The b***h in Ran did literally 0 wrong. They killed her family and forced her to marry her fathers murderers. In the moment when she said her objective was complete, I said "good for her". Still wanted the pops and youngest son to live though.
Ran is such a missed opportunity. Cordelia's and Lear's death in the play was extremely moving, a climactic event, but in the movie it was just played as a kind of disappointing turn of events for sober reality to come back in.
That's what makes it so good imo. I love King Lear but Kurosawa wanted to go for a much purer type of pessimism. It's genuinely sad to me how a brilliant filmmaker like him went from making deeply empathetic films about humanity to total cynicism about it later on, but he was still fricking phenomenal at expressing it.
>That's what makes it so good imo.
I agree that it had its own value in doing it that way, but I just think comparatively it's a far cry from what it would have been if it were closer to the play. Throne of Blood was so good because, in his own way, he stayed very close to the spirit of the play. It's almost like Kurosawa betrayed his earlier art, with its highly theatrical nature, with powerful, pathos-full performances, and instead we just have this image, a beautiful frame, portraying all these horrible actions by people, at a very slow pace. The camera no longer seems to want to highlight the beauty of a performance. It's beautiful in its own way, but it's not peak Kurosawa for me.
She needed more screentime tbh, she went from conniving psycho to mad with grief completely offscreen. I think lots of the characters needed more development in Throne of Blood, it should have been a 3 hour epic like Ran or Kagemusha
She also got thousands of soldiers killed to accomplish her goal though

It literally comes from the play, in which it makes perfect sense and seems in character. Personally I felt it made sense in the context of the movie too so I think your opinion is gay.

But the ultimate black pill on women is The Last Picture Show. You’ve never seen such emotional manipulation as she strings along the main guy. Won everything at the Oscar’s that year because people recognized its importance, but its legacy has fallen off. Plays on every guys worst fear, the sweet girl who wants to wait till marriage is getting screwed daily, you just weren’t man enough to take what you want and now you’re being played like a fool.
>What are some good movies exploring the true nature of women?
Any movie with the word Parasite in the title.
Any 1950s or 1960s monster flick where the man fights the monster while the woman he's protecting screams like a banshee WHILE NEVER MOVING A SINGLE STEP AWAY. The dude loses his life in horrific violence and agony to protect a c**toid moron that will do nothing to assist him (because she doesn't care), will do nothing intelligent to help him achieve goals (except shriek uselessly because she's entirely worthless), and as a final culmination of his heroic sacrifice to protect the c**toid SHE IS IMMEDIATELY EATEN BY THE BEAST (because she is a worthless idiot because she took zero actions to assist in killing the distracted monster and her shrieking attracted more monsters and she was so entirely witless in the spectacle that she took zero effort to save herself).
Or to put it bluntly, a woman is a c**toid, a life support system for her sex organs. Expect no value from them, expect no help from them, expect no loyalty from them, expect no intelligence from them. Expect only loud nagging noises and rare access to the sex organs that depend entirely upon your kindness that will never be comprehended by the c**toid or appreciated by the c**toid.

That isn't the b***h in Ran.
>and do you want me to trim your eyebrows?
>just frick my shit up famalam
Oh shit I thought it was a black and white version of a still from Ran. You expect me to tell these asian broads apart?
>You expect me to tell these asian broads apart?
Yes.
It's from Throne of Blood.
Ran is much better imo
You are entitled to your wrong opinion.
I agree with you, but only because Ran is a stone cold masterpiece. Throne of Blood is still really good, as expected by based Kurosawa.
This.

It's simplistic compared to King Lear.
That's Throne of Blood I think.

Yeah but the movie isn't the play. Its the movie. It should be able to stand on its own and include everything it needs to be properly appreciated
The point is that just like the play, the movie does contain all of the essential elements to make it a coherent and believable plot.
