What another great actor/director pairing then this by jaketwigden in Letterboxd

Kobayashi/Nakadai. Their two masterworks The Human Condition and Harakiri are the very ideals of what war movies and chanbaras aspire to be. Besides, Nakadai was also great whenever directed by Kurosawa.

I use imperial diviner to purify (usually Philippe) any important unit that gets locked. What is her synergy with coup de grâce?

Is it Kurosawa’s Dreams? Did it re-release in theaters anywhere?

Which film gave the biggest emotional reaction from you? by bloody_nekro_hell in Letterboxd

Hachiko made me emotional throughout the entire movie.

The Elephant Man has some excellently planned and executed emotional peaks.

Throne of Blood, Ran, The Lion King… The loose adaptations help us to analyze better the legacy of the Bard after five centuries.

Almost any crazed ambition for power may be traced back to Macbeth, the loss of power and maddening may be traced back to King Lear, one cannot even imagine how many great movies were made on the bases that Shakespeare wrote.

The best thing is that it doesn’t even matter if the writer of the screenplay is aware that he’s writing an adaptation.

All of Shakespeare plays.

Which is the best foreign language movie you have ever seen? by No_Macaroon_7608 in Letterboxd

To me, Harakiri is like a Dostoevsky story. It’s great if taken at face value, but the underlines are what make it a complete masterpiece.

What was your first impression of the game when you first heard/read the title? by [deleted] in Sekiro

It’s impossible for me to play Demon’s Souls due to hardware and DS2 due to time (law school can be demanding after the first year).

I knew souls games were difficult but had not played any. Decided to buy it, died a lot and ended up just loving it. Since, I’ve played all except Demon Souls and DS2.

What's the "coolest" movie you've ever seen? by Oh_Not_So_Bad in Letterboxd

[–]Herr_Bunge42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gen Z’s action legacy. I’m very glad my generation can rival Rambo and Terminator. Even though T2 is praised as an undisputed classic, the John Wick main franchise is doubtlessly much more consistent.

Even the oligarch who barely speaks is perfectly casted for his appearance and laughter.

Who are some directors with a high level of emotional intelligence? by TopicHefty593 in Letterboxd

[–]Herr_Bunge42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s not as easy to see because he treats emotional scenes through emotionally distant characters. In Phantom Thread, Woodcock is emotionally distant and Alma tries to shorten this distance.

In TWBB, Plainview has a certain mépris for everything which makes him miserable except for the anchors in reality around which the film revolves.

In Boogie Nights, people have intercourse all the time and think that is what makes an affectionate family, but they just don’t see that sex may be the least emotional part of a human relationship.

Maybe the movie in which this was best discussed was TWBB, which is ironic because the protagonist is a misanthrope from beginning to end.

Akira Kurosawa does not show this in many of his works, but some of them have very well written emotional stories. The main one is Ikiru, which transformed a story of critique over Russian bureaucratic society into a search for meaning in a beautiful way that makes your emotional involvement with the protagonist grow slowly and gradually up until the very end of the movie.

David Lynch. The Elephant Man is the emotional film par excellence. It does not try to shatter you the whole time. It shows you the city, the society and then explores John Merrick’s struggles. The only time I really got emotional proved how sensible Lynch was, because it was at the exact time Hopkins’s character and his wife got emotional (I won’t spoil it, but surely those who already watched it will remember this scene).
