Needless to say, Akira Kurosawa is an excellent director and master of his craft. There is no point in proving that he has achieved visual perfection - you have to see the movie "Ran". In the relatively distant 1985, Kurosawa made a truly majestic film, and in our time, with the help of modern technology, its peak cannot be reached. No modern film will make us freeze in admiration for what is happening in front of our eyes. "Ran" is no longer a film, it is the poetry of nature, battles and Destiny. Maybe this film by Kurosawa and lost the soulfulness of his early paintings, but in "The Wound", there is such a majesty and without exaggeration - Power, comparable to the canvases of the great masters. It is this Film that proves that cinema is not the most mundane art form, that cinema already contains both a poem and a picture.
The film is based on the work of Shakespeare - "King Lear". But only the foundation remains, because we will be dealing with feudal Japan, with civil strife and the struggle for land. This is the story of retribution for what he did, the story of the fall of the dynasty. "Ran" is a tragedy that we will watch with pleasure, because there is something to see. This film is as if created in order to convey majesty, to become an example of the epic at its best. One can talk endlessly about the majesty of this film. You can talk about this pre-storm sky, so coldly and indifferently watching what is happening, or about the incredible beauty of the costumes, about the amazing armor, about how Kurosawa shows the horror of battles and murder, through streams of blood, and not through wounds. You can't read about it, you have to see it and let this really beautiful sight pass through yourself. The protractedness of some episodes, the absurdity of some characters fade with such visual performance.
You just need to see this film and understand why Akira Kurosawa is one of the best directors in the history of cinema.
