      "Dream" Depicts Nature and the Good Things that Pass Away

      This film is divided into eight parts, each depicting nature and the beautiful things that have vanished. Different film techniques and high-saturation colors show people's destruction and dependence on nature. Among them, the Taolin volcano man-eating ghosts all show people's wantonness toward nature. The destruction and the final waterwheel village return to nature. The dissatisfaction with the destruction of today's society and human beings is expressed through the words of the elderly,...

      Akira Kurosawa's dream

      The first dream: "Sun Rain". The little boy was found peeping at the fox's wedding. When he fled home, his mother gave him a short knife given by the fox and asked the boy to apologize to the fox. Guilt and timidity, the boy walks to the end of the rainbow, looking for the fox's home.

      The second dream: "Taoyuan". On Girls' Day, "I" found a girl in pink that no one else could see at home. Under her leadership, I came to the cut down peach garden and...

      art

      He lamented that Akira Kurosawa's films are works of art. You have to be patient and feel it. His control over the camera is too great. The flowing fog, moving people, flying snow, and clever use of sound. The dance in the second dream is also It's so beautiful, the costumes and props are very carefully arranged. And the tunnel dream uses color synaesthesia, with red lights on the angry dog. Van Gogh's dream was something I fantasized about when I was a child. There was an oil painting of...

      "Dream"---Dream 123

      The first film in 2021 is "Dream" by Akira Kurosawa.

      I have seen the textbook version of Akira Kurosawa's film "Seven Samurai", as well as the filming technique "Rashomon" that I like.

      The type of shooting of "Dream" is what I like, at least I used to like it. A movie is composed of many stories. It can be properly distracted. You don't have to concentrate for 2 hours. I haven't finished the movie yet. A problem that...

      The color Kurosawa is so gorgeous, and some of the pictures are so beautiful that they look like paintings. Especially like the fox wedding and crossing van gogh. The prediction of a nuclear explosion is extremely scary. But some people find it boring. Just liking it makes people selfish. As for the deep connotation, I am superficial. Regarding straightforward preaching, opinions vary. It would be great if I could record my dreams in movies. Why don't you start remembering your...

      I watched it with the director of Sichuan University, and the first few liked it very much. About the fox marrying a daughter, in the section where the dead souls of the Japanese army passed through the tunnel, they began to sleep. . . The repentance of a defeated country sometimes comes from another angle, but war, from any angle, is a sin of human...

      I like the three dreams of Sun Rain/Taoyuan/Waterwheel Village, especially the Sun Rain, the story of the strange fox getting married, which has the sense of form and ritual of ancient Japanese legends, and the rainbow picture is especially beautiful... I also like to paint in Van Gogh The scene of walking through the middle of the road... In addition, the other dreams are too straightforward, and I don't like them. Anyway, they are also master works. Well, maybe people like to teach when they...

      Akira Kurosawa's most perfect work, as the last film of Akira Kurosawa's overall viewing is very wise. The intersection of idyll and hellscape, the shadow of war and nuclear explosion is a prediction of how big reality is. Many people say that Akira Kurosawa's sermons and hints are too obvious, but do you need to play narrative skills when telling these ideas? Movies are the carrier of ideas, or the expression of emotions. Works worthy of deep...

    There are eight Dreams realms in the film, which run through almost all themes of human life, war and peace, society and life. There are different Dreams in different Dreams realms, with different colors, presenting all the themes that humans face one by one. The overall structure of the story has been completely separated from the plot factors and turned to deep thinking about life. A large number of long shots and excellent visual...

    • Nuclear Plant Worker: The red one is plutonium-239. 10,000,000th of a gram causes cancer. The yellow one in strontium-90. It gets inside you and causes leukemia. The purple one is cesium-137. It affects reproduction. It causes mutations. It makes monstrosities. Man's stupidity is unbelievable. Radioactivity was invisible, and because of its danger, they colored it. But that only lets you know which kind kills you.
