    This movie doesnt even seem possible. Every shot literally perfect and executed entirely with practical effects. Modern films dont ever reach this level of compositional brilliance with their set pieces despite being incalcuably easier to make (essentially infinite reshooting potential and far safer)

    No CGI special effects in this masterpiece of a film. There really are hundreds of armored soldiers and a real wooden castle burnt for the sake of this iconic shot.

    I can imagine having an actual castle burning down in the background really motivates you to get the shot right the first time. There's only so much castle for you to shoot in front of.

    For me, the best scene was the beheading of the Lady Kaede, who goaded two out of the 3 sons to plot against their father. Only one remained loyal but his blunt honesty caused him to be banished and disgraced. Kaede manipulated the two sons to exact revenge on the old man who massacred her family. Come to think of it, the old man's 3 daughters-in-law all belonged to three noble families that he destroyed and annihilated.

    色彩麗美な「乱」が、白黒映画の代表格「七人の侍」「隠し砦の三悪人」「蜘蛛の巣城」「用心棒」と比べると興味深いストーリーの運び、斬新な画面、際立つキャラクターなど白黒映画に軍配を上げてしまう。ただ、乱が劣るのかと言えば、それも違うような気がする。テーマのにらみ方が、晩年の黒澤明監督は白黒映画の隆盛期と違って、エンターテイメントとして昇華する技術を持ちながら、自身の抽象的観念の映像に取り組み過ぎて、ストーリーが追いついていないように思う。ただ、精巧で華麗な美術と重厚な映像は、美術品並みの力を感じる。これだけの美術設計とそれに見合う映像美は、CGを使わずに映画にできる監督は現在数は少ないと思う。
