- "Ran" is one of the most cost-effective and large-scale films in Japanese film history. It cost 2.4 billion yen and took more than 200 working days to complete the filming.
- In order to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the film’s release, in 2010, 35mm motion picture film will be used in art theaters throughout the United States to tour.
- In the scene that burned the city at the end of the film, the director deliberately transported extremely flammable wood from the United States to cover a city gate.
- In order to have a clear blue sky and a just right cloud, I waited for more than 180 days to burn down the million-dollar city gate.
- In Kurosawa Akira's previous work "Kagemusha", Nakadai Tatsuya, who was injured after falling from a horse, has been practicing riding horses for half a year in order to shoot "Ran", but the scene was actually shot only 3 seconds.

In the later period, Akira Kurosawa seems to have lost its luster, but he has always had the problem of being unable to deal with grand themes and complex characters' emotions. The theme of King Lear fell into his hands and became dispensable, not to mention the inappropriateness of Shakespeare's plays on period dramas. What is good is the humanistic value he believes in. In the big production, there is not even the exquisite scene scheduling, and the rest of the color scheduling (Kurozawa Akira is so wild, Laomouzi is good at learning, and he has to learn bad gestures)

Kurosawa has always had a grand and deep thinking about human nature. The greed of power, interest, desire, femininity, and human nature is the most essential and pure manifestation in this historical war. And for the oriental movies to interpret the humanity of Eastern history so deeply and for a long time, Akira Kurosawa is undoubtedly a master. The script lines are solid and powerful, the mid-to-long-distance scenery is vast and magnificent, the scene is magnificent, the soundtrack is needless to say, the usual Kurosawa Akira is amazing! 8.7
