Pardon me while I squee quietly over the photos from "Kagemusha" and "Ran" in particular. The costumes..... OMG, THE COSTUMES!!!!!!!!!

I want to shave my eyebrows now, it's a truly striking look.

Thank you for posting this, movies are a 'secondary source' for me... XD

This past weekend I had some friends over for a Kurosawa marathon.

We made the two open bottles of shochu from Twelfth Night go away, plus most of a 350ml Kurusawa Kimoto sake and a bit of umeshu. Somewhere along the line, we came up with a new game. Essentially you take a drink every time

1. Mifune walks around with balled fists.
2. Mifune laughs, defiantly or otherwise.
3. Mifune scratches self. Or rubs beard.
4. Mifune says "Hime." (Hidden Fortress variant.)
5, Mifune (or someone else) cries "Kuso!" ("Shit," though the subtitlers frequently render this as "Damn.")
6. Comic peasant is comical.

(We watched my weirdly subtitled Hong Kong import copy of Throne of Blood, Rashomon and Hidden Fortress.)

O.o...
This game seems like a recipe for death served with booze on the side... and as the main course.
