Like, it just struck me as kind of absurd. like everything japanese... I read the short story, and its a big big meh, i don't get japanese litterature (and before you jump at me, yes I took japanese litterature in college). To be fair, at that time, this kind of plot was unique. You could say that Pulp Fiction uses the same plot techniques. Azz3D If you liked Pan's Labyrinth, check out Guillermo del Toro's other masterpiece, "The Devil's Backbone" it's just as amazing, if not better!

Oldboy http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364569/ Taegukgi http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386064/ very good titles. didn't think JSA was that good though. SuspicionVandit If you have some time to spend, you can check out Audition by Takahashi Miike. It's a romantic that will blow your mind. bas quote: Originally posted by TranceGiant Enjoyed this one recently: Thanks for reminding me! A friend was telling me about this over the weekend, time to Netflix :D Always wanted to check these out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_of_the_Wolves_Iraq http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Samourai Lemonad If your into the whole arthouse then definetly check out these films from Iran. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0191043/ Turtles Can Fly http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424227/ Definetly for kids this one Children of Heaven http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118849/ Song Of Sparrows http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0997246/ Color of Paradise and Turtles Can Fly have been one of the most powerful films i have ever seen.. if you ever get the chance to watch it, you'll instantly know why i say this. For one, the kid in Color Of Paradise is really blind..but pulls off a performance hardly matched by professional actors and the actors of Turtles Can Fly, well their condition is real.

The different stories told by the witness are not supposed to make sense together, by the way, they are supposed to be contradictory. If you prefer, read Ryonosuke Akutagawa's "In a Grove", it's the short story that inspired Kurosawa. Anyway, except for "The Idiot", I can't say I like any of Kurosawa's films... I too think Rashomon sucked, but for different reasons. quote: Originally posted by djhaziel From Japan's all time greatest director Akira kurosawa No, he isn't. He's just the Japanese director that tried the hardest to portray Japan according to stereotypes/"be Japanese". That being said, I think most of his films are sad sad jokes... have you seen Rashomon, for example? The acting nearly killed me! quote: Originally posted by ziptnf Who said I didn't enjoy action?
