside the formulaic Mumbai industry, and it may well be the beginning of a trend. The three are distinctive and different, and it is arguable that they are archetypes of three types or even three genres of cinema. Cinema as spectacleRRR is cinema as spectacle (harking back to the big Hollywood productions whose intent it was to awe); The Kashmir Files is realistic, almost documentary in tone; and Kantara, the most difficult to precisely pigeonhole, is impressionistic, a cultural phenomenon immersing you in a world that you must be an insider to fully appreciate. RRR is the easiest for audiences to appreciate, because it compels suspension of disbelief, and draws you into its make-believe world with its fantastic stunts and subtle theme of rebellion against authority and cruel white colonialism (which appeals to the newly woke sentiment of film fans especially in the US). It is cinema as entertainment; the dances and the swashbuckling take center stage with the buddy story while the freedom struggle is sort of in the background.In a sense this kind of cinema is the lineal descendant of the story-tellers and bards of old. In India we had the katha-kalakshepam artists and traveling theater troupes telling/performing stories from the Puranas. Similarly, in many places there were shadow-puppet shows, again with heroic stories from the epics (like the wayang kulit of Java). Children would sit breathless often in dim lamplight, entranced by tales of brave warriors and fair maidens. SS Rajamouli, the director of RRR, is in that tradition: he tells tall tales, and he does it well. In fact, his two Baahubali films were masterpieces of the art, and they were among the very best Indian films in decades. Gorgeous sets, glorious set-piece battles, beautiful princesses, treachery, stalwart warriors, noble companions, fearsome villains – the works. And they were entirely believable because they were epics set in the (distant) mythical past, fables. Hollywood used to specialize in these too: remember Ben Hur and the like? Or even Kurosawa's Ran, Seven Samurai and Kagemusha. Therein lies my small gripe about RRR: since it is set in the recent past, I found it hard to engage with the superhuman stunts and the dance sequences, which were quite appropriate in the Baahubali films. Okay, that's just me.This also probably means that Rajamouli will be snatched away by Hollywood's rich ecosystem, as has happened to talented Hong Kong and Australian directors, who moved on to bigger and better things and global fame after relocating. That would be good for him, but bad for Indian film. Realist cinema, including cinema verite I am a fan of the understated and realistic school, having always preferred the low-key off-Bollywood film, such as Charulata, Pather Panchali, Bhuvan Shome, Chomana Dudi and in particular in Malayalam Uttarayanam, Thampu, Elippathayam. There is a subset of this realism, the class of historical film that does not veer into propaganda, for instance the Soviet masterpiece Battleship Potemkin or the Jewish-holocaust epic Schindler's List.Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, who created The Kashmir Files, is known for his powerful and hard-hitting contemporary portrayals of Indian culture. His Buddha in a Traffic Jam was an indictment of the ‘Urban Naxal' phenomenon that seems to have infiltrated academia and media, and which, one could cogently argue, is a grave and existential threat to the nation. All of us who lived through the dark days of the 1990s and remember the newspaper headlines about Jammu and Kashmir then knew terrible things happened there to the minority population: a violent, religion-motivated ethnic cleansing. But much of this was swept under the carpet in the interest of some Nehruvian-Stalinist secularism. Unlike for other peoples who were targeted and exterminated, there has been no truth and reconciliation for Kashmiri Hindus.The Kashmir Files is almost entirely based on actual, well-documented atrocities against a defenseless civilian population, slightly fictionalized, and it is a damning indictment of the fecklessness of the Indian State, and in particular of the mindset that allowed the murders, rapes, and ethnic cleansing of Indian citizens by foreign-funded terrorists. [Note the Jammu attacks on Jan 2, 2023 as well: Hindus targeted and shot, and IEDs left in the house].That an Israeli leftist film-maker dared to deride TKF as ‘vulgar propaganda' as the head of the jury of the government-sponsored International Film Festival of India 2022 shows that the pusillanimity of the Indian State continues to this day. (I was also reminded of the powerful Malayalam Piravi, about one of the young men who ‘disappeared' during the Emergency.) But nothing takes away from the reality of the Kashmir holocaust; TKF is as chilling, and as accurate, a portrait as the Killing Fields was of Pol Pot's Cambodian holocaust of the 1970s. Thanks for reading Shadow Warrior! