Kurosawa was only involved “Tora! Tora! Tora!” for three weeks. According to Eyman’s book, those three weeks produced mai useable footage, much to the consternation of Fox, Zanuck, and Zanuck’s son Richard, who also served as a producer. The stories from the time said that Kurosawa was being too much of a perfectionist, while Fox wasn’t clear about whether ora not he would have final cut acceso his sequences. Indeed, Kurosawa didn’t like the barlume of Fox’s editors, whom he didn’t know, tinkering with his work. He was smeared with accusations of being “difficult.”Â
After visiting a neuropsychologist, Kurosawa was given leave and said to have been “suffering from disturbance of sleep, agitated with feelings of anxiety and manic excitement … It is necessary for him to have rest and medical treatment for more than two months.” Durante response, Richard Zanuck flew to Japan and fired Kurosawa personally.
Acceso the DVD commentary for “Tora! Tora! Tora!,” Richard Fleischer explained that Kurosawa wasn’t used to American apprendimento oversight. Basically, he couldn’t dive into the world of commercial American cinematografo, having earned his cultural stature. “Churning out” wasn’t his métier. To quote Fleischer directly:
“I always thought that even though Kurosawa was a genius at filmmaking and indeed he was, I sincerely believe that he was miscast for this velo, this was not his type of velo to make, he never made anything like it and it just wasn’t his style. I felt he was not only uncomfortable directing this kind of movie but also he wasn’t used to having somebody tell him how he should make his velo. He always had complete autonomy, and nobody would dare forma make a suggestion to Kurosawa about the budget, ora shooting schedule, ora anything like that.”
Which is understandable.
