It's a dream, it's not a dream

what! ! ! What a surprise! This movie is absolutely amazing, go see it now! ! ! Akira Kurosawa is really awesome. The 1990s movie, this set, this color, and the structure of the whole movie are really two words, awesome!

Sun Rain, Taoyuan, Crows, and Waterwheel Village are bright in color, while wind and snow, red Mt. Fuji, tunnels, and the weeping devil are full of cool tones, low and depressing.

The dream of the sun rain, at first I thought it wanted to express a childhood curiosity, but I finally realized that it originally expressed a kind of reverence for nature and should not be disturbed. The little boy went to see the fox marry because of curiosity. , but his mother told him that the fox didn't like to be seen by others when he married, and the fox held a grudge, but the boy went anyway, which eventually led to the fox finding her mother and giving him a dagger. In fact, it implies that human beings will inevitably be punished after destroying and interfering with nature.

"The fox is very vengeful, you have to be prepared to die, and the fox lives at the end of the rainbow"

Here I have to talk about the scene of the fox getting married. It was a wedding, but it was very cold and weird, like a funeral. (will be mentioned later)

Taoyuan Dream, from the perspective of a little boy, pondered the destruction of nature, "peaches can be bought with money, but where can I buy an orchard full of peach blossoms?" It really hit the tears. The structure of this picture really admires the five bodies, the wife is amazing! First is the soul of the peach tree, then the real peach tree, and finally the stump left after being cut down. Really, you can immediately get what it wants to express without using lines.

The crow's dream is really too beautiful! Start with Van Gogh's paintings "Wheat Field", "Starry Sky" and "Sunflower", then enter the painting, follow Van Gogh, and look for the beauty of nature. It is really beautiful. When he walks in the painting, it is really Mouth-watering.

Enter the painting to find Van Gogh

As the last dream in the movie, the waterwheel village can be said to be the warmest and most comfortable dream in the entire movie. Of course, it is also the theme mapping of the whole movie. From the first dream to the seventh dream, I personally feel that I am paving the way for the last dream. I especially like the lines in this dream! ! "People get so used to comfortable days, they think the more convenient the better, and they leave the really good stuff behind... Yes, it's dark at night, so why make it as bright as the day? I don't like it It seems like the night sky in the daytime can't see the stars... We don't like to cut down trees... But the trees that fell naturally are enough for us. We chop those trunks into firewood, and if we turn the firewood into charcoal... ...just a few trees are enough, cow dung is also a good fuel, we try to live by the ancient way, because this is the most natural modern people forget...they are just a part of nature, but They destroy...the nature we depend on, they always think they can improve the world, especially those scholars, they may be smarter than others...but most of them don't understand...the true meaning of nature, they only invent They are complacent about the things that make people unhappy in the end, and what's worse, most people... also see these inventions as miracles and deities them, and what they don't know is that they have gradually They have lost nature, they don't know they are dying, and the most important thing for human beings is... clean air and water... and those trees and plants that we depend on for life are all dirty... ...The polluted dirty air, polluted water... also polluted the human heart." Akira Kurosawa gave us hope in this dream, an ideal world where there is no war, no nuclear pollution, and man and nature coexist in harmony .

Then I have to mention the funeral inside. I mentioned the first dream of the fox getting married, which is a rather ironic contrast to the funeral here. In the funeral in the last dream, people did not wear white silk and satin. Instead, they dressed a little festively. Playing drums and dancing to say goodbye to those who have passed away. Wedding or funeral? I think this is what Kurosawa wants to express hahaha

Then there are Fengxuemeng, the tunnel, the red Mt. Fuji, and the weeping devil. I feel that Fengxuemeng a little bit wants to express that human beings want to challenge nature, but after all, I don’t know the power of nature itself. It is a bit ironic that humans are “ignorant” and “self-righteous”. perhaps. The tunnel reveals the suffering caused by war, whether it is for human beings or nature. Of course, war is caused by human beings, but the incidental damage to nature will eventually come back to human beings. The red Mount Fuji and the weeping devil, starting from nuclear pollution, remind the world to abide by the contract with nature.

No, let's go here, can't write anymore??

Dreams quotes

  • Nuclear Plant Worker: The red one is plutonium-239. 10,000,000th of a gram causes cancer. The yellow one in strontium-90. It gets inside you and causes leukemia. The purple one is cesium-137. It affects reproduction. It causes mutations. It makes monstrosities. Man's stupidity is unbelievable. Radioactivity was invisible, and because of its danger, they colored it. But that only lets you know which kind kills you.
