In the works of Akira Kurosawa in the late period, those who have become famous in the late stage will be somewhat unwilling, or in other words, they will no longer pursue external evaluations. Spielberg said a few days ago. It's still a hit film like "War Horse" and "Lincoln". The most recent one is the pure "Dream Realizing Giant". Of course, looking at the old man's current spirit, I think he can make another 20 to 30 years. No problem. As for Kurosawa Akira's "Dream", it is really a work in the late stage of life or even in the late stage of life.

Speaking of which, we also have a director in China who uses colors a lot. Recently, he filmed a large-scale production of a Sino-foreign joint venture, and he was scolded a little bit. In comparison, Akira Kurosawa is known as the emperor of the movie, and he has been a batch of overseas brainless fans. , are all crowdfunded by a group of overseas fans. As for these fans, of course, they are also engaged in movies, such as Francis Coppola, George Lucas and the like.

When I was a child, when I was very young, I read a movie magazine and ranked the top 50 historical directors. Akira Kurosawa ranked second. As for the first, the one I mentioned above is Steven Spielberg.
