What fucking assholes were laughing in the background?

Wow, Kurosawa was freaking tall.

Thumbs up if you can identify each movie clip used in 2:12 - 5:56 and give yourself a warm pat on the back if you've seen each one of them.

P.S. why didn't they show a clip of Ikiru? The Oscars sure favored Ran for that video clipshow.

@wesgriff1 Assholes who haven't got a fucking clue which end is up. This guy could eat them for breakfast.

@NOUFGT Just because he's Japanese doesn't mean he has to be small hahah

@gimpyguitarist He's never directed anything great. "Jaws" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" are good, but within their genres. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is a minor ripoff of superior 1930s serials. "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" is a god-awful "Lassie" ripoff. "Saving Private Ryan" is a jingoistic strIng of every war film cliche imaginable topped off by a god-awful ending. His "vision" is that of a sentimental retard.

@nonserviamreviews true, and hey, it could be a lot worse. As much as I hate how the Oscars normally choose the safer, less risk-taking, less intelligent and more heart-warming tripe that usually comes out, at least they aren't the Spike TV Video Game Awards. If that were the case, Michael Bay would already have a Lifetime Achievement Award and no one would even know who Kurosawa is.

@gimpyguitarist also Francois Truffaut

@gimpyguitarist and if his admirers are any indication of his skill and accomplishments, then I'd say he's done very well for himself and for film as a whole, whether you enjoy his films or not.

[gimpyguitarist]

@HenryConway007 certainly Lucas, cause I don't think he has ever deserved any of the credit he has received in his career but not Spielberg. E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, Saving Private Ryan, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third, and so many of his other films are fantastic works that exemplify his own unique vision and the admiration he had for his predecessors. Bergman, Kubrick, Hitchcock, Scorsese, and Kurosawa are/were among his admirers.

I wish this video would be in a better quality.
