Ana Sayfaya Dön

High and Low (1963) is Kurosawa at his most precise. Kurosawa even built Gondo’s entire house on a studio set so he could choreograph every movement and line of sight with mathematical accuracy. That level of design is why the tension feels engineered.

After "High and Low" (1963) was released, kidnappings were on the rise in Japan. Akira Kurosawa himself had received threats for the kidnapping of his own daughter, Kazuko Kurosawa. She quoted him as once saying to her "With 'High and Low', I wanted to inspire tougher sentences on kidnappers. Instead, I was criticized for their increase." Akira Kurosawa on why he made "High and Low" (1963) & the impact it had: "Every picture I've done has come out of something that has happened to me, has happened to me personally. A friend of mine had a son kidnapped and that kind of barbarism upset me so that I made 'High and Low' (1963). Since then I've gotten lots of letters, people accusing me of teaching people how to go about kidnapping children, but that's not what I meant. When it happened to him, it happened to me. Take gangsters, for example. They are stupid and they are dangerous, and I know it. So I make up 'Sanjuro' (1962) and he goes around and defends innocent people. Look at our government. I don't think in any other country there is so thick a wall separating people from government officials and agencies. I go and make a film about it and they say I'm a Communist. But that isn't the point. The point is that something happens to me and I don't like it and I make a film." (Source for the Akira Kurosawa quote: "The Films of Akira Kurosawa", Donald Richie, 1965) (Source for the quote by Kazuko Kurosawa - IMDb) P.S: On this day, 63 years ago, "High & Low" (1963) was released in Japan.
