60 of 286 · most liked firstYeah but what if the Melania movie was called Seven Samurai instead? And then when you went to see it they just showed you Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 masterpiece Seven Samurai? I bet you liberals would *love* it then. Typical.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of my all time favorite Lucas moments was when he and Coppola strong armed Fox to produce movies for Akira Kurosowa and essentially revived his career. Every Kurosowa film we have after 1980 is due to Lucas and Coppolas standing up for their fellow artist.

neutral · AI labelView post →Some production cels from the film "A Tree Of Palme" I scored in an auction. A very strange, beautiful reinterpretation of Pinocchio's tale from Takashi Nakamura, the animation director of Akira and the director of Catnapped [ an equally strange and beautiful film ]
neutral · AI labelView post →I rewatched AKIRA (1988) and it actually hits better when you live through a collapsing society where you can just barely keep up with what’s going on. anyway perfect movie, one of the greatest ever made

neutral · AI labelView post →A thoroughly terrific 1988 movie poster for “Akira”by Katsuhiro Otomo featuring Neo-Tokyo and, looking closer, a rather familiar red motorbike.
neutral · AI labelView post →So the American live-action rights to Akira, perhaps the only evidence of an actual zombie--a film that has been in development hell for 2 decades--have finally lapsed. Cue the 'the evil is defeated' memes, y'all.
neutral · AI labelView post →wow. what an incredible full circle moment for anime. all these years later, to see an American film reference the iconic "Akira slide"... it's just magic to see

neutral · AI labelView post →I love that the nearly 40 year old Akira movie poster is still so iconic, it continues to inspire homages.
positive · AI labelView post →Also, once again we have proof that #Spiderverse began a brand new era for feature film animation. Every single animated film with gusto borrows from it in the same way Akira inspired anime. The industry has changed FOREVER because of that masterpiece of cinema, and we’re all better off for it.

positive · AI labelView post →Not to tease the video too much, but this movie also involves a drive-by analysis of an Akira Kurosawa movie. Probably not the one you're thinking of!
neutral · AI labelView post →you'd think "Sonic the Hedgehog" is an Akira Kurosawa film the way fans talk about it
neutral · AI labelView post →I liked Taika Waititi when he made movies in a specific way but then he directed Thor Ragnarok and slowly became the most annoying guy while studios decided he should make Star Wars and live-action Akira. I'm worried the same thing will happen to Matt Johnson after his Magic: The Gathering movie.
