I know I am suppose to like Kurosawa, I want to like Kurosawa, but I watch it and I become bored. I am not saying it is boring I am saying I watch it and it makes me bored. How do I make myself like something that is kino?

it's ok to not like Kurosawa. you don't have to like every "great" director

for instance, i don't like Truffaut, De Sica, or Wilder

I agree my man, the only movie of his I really like is Kagemusha because of the dream sequence. New japanese movies are much better, I'd rather watch Miike or Kitano or some anime anyday over Kurosawa and the old guard

pleb detected

>forcing yourself to watch something you don't enjoy

but I only enjoy bad movies, like Seth Rogen stuff

there is nothing wrong with enjoying bad movies

there is something wrong with trying really hard to enjoy old movies just because it would make you appear patrician

just watch more movies and try to find out what YOU like, maybe some day you can come back to kurosawa and enjoy it. your taste in movies can change after a while anyway.

so nobody will help me, tell me how i am suppose to enjoy this, what am i suppose to notice when i am looking at it that keeps me interested

>supposed to like
Are you seriously trying to reshape your tastes around the opinion of a cartoon masturbation websites meme lists?

no not all Sup Forums just Sup Forums

take an intro to film course (it'll count as a humanities elective)

or go find an edition of David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson's Film Art text book for cheap and read it

or find a copy of the Criterion commentary track for Seven Samurai (not the Michael Jeck one, but the roundtable) and listen to it; it covers Kurosawa's technique and career and the effectiveness of certain stylistic decisions and signature trademarks

or don't do any of it, who gives a shit if you don't like Kurosawa?

smoke weed

i have taken a few film courses

Art isnt for you my man!

Just do something else man

then you should be able to articulate what exa about Kurosawa you don't like

I don't know if it will "make" you like it, but this may give you an appreciation. I've never seen Every Frame a Painting posted on Sup Forums, I'm sure it's probably hated here for being entry-level, but if you're not a film student and just enjoy watching movies and looking out for some deeper stuff, it's a fun channel.

but all I can say is it's boring because most of it isnt in color and they take too long to talk and its not even in english, would be teh honest answer

>it's boring because most of it isnt in color and they take too long to talk and its not even in english

yeah man, just give it up

To enjoy a japanese film you must endulge in the culture and wank over an 'alleged' underaged 2d cartoon girl

if you become bored watching something like Ran then you're a fucking pleb and you should kill yourself my man.

well I usually like something I can follow while I open other tabs and check other websites

God, the Power Rangers marathon was one of the best times I've ever had on Sup Forums. Shitposting with you motherfuckers for season after season was great.

Stick to capeshit lad

You are now aware the Throne of Blood is the inspiration for Revenge of the Sith

Watch Juzo Itami instead

You are now aware Throne of Blood is based on McDonalds

>I like movies I dont have to watch
Why bother at all if you're gonna tune out and do other things?

It's just a meme. Old chink movies are boring and unwatchable lmao

You mean MacBeth

learn to see ordinary things differently

When I was little I was invited to a special friends and family screening of a remastered version of Arsenyev in the city of Arsenyev. After the first two hours during the intermission Kurosawas son asked me if I liked the movie and I said it’s very long (I was like 5) and he said something ‘you very funny you make me raugh’
Never had the balls to watch the entire thing since then

There's nothing wrong with having a genuine reaction to something, but it does mean you probably have a low attention span

I, for example, can't stand people who say Bladerunner is bad because its "too slow", the point of the movie as art is to immerse you fully into the doings and the atmosphere of this entirely alien world, you won't be able to do that as effectively if its just a backdrop to pew pew explosions and sex

I meant Dersu Uzala, which is about Arsenyev
And the son was Hisao I guess

ah yes, the Burger King of Scotland

Is this what level 8 trolling looks like? its pretty good.

...

Never forget

Kurosawa is glorified swordshit, literally the Villeneuve of his time

Watch Mizoguchi and Ozu instead

so Ki Adi Mundi was the mc?

Those that cannot do, review. Film critics get far too much attention. Fuck’em and develop your own taste
