My husband is Mexican born and observes that Mifune had a deep understanding of what an indigenous person would be like, how they would move and act. He had already played these types of roles in Japan that it was, indeed, a natural and easy transition to 'Spanish'..
Thank you for your comment. It is true that he was naturally inclined to play this type of role. He worked very hard on this one and loved so much Mexico (and the warm welcome he received there) that he came back to Japan with a mexican plate for his most beloved car, the famous MG. But he was not prisoner of this kind of roles and could play anything. He was extremely versatile and bold.
My husband was BORN in Mexico and often when he used to bike down to Chinatown in NYC, he was taken for an Asian. That connection is closer than we think...
Thank you for your comment. Mifune Toshiro was unique as an actor but also a beautiful soul. Humble, hard-working, very polite, kind and generous. And funny too. He loved Mexico and its culture and was very welcome in the country during the filming of "Animas Trujano". I'm happy that this movie was finally restored, even if the cinemascope version was just released in DVD in Japan, which is sad because it's a great movie that should be promoted everywhere. I'm a collector of his movies, having now more than 100 of them and I'm never tired of watching him. He had so many great roles! People often think of Mifune Toshiro as a samurai, but he played many different roles, sometimes very surprising. With my videos, I try to honor his memory and to show people how diverse his art was. If you want to watch him in my best videos, I recommend the videos about his work with Inagaki Hiroshi, Taniguchi Senkichi, and Okamoto Kihachi. And the video about "Trhone of blood", one of his favorite roles and one of the most difficult.
@@plaga96 Thank you very much for your comment. This movie is a marvel of cinema and when I had the chance to see the restored version, I knew that i needed to make this video. It was so important to Toshiro Mifune's eyes to be part of a mexican movie. He loved Mexico and was very well welcomed there. It was his first non-japanese movie, a way to show the world that he could indeed play any role and have an international career. It always saddens me to see how american and european cinema never truly understood his incredible potential. He was welcomed in Europe but did not play in any movie although he could have done that without problem. With the USA, it was a complicated relationship. He never was the main character, except in the remarkable "Hell in the Pacific" by John Boorman in 1968. But the Americans only saw the japanese man in him. For example, when you watch "the last gunfight" by Kihachi Okamoto in 1960, 1 year before "Animas Trujano", you can tell that Mifune would have been a fantastic James Bond. He created the role in a way with "the last gunfight", his character being seductive, mysterious, sarcastic and deadly. But nobody ever gave him the opportunity. I invite you to watch my other videos, my best editing works, such as the 3 videos about his collaboration with Okamoto, Inagaki and Taniguchi. And the trailers for "Hell in the Pacific" and "Throne of blood". They try to pay homage to his incredible talent. He was so versatile and engaged in his roles, so focused, opening new ways in acting as early as 1947 (Christian Bale, who admires Mifune, would never have done "The machinist" if he had not seen Mifune starving himself to show the illness of his character in "Drunken Angel" in 1948). To my opinion, he is the best actor who ever lived. And also, was the most gentle and humble soul.
Se dice que el papel lo haría Pedro Infante, pero el director ya lo había descartado desde antes que este muriera , pues tiene otros rasgos , la gente del sur de México es muy diferente ala del norte, Toshiro , encarnaria perfectamente el estereotipo de un nativo de Oaxaca,( zapotecos) pues la gente en general tiene algunos rasgos asiáticos muy marcados , un personaje que le vino ala medida al Sr. Toshiro, 👍yo vivo en Oaxaca y lo se, hasta mi vecino que vive frente a mi casa se parece físicamente a el😅, por lo que fue una buena actuación sin dudar.
I just watched the movie, and oh my God the CinemaScope version looks SO SUPERIOR. Truly Gabriel Figueroa was one of our best cinematographers ever! And superb acting from Mifune, so sad he was finally dubbed!
