The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Hiroyuki Sanada
- None of us knows how long he shall live or when his time will come. But soon, all that will be left of our brief lives is the pride our children feel when they speak our names.
- This is a good thing, mixing culture to make something new, something no one has ever seen. This is kind of a new history.
- When i’ve done camera test, after we’ve shot and I’ve seen the monitor with the glasses (wearing a Kimono) and looking by myself in 3D. Oh my god. Especially for a Samurai film. I’ve never seen that. It’s kind of a culture shock.
- A lot of country making films in English, but in Japan we are very shy to speak English.
- When I was eight or nine years old, I saw the TV version of 47 Ronin, played by Toshiro Mifune. He played Oishi. That was my first experience. I watched every week with my brother. “Who plays Oishi tonight? Who will play Kira tonight?” And we fought every week.
- The difference between working on Asian and American films is in the producer and director; everyone has their own style. But, Hollywood has a lot more money; they can spend a lot on films, and time. In Europe, there’s a small budget and thinking about commercial. Only budget and taste is different between there and Hollywood.
- I am glad to be here to create a new history in our industry. I’m very proud of this.
- 47 Ronin is a very special movie for me. Not only a Samurai thing. Not only a Hollywood fantasy. It has a very special mixture between Japanese traditional culture and Western culture for the costume, set, story. Everything. I believe it will be a very special film that no one has ever seen.
- It’s a Samurai story [47 ronin], so if we change too much Japanese audiences will have strong against feelings to the film. It’s not good.
- I’ve done a lot of Samurai film in Japan, and sometimes done the choreography by myself.
