this is what happens when you have both mommy & daddy issues

you know akira kurosawa is a revolutionary filmmaker when a 3.5 hour long samurai epic felt like an 90 minute long comedy

(Ether)eal cinema

The funeral act might be my one of my favourite moments in cinema because at first, Watanabe's colleagues dismiss his efforts to build the park as either luck or a desperate attempt for recognition. But as they talk more and more, flashbacks would take use back to the moments when he worked hard for the making of the park. This made people shift from doubt to iration shows how a person can start to appreciate someone's efforts more fully after their death.

The contrast of high and low between the characters:
- High and low socially
- High and low economically
- High and low morally
- High and low emotionally
- Highs and lows of the physical locations

This kinda reminds me of Parasite but the main plot and execution of both the films differ alot.
Comparing one masterpiece to another.

imma go sleep on a busy highway tonight and DIE 👍

ohh to be a samurai in the 16th century japan, no worries in life just waiting for the time when you cut open your own stomach and get your head decapitated.

kore-eda might be the only filmmaker who can justify kidnapping a small girl is the right thing to do.