Yes, he worked so hard on his lines! And you can see it since the dubbing is perfectly in accord with the movement of his lips to a point I've honestly never seen before. He really knew his lines by heart and also how to deliver them. The movie was restored for the new japanese edition and I hope that they will make an international version. You don't see it in my video because of the editing, but in fact, japanese subtitles are embeded in the film. I had a hard time with that! If you want to watch some of my best editing works, I recomment the videos about Toshiro Mifune's collaboration with Hiroshi Inagaki, Senkichi Taniguchi and Kihachi Okamoto. Also the trailers for "Hell in the Pacific" and "Throne of blood". He's always different in all those movies. Really, a fascinating man.
Yes, I agree with you. I've watched him in almost 100 movies, now. And he always did his best. He was so dedicated to his art! His personal scripts, like the script for "Rashomon", are amazing, showing how well he understood his character, and how he always played with that will to give the most accurate, impressive and meaningful performance. To me, he's the best actor of all time. So bold. So versatile. So "off the grid".
Humble Mr.Mifune did remember his Spanish (south America )lines perfectly . But sad for dubbing.Thanks from Japan for this beautiful uploading .May you have a great 2021.
Thank you for your comment and a Happy New year to you too! Yes, it's sad that he was dubbed, he worked so hard! But his performance is still incredible, really amazing.
@@Artdesignandcinema Happy New Year! Love this film. I'm a native of Oaxaca and this really brings pride to me every time I have a chance to see it again. If I'm not mistaken, the director, Ismael Rodriguez had another actor by the name of Narciso Busquets do the voice over.
@@aburridoymas Yes, indeed. It is sad since Toshiro Mifune worked really hard (can you imagine being for weeks surrounded by people, actors, technicians, that you cannot understand? And acting so well with phrasing in a language you do not masters at all?). The actor who dubbed him was very good although. And you can see how dedicated to his role Toshiro Mifune was since the movements of his mouth are perfectly in tune with the dubbing. It is truly amazing and very impressive. I've never seen that with any other actor.
Yes, he was phenomenal! So bold and talented! He worked hard on "Animas Trujano" and learned his lines perfectly. It's a pity that he was finally dubbed because of his japanese accent, since he played a lot with his voice. Since I had access to the newly japanese released DVD of the movie, so beautifully restored, I wanted to share. The copy available on youtube is not very good and in 4:3, not in the original cinemascope format. If you want to see other great scenes with him, I invite you to watch my videos about his work with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto, also the last one, about "Throne of blood", one of his favorite roles. The next video will be about "The hidden fortress", another masterpiece by Kurosawa.
Thank you for your comment. I tried to honor his exceptional work in this movie. Toshiro Mifune was called "the most japanese of all men" but he was also multi-cultural. He loved people, other civilizations, other ways to live. A very complex man, kind, generous and humble, working hard, who had his share of suffering, especially in his youth. You're welcome on the channel to watch other videos I made for the 100th anniversary of his birth, especially the videos about his work with directors Kurosawa, Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto. And the video about his trademark: acting without speaking, called "When words are not necessary".
Thank you! Now I know I'll review tonight! An excellent work (although it is better to say - art) by Mifune, who played a person of a completely different civilization, a different culture so that you cannot imagine anyone else in this role.
De echo la gente horiunda ( nativa,l) de Oaxaca tiene esos rasgos ( asiáticos ) yo soy oaxaqueño y lo se, más la gente de los pequeños pueblos, muy buena actuación de toshiro mifune, por cierto una agencia municipal de Oaxaca ,pegado ala ciudad se llama así : Animas Trujano.
I totally agree with you. It is one of Toshiro Mifune's best roles. he worked really hard on this one (well, he always worked hard) and he loved so much mexican culture and people. The movie is fantastic. But it is sad that he was finally dubbed, since he knew his lines by heart and played a lot with his voice.
@@Artdesignandcinema Encontré un artículo en el que Narciso Busquets su doblador declaró que la voz de Toshiro era igual a la suya, cuando lo escucho para estudiarlo dijo."No sé qué es lo que dijo, pero esa es mi voz."
