Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Osmosis Iron Kurosawa's take on Macbeth, truly magnificent! From the ominous premonition in the Cobweb forest till the unforgettable ending, this film has such a great and natural atmosphere that it feels like this story could not take place anywhere else. Mifune is absolutely great in this. Probably my favorite film from Kurosawa!

Smoreni Zmaj "Kumonosu-jo" is Kurosawa's adaptation of Shakespeare's "Macbeth", placed in samurai Japan. This is the first Kurosawa's movie I saw and probably next-to-last. I will see one more, because I can't write off the man based on one movie only, but if next one is like this one I'm giving up on Kurosawa. "Macbeth" is good story, you can easily get used to Japanese over-acting, but the way Kurosawa stretches out every scene to last forever is something I can't get used to. It is a fact that every cadre is work of art, but if I wanted to watch each cadre five minutes I would go to the photo exhibition, not the cinema. Two riders ride through mist in complete silence for full three minutes. No dialogue, no body language, just two silhouettes in the fog. And so every scene. The film could easily be cut in half without a scene being thrown out. The cultural differences of the East and the West are story for themselves in which objectivity does not play any role. Armored samurai, with the lower part of pajamas and ridiculous helmets, look like clowns rather than soldiers. And the music played during opening credits is terrible creaking that made my ears bleed. I read some texts about this film that helped me understand it better and to some extent I understand why it is considered a big movie, but even that did not make me like it. My subjective impression is4/10

Kirpianuscus or, more specific, admirable meet. because Macbeth of Kurosawa is one of the most impressive Shakespeare adaptations. without can say why. but the atmosphere, the performances, the words are translations not of the play but its spirit. in this film , you feel Macbeth tragedy step by step, nuance by nuance. it is fair and almost predictable to define it a masterpiece. but it is more. like a letter from a far land, from a loved one. the precision of performances and the cold air of the dinner. the prediction and the fear. the entire last part as a fresco about the fundamental fight from universe of appearances and ambitions and deep vulnerabilities. all in the perfect form. short, a real admirable work.

daitran199980 Throne of Blood is one of my favorite Kurosawa movies, it described the ambition, which you can kill your family and your friends because of your profit.The point that I don't like about Throne of Blood is Toshiro Mifune's acting. If the first Akira Kurosawa you saw is Seven Samurai, you can understand what I mean. Because Mifune's acting in this movie isn't different from Seven Samurai, so I felt normal. Why Kurosawa always used the old cast and old acting? That is the reason that Seven Samurai is the only film I gave full stars.I think Ran (1985), which is another Kurosawa movie, is better than this film and you could call it the "remake" of this film after you saw it.