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.Cultural and spiritual phenomenonKantara is a difficult-to-define film, because it doesn't fit into a neat category. I wish I could say it was like Kurasawa's works, for example Rashomon, which immerse you into medieval Japan without apology or explanation. But Kurosawa was deeply influenced not only by traditional Japanese literature and theater, but also by Western film and theater traditions, and therefore his work is pretty much immediately understandable to a Western audience. Not so with Kantara. It is hard enough for many Indians to relate to the film; I imagine it would be well-nigh impossible for those from a non-Hindu frame of mind to do so. Even among Hindus, quite a few were baffled and could not relate to it. I was induced to see it by a wonderful review by the photographer Gowri Subramanya, and my expectations were sky-high.I could immediately understand and relate to the idea that there are spirits all around, a typically Hindu view. Thinking about it later, I remembered O V Vijayan's Little Ones, about benign family spirits that appeared as little dancing points of light, always there in times of trouble. But many Hindus might find it hard to relate to.I too had a bit of a hard time relating to the protagonist Siva's (played by director Rishab Shetty himself) wayward life: all the drinking and boar-hunting and the ‘bro' life irritated me because I wanted him to be the bhoota kola spirit dancer that he avoided becoming. (Spoiler alert) But in the end, he cannot evade his destiny, and in a glorious apotheosis he does become the fearsome Guliga. I later realized he had to go through his Hero's Journey (as Nambi did in Rocketry): that was what the story was all about. Maybe I was primed to appreciate Kantara, as Malabar's theyyams are almost identical to the bhoota kola in neighboring Tulunadu. I have watched, at dusk, the awe-inspiring appearance of the thee-poti, or the Devi with fire; and the Gulikan, the fierce guardian deity. They appeal to me, for I believe in this land and its ancient autochthonic deities. And here's an interesting dance interpretation of varaharoopam by two Kerala women. Varaha Roopam|Dance choreography |Pooja and Mariya |KantaraBut a lot of Hindus have been gaslighted and taught in school to disdain the gods of their ancestors; they have picked up half-baked Western, Abrahamic prejudices, which in the final analysis are based on blind faith that is doctrinally defined to be unquestionable. They are apologetic, and may try to ‘explain' the Hindu world-view to those who are programmed to not comprehend. If you will pardon my introducing a personal note, this is very much like what happened when the late Varsha Bhosle and I started writing unapologetic Hindu nationalist columns on rediff.com around 1995. They resonated with many; but others, nurtured on standard leftie fare, fulminated against us as though we violated their deeply held beliefs. Well, actually, yes. I have seen innumerable films that either demonize Hinduism (almost the entire oeuvre of Urduwood) or try to present a sanitized face for Western consumption. Kantara is the first film I have seen that presents Hindu beliefs as itihasa (iti-hasa, thus it is and was). This is the way things are. Deal with it. The fact that these three films of three different genres were successful – and the intensely patriotic Rocketry: The Nambi Effect was a hit too – is a tremendous boost for India. It's time to move away from self-flagellating mediocrity to proudly present Indian cinema as part of a cultural renaissance, as Japan, Hong Kong and Korea have done in the past. 1750 words, 1 Jan 2023 This is a public episode.

