You keep believing that. That's why you can't learn it. Anyting either exists or not. The thing is to learn to create what you desire. Yeah, you probalby won't be exactly Mifune atom to atom, but the charisma. That is no coincidence, as nothing is coincidence.
I have no idea what he is saying either but what a voice, I could listen to him forever that deep rich voice sends shivers down my back. And so beautiful I can,t take my eyes off him they just don,t make men like him any more. love him forever, Anita xxx
When I saw Seven Samurai last week, I thought “wow this character is my favorite one but he’s such a piece of work”……. I had no idea he was such a legend. He was amazing in Drunken Angel as well. He steals your attention when he’s on screen. Absolute master of the craft.
Somehow I missed the English subtitles. But in any language this is an actor worth watching. I just had the pleasure of seeing DRUNKEN ANGEL yesterday, from 1948 - his first collaboration with Kurosawa. Already that trademark scowl was in place, and you could feel the intensity just radiating off him.
My introduction to Japanese film and Toshiro Mifune in particular was in the late 1990s some cable channel here in NYC I was maybe 12 or 13. I was channel surfing, hit a channel and I swear the battle between Musashi and Sasaki at the end of Samurai III had just begun. I was spellbound. It ended and I was just totally overawed and stunned and legitimately WTF AWESOME THING DID I JUST WITNESS
I just saw ANIMAS TRUJANO. The great Mexican director Ismael Rodriguez chose Toshiro Mifune for the lead role. It was filmed in Oaxaca Mexico. His character was so DESPICABLE in that Film. It’s recognized as one of the best films of the golden age of Mexican cinema.
His real life persona is so calm and cool and relaxed ... so different from his movie performances which are mostly very intense and noh-theatrical-like... thats the mark of a great actor when he can be a totally different person in front and behind the lens ...
Sorry, Brando can never come close. Also, because Brando never knew his lines, whereas Mifune's preparation included knowing his lines too. Plus, nobody could show emotions as he did, nobody. I have only seen once some Russian actors come to the level, but no other, and I have seen thousands of films up till now.
Up there with Spencer Tracey, Clark Gable, and Charles Loughton, he had a presence that was mesmerising on the screen.....I was impressed with him seeing his movies on tv then I saw Jojimbo on the big screen and it blew me away

In opposite japanese samurais in the old days were famous with their beard especially japanese who original from the north east of Japan . There were Jomon people who indeed a Caucasoid race used to inhabited northern Japan. They were fierce warriors and some say they were the original samurais.
*The Problem is, 99% of Actors pretend they're cool and only 1% really are and that 1% isn't trying to be cool, because they just are !!* *And Toshirō Mifune is 1% from the 1%, so like a four-leaf Clover ;)*
@@ergun9980 Well, my experience with the autogenerated English is really bad; it is a garbled hardly understandable mess. I get tired of trying to figure out what they tried to say. Machines are machines, sorry, they do a crap job of translating.
The narrator and interviewer are boring and ordinary as usual Japanese, but Mifune is standing up, giving his critical comments about Japan's authority's poor support and corporation's third class produces compare to France and U.K.
I am not good at English but I can speak Japanese. Narrators are simply talking about their thoughts while watching this video. What he is talking about is... 4:02 "Heating does not work due to lack of oil." 5:23 Interviewer: "What do you think about movies and TV today?" Mifune "About movies and TV ..." Translator: "Movies are losing momentum in Britain today, but what about Japanese movies? The question has become a bit general." Mifune: "Well, with the development of not only TV but also other major industries, the Japanese film industry was temporarily weak, but it seems that it has been revived recently." It's like this
The translation of this program is clumsy, nonsensical and makes absolutely no sense whatever in English. what the Hell is a Petri dish? As a former teacher, I can see why our languages are so very different, grammatically. Unfortunately, I cannot make head or tail of this, so I sadly say goodbye to one of my favorite actors. Would have loved to view this one....
