At 75, Kurosawa had spent decades developing Ran . It was his most expensive film (¥1.2 billion), financed partly by French producers. Unlike Throne of Blood (his earlier Macbeth adaptation), Ran uses color with symbolic intensity: yellow for cowardice, red for bloodshed, blue for loyalty shattered. The film’s battle scenes, choreographed without CGI (instead using hundreds of extras, real horses, and controlled fires), remain a benchmark for practical epic filmmaking.