“You just like children. Have eyes but don't see. You try live in taiga, soon dead.” We're joined by illustrator and poster designer Tony Stella to discuss what might be Akira Kurosawa's most neglected masterpiece, Dersu Uzala! The trio discusses where the film, an unexpected Russian-Japanese co-production, fits into the filmography of a filmmaker any reasonable cinephile would consider to be among the greatest to ever do it. Coming shortly on the heels of Kurosawa's suicide attempt, Dersu represents a strange spiritual transformation for the filmmaker but one that led directly to his stunning creative rebirth with Kagemusha, Ran and Dreams. The film follows a Russian army officer in the early 20th century on a series missions exploring the far reaches of the taiga on the border between Russia and China. On his initial trip into the extreme and unforgiving wilderness, he meets the titular character, a strange woodsman who yells at fire, shoots with supernatural accuracy, and knows the landscape better than anyone who ever lived. It's the story of an unlikely friendship between impressive, seemingly indomitable men.

Will the Nabooans ever be able to tell Gungans apart? What happens when one writer wants to make an homage to The Three Musketeers, and the other one to Kurosawa's Kagemusha? We answer these and other questions.  (P.S. Anakin is captured by Dooku, and that's like the C story!)Our Jedi Fortune Cookie is "Who a person truly is cannot be seen with the eye." The radio announcer chimes in to tell us that Naboo is in peril - civil unrest leads to rumors that the Gungans will side with the separatists and attack Theed, leading Padme and Anakin to head back there. They meet up with Jar-Jar, who informs them that Boss Lyonie is blaming the Naboo for all the problems, and calling for the Gungan military to march on Theed. Anakin quickly realizes Lyonie has been possessed by an evil necklace; once removed, Lyonie realizes he's been tricked by new minister Rish Loo. The minister is in league with the Separatists - once he realizes Lyonie is no longer under control, Rish Loo stabs him and makes his escape.While ensuring the not-dead-yet Lyonie has proper medical care, Anakin and PAdme realize that Jar-Jar looks a lot like Lyonie when wearing the crown, and also has the same voice actor, so he could just pretend to be Boss Lyonie and fix things! Rish Loo rallies the troops to attack Theed to avenge Boss Lyonie , but Boss Lyonie/Jar-Jar shows up to talk them out of it. Rish Loo escapes on a speeder this time, chased by Anakin. At the same time, the droid army arrives to find out why the attack was canceled. "Boss Lyonie'' meets with General Grievous to attempt to call it off. When that doesn't work, he has General Tarpals leave and make a quick speech to Padme about how he really likes the Naboo people and is definitely not going to die in the attack on General Grievous. Then the Gungans attack Grievous, and Tarpals dies, sacrificing himself so Grievous can be captured.Darth Sidious says this is bad, and orders Dooku to capture Skywalker, then trade him back to the Republic for Grievous. Rish Loo leads Skywalker to Dooku, who is also on Naboo. Once they both arrive, Dooku kills Rish Loo, then he and a number of MagnaGuard attack Skywalker and the battle rages! The numbers game is too much for Anakin, and he is captured. Dooku offers the trade, which Padme regretfully declines - Grievous is far more valuable. But Jar-Jar and Lyonie talk her into accepting the deal, because of friendship. The exchange happens, and we reach THE END.The Clone Wars: Season 4 Episodes 5 and 6: https://www.disneyplus.com/video/794938c4-0700-4b1f-a6c3-20aff7ca1b39https://twitter.com/ClosingCrawlhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/closing-crawl/id1530133296https://www.closingcrawl.com/On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz9X-57K6-VV_GkUBaqvyeAMerch: https://bit.ly/spacetimetm

Featuring special guest Peter Hogenson (https://twitter.com/phogenson)! Kurosawa's KAGEMUSHA – “shadow warrior” – is more than a tale of double identity. It's an examination of the politics of identity, who we become when we assume social positions, and the absurdities of class, all with a distinctly Kurosawa touch. For this episode, we're joined by filmmaker Peter Hogenson, whose experience with the craft of filmmaking has given him a whole new appreciation for its grandiosity, believability, and heart.

In Previously On (1:26)… they go bananas (better than flinging their feces, right?) for the trailer of Hulu's upcoming Hit-Monkey series as well as recap the latest episode of What If…? and predict what's coming next. Then in The Airlock (17:09) Jason and Cody dive deep (deeeeep) on three shorts from Star Wars: Visions: “The Duel” (Kamikaze Douga), “Tatooine Rhapsody” (Studio Colorido), and “The Twins” (Studio TRIGGER). Next, Jason cracks open The Omnibus (42:23) to explore the life and work of visionary director Akira Kurosawa and his prominent influence on the Star Wars universe. In The Hive Mind (1:00:34), Jason, Cody, and writer Alicia Lutes question whether Star Wars needs cinema when it has such good serialized storytelling in Clone Wars, The Mandalorian, and more. Finally, in today's Endgame (1:19:57 )Jason & co. award their Medals of Yavin to the best characters from these three Visions shorts. Who was your favorite? Use #XRVEndgame to let us know!

As a followup to the Spoiler Alert episode discussing Kurosawa’s Kagemusha and Ran, Brennan is sitting down with Tim to discuss the Godzilla franchise, many of which were directed by Kurosawa’s compatriot Honda Ishiro! Join us as we discuss the various horrible forms that baby Godzilla has taken throughout the years, our top (and bottom) 3 Godzilla films, and even get a scoop on next week’s main feed episode!"

Our next podcast topic comes courtesy of Patreon subscriber Andrew, who had a simple request: watch and discuss two of the richest, most exhausting costume dramas ever filmed. It's a Spoiler Alert this time around, as we dive deep into the late epics by the legendary Japanese director Kurosawa Akira: the 1980 Palme d'Or winner Kagemusha, and the monumental King Lear adaptation Ran, from 1985. That's almost six hours of the most sumptuous pageantry Japanese cinema (or world cinema, for that matter) has to offer, and six hours of the most morally complicated anti-war fury as well. It's no small task to undertake both of these movies in one go, but we're up for the challenge! In Worth Mentioning we're cover Tom & Jerry, Coming 2 America, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, Raya and the Last Dragon, Language Lessons and Yes Day.

