Probably like most film school students I had a Kurosawa obsession. These are incredible to see. Would love a framed reprint of some.

- Jaygles 6y agoI'm not much into television or big screen media but for some reason I really got into Kurosawa films. Right after watching Seven Samurai I went and got as many Kurosawa films I could get my hands on. I think there are only a couple I haven't seen now. They just ooze creativity and inspiration. Every actor is perfect for the role. Every shot is perfect for the scene. It all comes together to tell the story the way it was meant to be told. The pacing is on point. The mood is on point. Kurosawa's films are really a study on how to produce quality. One of my biggest complaints for modern films is how much they try and fit in each unit of time. It feels like they don't respect what they're trying to portray. There's value in pause. There's value in waiting and letting things sink in to the viewer. We don't need to rush everything. It takes time to appreciate.
