Ran behind the scenes gags

"Ran" is one of the most cost-effective and large-scale films in Japanese film history. It cost 2.4 billion yen and took more than 200 working days to complete the filming.
In order to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the film’s release, in 2010, 35mm motion picture film will be used in art theaters throughout the United States to tour.
In the scene that burned the city at the end of the film, the director deliberately transported extremely flammable wood from the United States to cover a city gate.
In order to have a clear blue sky and a just right cloud, I waited for more than 180 days to burn down the million-dollar city gate.
In Kurosawa Akira's previous work "Kagemusha", Nakadai Tatsuya, who was injured after falling from a horse, has been practicing riding horses for half a year in order to shoot "Ran", but the scene was actually shot only 3 seconds.

A great masterpiece, 4K restoration and rescreening feels like a pilgrimage to the 30th anniversary of the typhoon in the house full of people. Sujing boss M. Barker said with infinite admiration and nostalgia, "Every frame of film comes from the hands of this 70+ old man". Kurosawa Akira's adaptation of Shakespeare makes people even more aware of the universality of a classic that crosses ethnic and language barriers. The last shot is really shocking...

The characters are slightly symbolized, a large number of perspectives lack a sense of substitution, and are guided by a strong personal perspective (although these are deliberately done by the director), and it is a perfect adaptation. Last night, the atmosphere of the museum was very good. The whole audience watched with almost a pilgrimage in the dark. From time to time, there were laughter along with the plot, long applause at the end, and a strong smell of lilac flowers after the end.
