This will create a folder with RedBeard.avi and RedBeard.srt files inside. They both must remain in the same folder in order for the subtitles to work when playing RedBeard.avi.

The quality of this is to be expected, I think it was originally ripped from a re-enhanced CD. I found the torrent on the web, but without subs and looked all over until I found the sub file and 'glued' them together, so to speak. And Voila!

Red Beard is a 1965 Japanese film directed by Akira Kurosawa about the relationship between a village doctor (Toshiro Mifune) and his new trainee. It is an adaptation of a novel by Shugoro Yamamoto. Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel The Insulted and the Injured provided the source for a subplot about a young girl, Otoyo (Terumi Niki), who is rescued from a brothel.[citation needed] Red Beard looks at the problem of social injustice and explores two of Kurosawa's favourite topics: existential humanism and existentialism.

Red Beard is the last of numerous films in which Kurosawa worked with Mifune.

It is also Kurosawa's last black-and-white film. According to Prince, this is also the only Kurosawa film to feature nudity (in a scene where doctors suture a large wound on a young woman who was still semi-conscious).


CAST:
    * Toshiro Mifune - Dr. Kyojio Niide, Akahige ("Red Beard")
    * Yuzo Kayama - Dr. Noboru Yasumoto
    * Kyoko Kagawa - "The Mantis" or "Madwoman"
    * Terumi Niki - Otoyo

This Edit is adding more description and correcting my original mistake naming this as a Chinese language film (at the time I originally uploaded this I happened to be watching numerous Chinese Kung-Fu flicks and hit the wrong language button - my bad)

Enjoy !

Comments

Thanks Pirate Bay for putting this in the right category.

I see there's been a number of ppl who've reached 100% in their download and are now seeding.

So? Tell me how my first torrent/seed job is working folks!

Enjoy!
Thanks winydink. You're right! I've been uploading some Chinese vids to VEOH also today and my brain was fixed mostly on those. I knew this was Japanese. When I see there are no peers I'll take this down and re-up it with your correction.

Note: I've renamed some of the files from the original torrents' name, but I don't remember which is which.

Let me know if you can't find them either here on PirateBay or on www (dot) mininova (dot) org and I'll start new torrents and seed them

excellent quality...nice movie...thanks.
Damn, just can't find a decent rip of this film! I got another version through R@p!dsh@re, and the picture quality is quite bad, and also it's in two halves that can't be joined because they're at different data rates! Amateur rippers! Oh well, my search goes on. :)
Thanks man - the quality's not too bad at all! :) I got another version that was larger than this and worse quality, so I'm keeping this one. Thanks again. :)
http://asiandvdclub.org/ is really good for kurosawa.. dont wanna rain on piratebays parade - we all love TPB - but for asian movies, like kurosawa, it's much better. they have serious film formats (like a 3CD, 22GB version of kurosawa's seven samurai.)
Oh man, I had no idea this film was gonna be 3 hours long... if I'd known, I would never have downloaded this one. 1.12 GB is just not enough for a 185 minute film... I'd rate the A/V - 7/7. It's decent, and watchable, for what it is. Resolution is really low - 528x240, so you can see a lot of compression artifacts and such. I'd recommend looking for at least a 1.4+ GB version if you really want this in good quality, because at that size it SHOULD have the proper resolution and bitrate etc.
@shiningwiz

Like they say, those who don't do - play critic. Lemme see.... you've uploaded HOW many videos ? - Oh right... NONE. In spite of all your techno-whining the bottom line AS YOU YOURSELF said:

"It's decent, and watchable..."

So what's all the complaining about ?

I'd be happy if someone upped a better version with English subs included. I'd then be happy to delete this. I've been seeding this for 3 1/2 years with only 400 or so uploads grabbed from me with another 12-13 seeders on average joining me. If these other seeders averaged a similar amount then I'd say we provided a good bit of pleasure to quite a number of people, I can't ask for more than that.
I really can't thank you enough for your generosity and efforts in sharing this treasure with us. On behalf of all who appreciate you, my apologies for those who have the incredibly bad manners to actually complain about a gift freely given. I'll seed this at least 1/1. Cheers and thanks to seeders too!
@Shasham - Thanks for the nice words, I just now realized I answered "shiningwiz" a month after his ridiculous post and he will probably never even see my rejoinder - well, let it stand anyway. Maybe others will read it and act more maturely before commenting uselessly.
thanks.
