Asian movies

[Vivasaayi]

Kurosawa's shakespeare interpretations - "ran" (king lear - his best movie in color, and his last movie as a director), "throne of blood" (macbeth - the best version of macbeth yet)

He made Dreams and Madadayo, which was his last, after Ran...

Madodoyo was the first film I saw which was directed by Kurosawa.
For those who have not seen it: Madadoyo means "not yet".

There is an annual party, for moving a year closer to the end, held by the students of a retired professor where the master loudly declares - Madodoyo- I am not done yet !

Did he intend that to be his last film ? If so - then it is as poetic as Prospero's burying his magic wand in Tempest - Shakespeare's last play.

for shakespere it couldnt be intended as he was just in 30s.

but kurasawa could have thought that it could be his last movie!

in shakesperes case its really

kurasawa -