After the success of Star Wars, George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola teamed up to executive produce Kagemusha (The Shadow Warrior), Akira Kurosawa’s triumphant return to large-scale filmmaking that took home the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1980. Sengoku period Japan comes to life with a historic budget and massive, colorful armies to tell the story of the legendary Takeda clan’s downfall. With domestic and international distribution, this is the rare Kurosawa film with multiple versions, the differences between which we go into detail on. Listen here: https://linktr.ee/sanshirosboys Tim has a particular soft spot for this one and has a published article available on the Asian cinema website Filmed In Ether dissecting Kagemusha’s use of shadows and how they aptly reflect the film’s legacy 40 years later. Read it here: https://www.filmedinether.com/features/kagemusha-40-year-anniversary-kurosawa/

On today’s episode, I am joined by my cousin Sean Clark who picked Akria Kurosawa’s 1954 epic Seven Samurai. It’s considered from both a technical and ­­ cultural level, whether it be from its editing, camera techniques, symbolism, and its dialogue, as the most influential, remade, reworked, and referenced films of all time as well perhaps the greatest film ever made. Akira Kurosawa had created many films besides Seven Samurai that were remade and emulated by the most well-respected directors over the nearly 60 years he worked in the film industry. Rashomon, Yojimbo, Throne of Blood, The Hidden Fortress, Kagemusha, and Ran have all been personally cited as inspirations for the upper echelons of the directing world. The directors that Kurosawa’s films were muses for were; Ingmar Bergman, Frederico Fellini, Bernardo Bertolucci, Andrei Tarkovsky, Werner Herzog, Stanley Kubrick, and probably most famously, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas as you’ll see in the next episode of Cinemallennials. Seven Samurai follows a village of poor farmers and their families under threat of yet another harvest raiding party made by a group of brutal bandits in one of Japan’s deadliest periods. After consulting with the local wise man, the farmers are set on their quest to find hungry samurai who are willing to defend the village from its impending doom. The farmers achieve their goal of finding and feeding their hungry samurai, but even both the villagers and the samurai might not be who they exactly claim to be. So, sit back relax, and don’t try to recruit samurai by attempting to knock them out. You can purchase Seven Samurai here Cinemallennials is a podcast where myself and another millennial are introduced to a classic film for the very first time ranging from the birth of cinema to the 1960s. Myself and my guest will open your eyes to the vast landscape of classic film as we discuss the films' performers, their performances, those behind the camera, and how they and their films still influence our world today.

In our 229th episode, we're talking spine #267 in the Criterion Collection: Akira Kurosawa's KAGEMUSHA from 1980. As a time capsule, might be of note that this was recorded as shit went down at the US Capitol Building in Washington, DC. But don't worry, we read listener email, talk about DS9 Season 5, MGS 2, and SUPER GHOULS N GHOSTS, too. Podcast's intro song 'Here Come the Creeps' by Ugly Cry Club.

Having parted company with the Kagemusha, Lee & Chris head towards more populated areas of Japan where they find themselves in the middle of a gang war with a former cop playing both sides before running into a teenage boy who's having a little trouble suppressing his carnal desires.

Having witnessed miracles they couldn't quite fathom, Chris & Lee hightail it to feudal Japan where they cross paths with a petty thief who, after it's noticed bears a striking resemblance to a warlord, assumes the position of the dying patriarch and finds himself forced to become a true leader.

Published: 01-10-2020, review of Throne of Blood, by Robert N. Watson, available from Bloomsbury here. Throne of Blood (1957), Akira Kurosawa’s reworking of Macbeth, is widely considered the greatest film adaptation of Shakespeare ever made. In a detailed account of the film, Robert N. Watson explores how Kurosawa draws key philosophical and psychological arguments from Shakespeare, translates them into striking visual metaphors, and inflects them through the history of post-World War II Japan. Watson places particular emphasis on the contexts that underlie the film’s central tension between individual aspiration and the stability of broader social and ecological collectives – and therefore between free will and determinism. In his foreword to this new edition, Robert Watson considers the central characters’ Washizu and his wife Asaji’s blunder in viewing life as a ruthless competition in which only the most brutal can thrive in the context of an era of neoliberal economics, resurgent ‘strongman’ political leaders, and myopic views of the environmental crisis, with nothing valued that cannot be monetized. Throne of Blood, by Robert N. Watson, reviewed Kurosawa is both a great Japanese director and an interesting example of the endless cultural exchanges that continue working their way out across time and geography. For many of us our first exposure would have been indirectly via the Magnificent Seven movies, initially with Yul Bryner and a great cast of supporting heroes. If you liked those, then the cooler older brothers or fathers (thanks) would then sagely nod and say yeah but they are only a remake of Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai. They would be absolutely right, but, unlike say Kurosawa’s contemporary Ozu who delivered much more Japanese focussed stories (which are great in their own way too) Kurosawa was more aware and influenced by the legacy of US film and Western literature. As mentioned in the blurb notes above, Throne of Blood is simply Macbeth relocated to feudal Japan. The movie loses nothing by doing this, and in many ways gains a lot. Some consider this to be one of the best interpretations of Shakespear in film, though if you wanted to add Romeo+Juliet into the mix we wouldn’t argue with you (and Robbie the Robot was a fun effort too). This book works well for drawing in these bigger picture musings, and if it helps to introduce Kurosawa to a new audience then it has served it’s purpose. The first time we watched Hidden Fortress, the similarities with a mega American 70s sci-fi blockbuster immediately became obvious. Highlighting an integral part Kurosawa has played in both world cinema and also inspiring the US film industry. Ran and Kagemusha are also stunning visual classics that surely influenced and inspired the subsequent epics of Zhang Yimou too. The books in this series are short but fun, provocative, and thoughtful. This one sits well within this premise and is well worth checking out, as well as the many and varied films of Kurosawa.

