"Dream"
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a collection of short stories similar to "Strange Talk". I believe this must be a relatively private memory of Akira Kurosawa himself. I have also dreamed of the endless sunset wasteland. This is indeed a real dream, and Akira Kurosawa has put the shell of human evil on it. This can only be regarded as a casual prose, but it loses the script and drama that Akira Kurosawa is most proud of.
As long as the tone film, the overall feeling is heavy, even an ordinary story audience will love to watch it.
Waiting to die is not living.
Akira Kurosawa's films are full of accusations of human greed and evil, and he is disappointed with human beings.
Some people say that life is hard, but they have no heart. In fact, life is good, life is wonderful.
notes:
There is no bravado or pretentious shots, everything is gorgeous and harmonious, yet rigorous and powerful.
In the film, Akira Kurosawa uses his consistent audio-visual style and philosophical thinking to show his reflection on modern society and his condemnation of various folly of human beings through eight profound dreams. sharp criticism. The eight stages of dreams are independent and organically connected, and constitute Kurosawa's overall thinking on the world in the late period of Akira Kurosawa. In the first dream "Sun Rain", the boy represents the original nature of human beings, and the short knife is the punishment law for breaking the taboo. Akira Kurosawa used this dream to illustrate the myths and fears of human beings about taboos. The second dream "Peach Garden" is full of allegorical fairy tale color. In the dream, peach trees are given life, and human beings slaughter them arbitrarily for the festival. This dream is to accuse human beings of their arrogant attitude towards nature. The third dream, "Blizzard," praises human beings who have the courage to survive in the face of hardships and obstacles, and will eventually win. The fourth dream "Tunnel" is an indictment of the so-called "rationality" of war. The concept of this dream gives people a natural association. Time is symbolized by space. Walking into a dark tunnel is like falling into a war. Walking out of the tunnel means surviving. The absurdity of war is pointless. The ferocious wolf dog has been haunting the veterans, snarling and roaring, as if bewitched and summoned by the god of death. The clip came to an abrupt end here, and Kurosawa's fear of human beings' slaughtering nature and pessimism about the future world came out. The fifth dream, "The Raven", expresses that humanities and art are a necessary part of the progress of history. Van Gogh said that the artist's mission is to discover the beauty of nature. However, the natural environment is gradually disappearing from our view. This contains Akira Kurosawa's deep respect for the master, but also an encouragement to himself. The sixth dream "Red Mount Fuji" expresses the worry about the future use of nuclear energy and other energy sources and the anxiety that human beings will eventually be destroyed by nature in the future. In the seventh dream "Ghost Cry", human beings once ambitiously wanted to conquer the natural world, but eventually led to their own destruction. The eighth dream "Waterwheel Village" depicts the simplest and most natural picture of life for the audience, which is exactly the ideal human way of life that Akira Kurosawa aspires to.
