A tribute to one of Akira Kurosawa’s masterpieces, a challenging movie supported by an impeccable cast, led by a spectacular Toshiro Mifune and the always perfect Isuzu Yamada.
Here is his words :"At the final ceremony, the prize was awarded to the film "Red Beard" … The audience gasped and froze. In a gray – black robe, with a fan tucked into his belt, a man of striking masculine beauty stepped onto the stage of the Palace of Congresses: his very posture, step, every movement were full of strength and dignity"
I remember watching this movie as a kid and I was terrified by the scene where the lady washed her hand over and over because she could see the blood she had spilled and screaming "It won't wash off" over and over.
Some critics say "Throne of Blood" was the best film adaptation of Macbeth, which I basically agree to. Personally I score Polanski's Macbeth nearly as high as this one, though Mifune's character and physical fitness was more advantageous to play an intrepid warrior like Washizu, than Jon Finch's Macbeth.

Scary, gorgeous, mesmerizing, misty, full of misteries, full of rage and fury, mistic, ghostly like lady Macbeth who looks like a demon
看完这个视频，我更确定这是黑泽明最有艺术性、最纯粹的电影。每一帧都是精致的完美的
Thank you, my friend. l am glad you came out with a new video. It is the only film l am too scared to watch.
Scary, grandiose and powerful video, I understand fully why our Kozintsev (King Lear and Hamlet director) was so mad about Mifune and Kurosawa.

Incredible movie one has to watch at once. The video is rendered even more powerful by the music. Thanks a lot for this upload

Las actuaciones de Toshiro Mifune y Isuzu Yamada son fabulosas.
音楽で名作が駄作になるというサンプルですか⁇この映画が能を基本に創られていることを理解しなければなりません。黒澤明がこのような単純な協奏曲をつけるような凡人ではないということがこのYouTubeで教えられたという面では👍
