"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.

@小西天Floating cloud world affairs, light and dark world, erratic light and shadow are like changing fate, heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs. The call of the king's corpse is like the sound effect of a stage play, and it is an ethereal blow. Madame Mo, who is devoted to Buddha, and Madam Feng, who is bent on revenge, both bowed their heads to the fate of a piece of paper. Crazy Ami, who is a fool for her career, and the big lord, who is a fool for her life, are at the end of the road, and the Buddha statue that shines in the dark finally falls. precipice.

The first time I saw Akira Kurosawa's film, adapted from Shakespeare's play "King Lear". The offspring rebelled and the family fell. Do a lot of evil, and end up with calamity. The war scenes are grand and magnificent, and the character performances have stage traces. The picture is colorful and well-composed. The movie is not just a rebellion, it's an inner frenzy. The all-powerful protagonist has become a madman. Dalang and Jiro, who are respectful on the surface, compete for power and profit, and the most filial one is the disobedient son Saburo.
