Minor and adult

Akira Kurosawa is worthy of being the hallmark figure of a movie decorator. The beauty of the whole movie is unsurpassed, but it really feels like a waste of money for these overly beautified things... I am also realistic!
The movie talks about Kurosawa Akira's 8 dreams, and near the end, the dream has become a bit like a trip. In the end, the dream and reality have built a bridge!
The so-called underage dreams express fear, anxiety, indulging in fantasies, a sense of justice, confusion, separation from reality, and a sense of color,
while the so-called adult dreams express despair, obedience and destruction, death, guilt, escape, and darkness
. It is very clear to distinguish the eight dreams according to this. I am very disappointed that the eighth dream at the end turns out to be a "Peach Blossom Land" that does not exist or even cannot exist, and until the end of the film, there is no Kurosawa. Bright aged image. There are indeed many things that can be reflected in the state of being a minor and an adult, and only people can reflect on themselves when they are old. Without this, Akira Kurosawa can only continue to stay in his decoration team! The so-called "Peach Blossom Garden" has always been just an illusion, used to comfort people's hearts in the void, as if life will change into a different shape as long as we don't do those wrong things. This inversion can never be established.
So the movie is still more like a high-end environmental protection film in the end, which is really expensive!
If I had to choose my favorite dream, it would be the fox marrying a daughter. Those colors are unsurpassed!

    I only like 1258, the last one still depends on Li Zhizhong for extra points. The viewer in the dream is confused and curious as a child, to fear and surprise in adulthood, and finally to compassion and joy. 2017.9.10 The more you go on, the closer your dreams become to reality. Every dream has a "ritual". "Tunnel" once again "people are not as good as dogs". "Red Mount Fuji" was exhausted and fell asleep for a while, and also had a dream.

    Children have fabled and fantastic dreams, while adults have reflective dreams that confront their inner fears. A satirical portrayal of the world, relying too much on science and technology to predict the future, and human beings who destroy nature will suffer the consequences. It’s just that the straightforward expression and subtitle transition are blunt. Perhaps this work represents Akira Kurosawa’s state of mind when he entered his later years. It is like a masterpiece of art, but it is not a masterpiece that belongs to him.