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 68th episode of "VideoFuzzy," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 2,900 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Pretty Good Year," I took some time to do some home improvements, cleanup and reorganization around here and the impact this had on my cataloging efforts, along with a few observations on our social and political landscape. For my Friday Night Feature, I explore a very special fifth-season episode of "Desperate Housewives," celebrating their 100th episode, built around the impact of a good man on his neighbors and his neighborhood. It featured Beau Bridges as handyman Eli Scruggs. In Cross Connections, I trace him as a Golden Thread in my collection. Also, fond reflections on Regis Philbin and Chadwick Boseman. In What I've Been Watching, I took in the North Dakota Shakespeare Festival's Shakespeare in the Parking Lot production of "Hamlet" -- a drive-in production in a parking lot with four people. In my Classic VHS-to-DVD Collection, I talk about slow-walking my cataloging of "The West Wing," as well as episodes from the seventh season of "24," "Monk," President George W. Bush's farewell speech, and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" send-off for him, and President Barack Obama's inauguration. In my Current, direct-to-DVD Collection, comments on "The Alienist: Angel of Darkness," homeburns of the third season of "Legion" and "The Book of Eli," "Assassin's Creed," "The Shape of Water," "Inglourious Basterds," "The Family Fang," "Juno," "Game Night," "Wakefield," "The Commuter," "The Accountant," "Downsizing," "The Town," "The Circle," "Kagemusha," "The Fury," "The Phantom of the Paradise," "Across the Universe," "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping" with Adam Samberg and Sarah Silverman, "What We Do in the Shadows," "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," "Solo: A Star Wars Story," "Ant-Man and The Wasp," "X2: X-Men United," "Keep Watching," "Toast of London" and "The November Man," which needed a lot more razzing than I was ultimately able to give it here. Finally, in my Off The Shelf segment, I pulled up my VHS copy of "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie" and commercial disc sets of "Arrested Development: Season Four," "Fargo: Season Two," "The Crazy Ones," and this fantastic DVD I found called "Dave Made a Maze" -- track it down, you won't be sorry.

En primer plano la efigie de Gong Li da la noticia a su madrastra, se va de casa para ser la concubina de un hombre acaudalado. Dos lágrimas se derraman por el inmóvil rostro de la estudiante. Es la China anterior a Mao, la de principios del siglo XX. Yimou se inspira en la novela Esposas y concubinas de Su Tong, y alcanza las más líricas cotas de su filmografía. Cuatro mujeres encerradas en una jaula dorada. Todo se cuenta desde una perspectiva femenina, al señor apenas se le ve la cara, habla en susurros y muchas veces fuera de campo, solo se oye su voz. El aire viciado del palacete y las intrigas, celos e inquinas entre damas y sirvientas se harán insoportables para la nueva dama. En esa casa de oropeles y piedra las reglas deben respetarse. La cuarta esposa debe olvidar su vida anterior, resignarse a la rutina, a la falsa calidez de unas linternas rojas. De ahí que muy temprano la joven salga a los tejados a escuchar el canto de su compañera de encierro, ella si sonríe y le aconseja, debe aceptar su nueva vida. La belleza pictórica sitúa la película de Yimou a la altura del más colorista Kurosawa, el de "Ran" o "Kagemusha". Los tonos rojos, anaranjados, transmiten una artificiosa calidez, las gamas de grises y azul cobalto en el horizonte invernal anuncian el drama. La puesta en escena, la decoración, la cuidada utilización del color, la minuciosa composición en planos fijos y apenas movimiento de cámara, la iluminación natural sobre el mismo escenario, hacen de este film una obra bellísima. Yimou se preocupa en mostrar los rituales tradicionales con parsimonia. La ceremonia de colocar los faroles en el aposento de la consorte elegida, el relajante masaje en los pies, solo recibido la noche que el señor decide compartir con la afortunada esposa. Y nunca mejor dicho, porque las mujeres en ese lugar están atadas a su destino desde que entran. Las normas son estrictas, marcadas a fuego. La segunda dama, con su cara de Buda y corazón de escorpión, conoce bien la lección. Ya lo recita el niño en el poema: " Me muero de pena en mi jaula dorada...". Esta noche escuchamos el sonido de la flauta de bambú en el patio... José Miguel Moreno, Zacarías Cotán, Salvador Limón, Fran Romero y Raúl Gallego.

