Akira Kurosawa condensed his life into eight dreams in his later years. ①+②: When I was young, I didn’t know how high the sky was, and I didn’t know how to fear the gods, so it was inevitable that I would suffer and be punished, but the gods were willing to take care of children who made unintentional mistakes, and they were souls worthy of saving. As a child's eyes are so pure, you can see many ghosts and ghosts that adults can't see. They look terrifying and distant, but they are so cute after contact. It is they who open the door to the world. If you step into the That rainbow door-like illusion. So, are children ready for the ordeal of this life? ③: Stumble and stumbling, there are storms before and avalanches, pig-like teammates are held back by eccentricity, walking in this world is very tiring, it is better to go with the flow or simply give up. Fortunately, I still have a righteous heart for a moment, and my nature has been kind since I was a child, and it was the gods who woke me up at a critical moment and gave me hope and courage to live. Continue to walk, accept God's instructions, complete the responsibilities entrusted to me, and accept the path assigned to me. ④: I have experienced the war, a kind of performance that gathers the ugliness of all human nature. I will send the undead of the deceased comrades in arms, and I will bear the pain of being captured and tortured. It seems that it is better to die together in the battle. battlefield. But the funny thing is that there are still vicious dogs like that day with small ammunition packs, and they are still barking war machines without knowing their lives. ⑤: The beauty in the art world can make me linger in despair. The spiritual world of Van Gogh, who was crazy enough to self-mutilate, is actually the director’s obsession in film creation. Admiring Van Gogh's paintings, as if being in them, the rough and uneven graininess, the high-contrast bright colors, the idyllic scenery that distorts the illusory world, the director's mood jumps to a dialogue with Van Gogh's contemporaries. It is a kind of mind wandering that can only be understood by experts. ⑥+⑦: The director not only experienced wars, but also nuclear explosions. As a unique means of self-destruction invented by human beings, the colorful radiation elements took their lives in the dazzling sight. As adults who have already lived for a while, it is unfair that children who have just arrived in the world have not yet felt beauty. Even the lingering people are already cannibalistic monsters, and this is self-inflicted. ⑧: The director has lived for a long time, experienced two world wars and human tragedies, and returned to his original heart in his later years as the same teenager. Humans have invented too many inventions that seem convenient but add to the troubles, the lights in the dark night cover the starry sky at night, the mechanical civilization drives the efficiency culture, but it is like a social animal wearing a blindfold and spinning in circles, and the vast beings do not know. what to pursue. Not as good as the Tao Yuanming's paradise shown by the director at the end, the film The Taoyuan that was cut down in the second dream reappeared in the director's twilight years. The old man who lived to be 103 years old warned earnestly that it is good to live, and it is really interesting to live. Akira Kurosawa summed up his life with a [dream], and it could be seen that he was very happy and let go, and the flowing water was constantly flowing.
