If money is a thing you have, then I recommend that you purchase the 'Double Disc Special Edition' of this film. I remember looking through it and it was heavy, with some excellent additional material.
@mikishikikamimo imo you should buy this on dvd or blu-ray like me , but I think if you just look on a site where you candownload torrents you'll find it. :)
@pljtgh i don't think this movie is epic, i think is TRAGIC, kagemusha in the other hand it is epic, ran represents the worst of human nature, the best could be dersu uzala, ran is the killing of brothers and assasination of a father, also the superb score of takemitsu tell us about the drama and the sadness of this history, in the end is just a revenge from lady kaebe, the movie?, una autentica obra maestra, (in perfect spanish....)
@murray1234567891011 Yeah, I can't seem to find the intro on Youtube, but I definitely remember seeing clips of this movie in the 'cgi' intro for Total War. I wish I could find it though to confirm....
La musique originale de ce film est de Oru Takemitsu, grand compositeur contemporain japonais. Elle est bien meilleure que celle de Dead Can Dance qu'on entend ici !
Fantastic movie. Picked it up on bluray, it was the first movie I watched in HD on my new plasma tv! (I'm a little behind in technology.) And it looked fantastic.
A very meditative film, beautiful compositions and colour. You can definitely feel the years of experience Kurosawa poured into this one. Left me pretty rattled. Can't wait for a second viewing.
Wow- so many of Kurosawa's films have scenes that give me goosebumps but Ran has got to be the one with the most of those moments.... awe inspiring director. great job with the trailer :)
Just saw RAN again this week at the local theater, for the first time in a long time. I agree about this trailer. Great job cutting picture to music, and the music here is excellent Sounds a little like the Cocteau Twins, sans pop beat.

one of the most amazing things about this movie to me is that despite being one of the best films of all time (in my opinion), it does not even rank in my top 10 kurosawa films.
This movie was great but realy is too tragic for my taste I hate when this happen in tragidies I always fell bad for the characters either in books or movies and again in this movie I hate how the Great Lord and Lor Suruga died in end is so stupid and so impossible how would those ashigaru with guns get passed all armies that were attacking and by a strike of luck hit Lord Suruga? Alas I guess is part of great struture of all movie of chaos and death
so far, my favorite Kurosawa film, and thats saying a lot considering how much i adore seven samurai and throne of blood, and this trailer perfectly sums up the feel of the film, great job guys, great job
Lord Hidetora Ichimonji (Nakadai Tatsuya) and I are gonna be kickin' back some brews when he comes to Seoul next month. Connections are a wonderful thing.
La fame di potere e la perdita della ragione conducono inevitabilmente alla sconfitta dell'umanita' e al degradamento della stessa verso il pozzo nero della morte.
Agreed, the original Takemitsu score is an integral part of the film. But they've done a great job here matching evocative music to some of the film's most stunning scenes. What a masterpiece.
To phxsns1... don't quote me on this, but I believe that the music featured on this trailer is played by Dead Can Dance... the name of the album escapes me... does anyone know???
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i just saw this movie and i didnt like it =( i was expecting something better i didnt see not even one sword to sword fight, and all the samurai were using rifles :/ that sucks.. to me it was too long and boring
Not one sword fight? That's what you got out of this film? Not the insane chaos, the backstabbing, the emotional depths of the characters, the tragedy of the loss of control, the multiple suicides, and themes ranging from humanistic relations to God to nihilism to warfare and how they affect change from giant countries down to individuals? You're complaining about LACK OF SWORDPLAY??!? This film is so ridiculously brimming with interesting content that it wasn't long - it FLEW by.
lol this is the exact kind of comment that i was expecting, yeah those thing were ok but another thing is that they didnt do much first shots i coudlnt recognice the faces sometimes xD i guess that just not my kind of movie, thats just me I mean, i respect that everybody else likes it =) bye
Now that you mention it, perhaps someone could answer this question for me. Does this film really have much in the way of "epic" battles? I'm all in favor of deep characters and whatnot, but I'm still curious.
@Manas10101 it does, though that's not the reason of being for the movie. There are only two battle sequences in the movie, but both are memorable, and both exist not forced for the sake of action but as an integral part of the plot.
@Manas10101 If you want battles, then you should check out the 1990 japanese film 'Heaven and Earth' (not to be confused with Oliver Stones film of the same name)
Heaven and Earth is like watching the film version of Shogun Total War 2 :)
I don't know who this was a response to, but that person should go see "The Sword of Doom" and enjoy seeing Toshiro Mifune hop out of that palanquin.
@BlownMacTruck Well, the drama was exceptional, but one thing this and many other of Akira Kurosawa's movies lack is sword fighting, an element of samurai culture that outweighs the majority of others. Many Japanese moves have lots of charging but little actual legitimate combat; one would expect to see amazing battles filled with cunning, brilliant, and swift sword moves, but the film lacks such, an in my opinion pivotal, aspect.
An AWESOME movie ... nicely paired with Dead Can Dance.
Final scene of the castle burning down was done in one take (no errors or second takes) due to the scale of the inferno on the set. So you the viewer see it as it unfolded (no edits).
