Added DiffLines:
* Kyle's review of Creator/AkiraKurosawa's ''Film/{{Ran}}'' gives a sobering look into Kurosawa's life leading up to this movie. By the time he started work on ''Ran'', several of his frequent collaborators had died, and his wife also passed during the creation of the film. Knowing this, Kyle argues, can give the bleak tone of ''Ran'' another layer of poignancy, particularly concerning the character of Hidetora, a man who rose to exemplary success on the battles of ancient Japan, but cannot stave off the spectre of death for much longer.

** As he delves deeper into the film, he identifies the core conflict of the film being based on [[SociopathicSoldier destructive aggression]] [[HonorBeforeReason being justified by normalized moral codes]] [[BlindObedience without questioning why they're normalized at all.]] The most sobering part is when he points out that ''all'' cultures are guilty of this in ''every'' war, and the reason this has to be explored is because ''all of us'' are capable of doing the same thing.