I love sports. I'm glad sports is coming back in the US; I have been quite enjoying the NWSL tournament. But MLS and MLB's train wrecks have been absolutely terrifying to watch, not that either NBA or NHL have been smooth either. I, fortunately(?) have not heard much about the WNBA's start, but I hope it is seamless. But the preventative measures these leagues have in place is simply not enough, because someone will get this virus and, sadly and inevitably, someone will die. And what will happen then? Will sports have been worth it? Stay inside, wear a mask when you go out, wash your hands, and stay safe. Anyway. We are here in July, still staying away from other humans, still doing takeout to support local business, and still talking about Akira Kurosawa movies and sports anime.

I love sports. I’m glad sports is coming back in the US; I have been quite enjoying the NWSL tournament. But MLS and MLB’s train wrecks have been absolutely terrifying to watch, not that either NBA or NHL have been smooth either. I, fortunately(?) have not heard much about the WNBA’s start, but I hope […]

I've been tweeting sparsely on my own account, and retweeting vigorously on my account, Taiiku's account, and Manga In Your Ears' account of the current events, but Black Lives Matter. I reserve this space for sports ramblings, but this is more important. I don't know what reach we have here at my little podcast, but whatever we have, I will use for this. Please donate if you can, keep tweeting about everything, call your legislatures, protest, and vote. This episode, Chris (@gokuffy) and I continue our journey through Kurosawa solo with Kurosawa's only majority non-Japanese language film, Dersu Uzala! Then, Chris, Basil (@itsbasiltime), and I talk about Cross Manage, the lacrosse manga! For more Cross Manage content, check out our Manga In Your Ears episode on it. Also Chris, @antoniuspius Chris, is not on this Kurosawa episode because Chris and I recorded this way back on December 10, 2017 back when we thought the Filmstruck was going down and we thought we'd never be able to watch Dersu Uzala otherwise. So we jumped on the recording, and by the time we got here in podcast time, the Criterion Channel exists, and you can watch it there. Listen Show notes: 0:30 - Chris and I talk about Dersu Uzala! 46:07 - Chris, Basil, and I talk about Cross Manage! 1:17:57 - Questions! Next time is Kagemusha and Kono Oto Tomare!

