Mine's Dersu Uzala.
But it's hard to pick just one.

Mine Dersu Uzala too

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 03-13-2005, 03:04 PM

Dersu Uzala was the first Kurosawa movie that I watched, and remains among my favorites.

Practically every top director in America has studied Kurosawa's films. His impact on George Lucas and Quentin Tarentino is particularly noticeable.

Kurosawa is probably best known for his samurai epics. Of those movies, Kagemusha ("Shadow Warrior"), remains my favorite.

What I respect most about Kurosawa is that he did an amazing job of changing with the times and becoming more of a painter with moving pictures as his life progressed.

My favorite Kurosawa movie is "Dreams", which was one of his last films. I think he knew his end was near, and so he wanted to make a statement about the environment, which he masterfully did.

"Man is a genius when he is dreaming".

My best friend is a huge fan of Asian cinema and has been educating me on Kurosawa. When I mentioned this thread to him his answer was 'sanjuro'.

I forgot about that one.

BTW, I heard that "Ikiru" is being re-made with Tom Hanks in the title role - no kidding...it's due out next year.

Does that mean Kurosawa ripped off Tolkien?!? I heard that the "Seven Samurai" was originally titled "Lord of the Seven Samurai" (in Japanese I think it was called something like "Shogun of the Seven Samurai").

Anyone else see Woody Allen's "What's Up Tiger Lily"?
