Did anybody else burst out laughing


during the quiet dramatic parts when Lady Kaede was making her way across a room or entering a room, everything quiet, and her pants made that annoying swishing zippy sound as she walked.

And also wow, I thought lady kaede was ugly and disgusting but man was I turned on when she climbed onto jiro.

No but I laughed when the fool was about to be slain and suddenly the attacker is hit with an arrow and it pans up to Hidetora with a priceless look on his face holding a bow accompained by a high flute melody

It was hilarious

I laughed when Lady Kaede pretended to cry to get Jiro's sympathy.

I think Kurosawa understands that the notion of someone as terrifying as Lady Kaede suddenly crying and acting all vulnerable is meant to be funny. If not, he wouldn't have included that little moment where she slowly squashes a bug while she's pretending to cry.

I smile when Lady Kaede was beheaded. Her character so deserved it. I applaud every time I see that part.