On a ressorti le film Kagemusha !On change de pays et même d’époque tant qu’à faire. Bienvenue dans Kagemusha l'ombre du guerrier d'Akira Kurosawa. Accrochez-vous parce qu’on va se marrer ou se perdre (c’est selon).Japon, XVIème siècle, une féroce guerre des clans divise l’archipel. L’un des plus puissants est le clan Takeda mené par le leader charismatique et quasi vénéré Shingen. Il rêve de prendre la capitale, Kyoto et ainsi devenir seigneur du pays. Mais lors de l’assaut du château de Noda il est mortellement blessé. Il fait alors passer un ordre un peu spécial pour sauvegarder son clan. Le frère de Shingen met dont en place un stratagème pour respecter la volonté de son frère. Il va utiliser un banal voleur comme doublure, l’idée semble étrange au départ mais ce dernier est le sosie parfait du seigneur défunt. Mais le Kagemusha (guerrier de l’ombre en japonais) n’a que le physique de commun avec le chef de clan. Sa présence et son allure manquent plusieurs fois de le faire démasquer mais il apprendra vite la vérité sur son rôle. Il comprendra dès lors, l’importance de sa mission quand il découvrira la vérité et réussira a bluffer les espions ennemis, le petit fils, les concubines et même ceux qui sont dans la confidence !Mais autant chez l’ennemi que dans le clan, des manigances se préparent dans l’ombre…Le film s’ouvre sur un plan unique, fixe et statique de six minutes. On nous présente ici Shingen Takeda, son frère, Nobukado et un voleur qui vient d’échapper à la peine de mort. La ressemblance flagrante entre lui et le seigneur Takeda pourrait bien servir au clan. Tatsuya Nakadai jouant les deux rôles (celui de Shingen et du Kagemusha) le plan est évidement un astucieux trucage. En VF pour accentuer la différence deux comédiens diffèrent doubleront chacun des personnages ; à savoir les talentueux Pierre Hatet et Marc De Georgi.Tatsuya Nakadai a la dure tache d’incarner la figure historique de Shingen Takeda, mais aussi sa doublure. Ce qui pour un acteur traditionnel ne serait pas chose aisé mais Nakadai était un véritable caméléon pouvant tout jouer et étant méconnaissable film après film. Son talent l’avait même fait devenir petit à petit le remplaçant de Toshiro Mifune comme acteur fétiche de Kurosawa. Et si vous le cherchez aujourd’hui, le bougre n’est pas mort, il est au casting du film d’animation Le Conte de la princesse Kaguya, un film récemment réalisé par le grand Isao Takahata.Kagemusha permis à son auteur, âgé à l’époque de 70 ans, d’avoir enfin la reconnaissance internationale qu’il méritait, et rafler au passage la Palme D’or à Cannes en 1980. Mais au prix de quelques concessions. N’arrivant pas à obtenir le budget nécessaire pour son projet, Kurosawa se tourna vers la peinture pour raconter son histoire. Ces peintures servirent à convaincre ses deux plus grands fans, George Lucas et Francis F.Coppola, de produire son film (rien que ça !). Ces peintures serviront également de story-board et on peut dire que ça se voit ; de par le foisonnement de couleurs omniprésentes, visibles sur les costumes authentiques. Mais aussi par la photographie, les scènes de bataille couvertes d’éclairs rouge feu ou la célèbre scène du rêve qu’on croirait tout droit sortie de l’imaginaire torturé d’un aliéné.Bon après, ce n’est peut-être pas le plus épique des films de genre qu’on pourrait voir. Il suffit de regarder Les 7 Samouraïs pour s’en rendre compte, mais il est bon de nuancer cela au regard de la scène de batailles finale tournée en deux mois et inspirée de la véritable bataille de Nagashino de 1575.Pour conclure, notons que la Bande Originale du film est composée par Shinishiro Ikebe. Au final, que dire de ce film, qui n’a pas déjà été dit, film magistral, avec sa mise en scène extraordinaire. Les superlatifs manquent, donc pour conclure je dirais bêtement « Uwasa wo Sureba Kage » ! Comprenne qui pourra…Retrouve tous les podcasts du Cinéma Avec Un Grand A sur les plateformes de podcasts:

In the Japanese Sengoku period, a diminishing number of daimyos battle to see who will unite the country and become Shogun. The Takeda clan is headed by the immoveable Shingen, fighting the combined forces of Nobunaga and Tokugawa. When Shingen is mortally wounded, his generals bring in a double - a kagemusha - to keep the clan from collapsing and their enemies on their toes. A magnificent return to form for the emperor of film, Akira Kurosawa, with Tatsuya Nakadai taking on the roles of the feared Takeda daimyo and his low-caste double.

Por fin acabamos con el tema... extendiéndonos bastante más de lo previsto. Así a lo tonto son casi dos horas de podcast, pero una vez grabado ya era demasiado tarde como para tirar para atrás y hacerlo en tres partes.Una cosa que no mencioné en la anterior y aprovecho para hacer aquí es que las canciones que metemos (tanto en una parte como en la otra), aparte de las de los videojuegos Samurai Shodown II, Bushido Blade, Inindo y Samurai Warriors, son de Ensemble Nipponia, siendo las canciones de la segunda parte Edo Komoriuta (Nana de Edo) y Mushi no Aikata (Interludio del insecto), y la de la primera parte: Atsumori (basada en la muerte del joven Taira no Atsumori narrada en los Genji Monogatari (cuentos de los Genji)).

Kurosawa gets real about Japan's unreal view of history through his most history steeped historical fiction.

Alexandre e Fred chegam ao episódio 70 do Podcast Filmes Clássicos para fechar uma das mais influentes carreiras do cinema, a do diretor japonês Akira Kurosawa. Ao longo deste período, depois de viver momentos conturbados em sua vida pessoal, chegando até mesmo a tentativa de suicídio, Kurosawa conseguiu reerguer sua vida profissional com a ajuda de ilustres cineastas americanos e o resultado foi um ótimo fechamento para uma filmografia quase irretocável. Neste áudio, passamos por todos os seus filmes de 1963 a 1993, entre eles “Céu e Inferno” (Tengoku to jigoku, 1963), “O Barba Ruiva” (Akahige, 1965), “Kagemusha, A Sombra de um Samurai” (“Kagemusha”, 1980) e “Ran” (Ran, 1985). Outros como “Sonhos” (Yume, 1990), “Rapsódia em Agosto” (Hachi-gatsu no rapusodî, 1991) e seu último filme, “Madadayo” (Madadayo, 1993) também passam por aqui. Com este terceiro e último episódio sobre obra e vida de Akira Kurosawa, o Podcast Filmes Clássicos se torna o primeiro podcast brasileiro a se debruçar sobre a totalidade da carreira de um dos mais brilhantes diretores que o cinema conheceu.