I agree! The restoration of this movie is amazing and it is such a great movie! It is just sad that Toshiro Mifune, who worked so hard on his lines, was finally dubbed. With his true voice, the character would have been even more impressive. I invite you to watch other videos I made for the 100th anniversary of his birth, especially the videos about his work with directors Inagaki, Taniguchi and Okamoto, each one with rare footage, movies sometimes never released outside Japan or not for a long time.
@@SolViviendo You mean, with Toshiro Mifune's voice? No, unfortunately, I don't think they kept the recording of his voice. He really worked hard, and his work was perfect, so perfect that, the voice of the mexican actor who dubbed him finally is completely in tune with the movement of his lips. I personally regret that he was dubbed, even if the mexican actor did a very good job, because Toshiro Mifune's voice was such a big part of his acting. At least, we have the restored movie, compared with the "traditional" version, it is night and day.
I don't know why the movie, that was shot in cinemascope, was cut in 4:3, almost square image, for the international version. During almost 60 years, it was the only version available. And not in a very good quality. But the movie was restored for the 100th anniversary of Toshiro Mifune's birth, last year and I was so surprised to see how this restoration in the original cinemascope format changed everything! It is a wonderful movie, with a beautiful cinematography. And Toshiro Mifune's performance is really spectacular. That's why I wanted to make that video, to share something incredible that was long forget in its original version.
Toshiro Mifune had a platonic love for her, apparently. He wrote letters to her after filming "Animas Trujano". She's very beautiful and soft, very subtle in that movie.
the only actor i would sit down with and have a smoke and a coffee with and talk about life stuff. I gotta disagree though, he doesn't make it look easy, on the contrary he still shows how difficult it is to be a great actor and how much his talent is missed, especially nowadays.
Hmm, 3 years later, there was a Western remake of Rashomon (14 years after the original!). Mifune's character turned into... a Mexican bandit. Coincidence?😅
Vous avez bien raison! Toshiro Mifune était unique en son genre et personne ne peut le remplacer. Je vous invite à regarder les autres vidéos que j'ai faites pour honorer sa mémoire et son immense travail. Notamment les dernières, qui portent sur ses collaborations avec les réalisateurs Kurosawa, Taniguchi, Inagaki et Okamoto. Les 3 dernières de cette liste sont sans doute mes meilleurs montages.
Oh, how I wish I could see this film! Wonderful montage with good music as usual. Thank you. I nearly went to bed before TH-cam threw this video up and I had to watch it. I love everything you do. I wish everybody would learn to appreciate the unique talents and abilities of Mifune Toshiro who truly was a class by himself and one of a kind. There are only few like him born in a century.
I see there is autogenerated translation but they are usually really bad..dunno, I can try. I did that once and it was so garbled that it was no point trying to figure out that very bad English autotranslation.
Toshiro Mifune didn't speak Spanish or English. He learned his lines phonetically but was so dedicated to his work and so professional that his interpretation is perfect. Sadly, he was dubbed by a mexican actor, because, although he knew his lines perfectly well and understood the phrasing, he still had an accent. I always regret that they didn't keep a version with his true voice since he played a lot with his voice.
Ismael Rodriguez, the director, offered him a role at the end of the 50's but at the time, Toshiro Mifune declined the offer. He worked a lot, on movies requiring a lot of work at the time. But he was a man open to other cultures, loving to understand other people, which is quite surprising for a Japanese. Don't forget that he was born in Manchuria, and lived his youth in Dalian, a city created by Russians in North of China, where you could meet a lot of strangers. So, we can understand his love for other cultures. And he loved Mexico, where he was very well received.
Oh yes! He loved mexican culture and people. So much that he bought a mexican plate for his beloved MG (and that car was REALLY his favorite car) and he kept writing to his co-star Columba Dominguez, who played his wife in the movie.

Maybe as a Filipino
Mexicans who have more indigenous ancestry tend to look more asiatic. Native Americans are distant cousins of East Asians!
