Ran (1985) is a cinematic masterpiece that offers a fresh take on William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, "King Lear." The story revolves around an aging 16th-century warlord, masterfully portrayed by Tatsuya Nakadai, who decides to divide his vast kingdom equally among his three sons. As he succumbs to the flattering deceits of his treacherous offspring, played by Akira Terao and Jinpachi Nezu, he unwittingly sets the stage for his own downfall. The youngest son, portrayed by Daisuke Ryu, is the only family member who dares to speak the truth, but his honesty leads to his banishment. The warlord's pride and misjudgment ultimately result in the collapse of his domain, as his sons engage in a brutal power struggle for complete control.