Edición nº 147 Un caballo a galope, el jinete espolea su montura, contrae sus facciones salvajes, al fondo un cielo que presagia tormenta. Hoy recordamos la fuerza, el ritmo y la épica de un director inusual , de un artista japonés al que llamaban el emperador, "Tenno". Como descendiente de samuráis, Kurosawa procuró seguir los dictados del código bushido en su propia vida, el código de honor de sus películas de samuráis y ronin, de Rashomon, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, de los Siete Samurais, quintaesencia de su legado. Su humanismo es la base de toda su obra, de Dersu Uzala, la historia del cazador solitario, o Barbaroja, el médico acomodado que se enfrenta a la pobreza, películas que lo encumbraron en el Olimpo de los grandes realizadores mundiales. Kurosawa Comenzó a destacar como guionista en sus tiempos de ayudante de dirección de su sensei o maestro, el realizador Kajiro Yamamoto, y se dio a conocer en el mundo occidental ya en los 50 con Rashomon, su relato caleidoscópico sobre un crimen, que impresionó a propios y extraños, ya contaba con la poderosa presencia de su actor favorito, Toshiro Mifune. Kurosawa amalgama su amor por las tradiciones japonesas, por el teatro Noh, por la historia feudal de sus antepasados, y su admiración por las formas occcidentales, por la agilidad del cine que se hacía allende el Pacífico. El hombre que filmaba los veranos tórridos y los inviernos helados, las tormentas de nieve, la lluvia y el viento, como nadie, que tan bien integraba en su cine, desde su primera La leyenda del gran Judo a sus tardías explosiones de movimiento y color, Kagemusha, la sombra del guerrero y Ran. Adaptó brillantemente a Shakespeare y sus universos de realidad y ficción, a sus personajes majestuosos o necios, serenos o agitados. En Trono de sangre, su particular Macbeth trasladado al Japón feudal, y El rey Lear en Ran, también a su admirado Dostoievski en El idiota, que no obtuvo buenos resultados en taquilla. Autor visceral, fatalista, melodramático en ocasiones, épico, moral, bucólico, humanista ante todo, joyas imperecederas como la obra maestra Ikiru, el Umberto D japonés que se aferra a la vida, o su pintura en celuloide sobre la pobreza, Dodes'ka-den, entre vital y abúlica, reverso de su anterior Los bajos fondos. Esta noche José Miguel Moreno y Raúl Gallego comparten una botella de sake y un poco de miso, recordando al maestro en Radiopolis.

On this episode we welcome Anthony Ayala from Nerdbot back to the studio to talk about their livestreams and upcoming events. We also talk about the new JL trailer and Netlflix's Iron Fist, with a touch of Saban's Power Rangers for Current Events. We review Rookie of the Year, Kagemusha, and The Longest Day for Blast from the Past and we close out the show by playing some Mad-Libs.

Oh my god, it's really going to happen: We're going to wrap up the first year of this project, and it's starting to feel... really comfortable. Do you have trouble telling GATES OF HEAVEN and HEAVEN'S GATE apart? You won't after this episode. Have you ever seen the Golan-Globus musical THE APPLE? We have, and we still can't believe it's real. And if you want a great example of high art and low art existing side by side, we're doing both KAGEMUSHA and SHOGUN ASSASSIN. It's November 1980, and it rules!

Akira Kurosawa is a genius director of all cinema! We celebrate the movies Kagemusha and Rashomon! Plus, we share an examination of -- "The Rashomon Effect" -- to reveal unwitting, but human, embarrassments!

In this episode, we look at the Takeda clan during the 1560s. After Uesugi Kenshin effectively stopped Takeda Shingen in his tracks at the 4th battle of Kawanakajima in 1561, Shingen was forced to re-evaluate his goals in the region, which led to the 1560’s being a time of great change in the Takeda clan.

Llega un momento (otra vez) en la vida de todo podcast, en que es la hora (otra vez) de hacer una pequeña pausa (otra vez). Bueno, sí, que no es la primera vez que tenemos que hacer un parón (he escrito esta palabra demasiadas veces este mes) por motivos personales, pero lo tenéis que comprender. Roberto se nos casa y hay que hacer una fiesta en honor a esa pobre chica que va a tener que soportarlo durante el resto de su vida.
