Akira`s Dreams


Akira Kurosawa, the man whose movies inspired the creation of the Star Wars series and influenced the minds of many directors, his dreams.

Firstly, do not expect to see something simple. Engage your symbolic view on life, turn on your metaphor-detecting-sense, switch off that down to earth, realistic, straight-forward outlook on life. This movie is to be seen and felt and learnt from (at least in my point of view).

Much emphasis is placed on colors, garments, and landscape, it is a very visual movie, a beautiful movie.
Some connecting threads between the different dreams but what each person takes away from the movie probably differs (dream interpretation is never universal) but human-nature intervention seems to be a common theme.

By the seventh dream I have to admit that I was practically dreaming... some less patient souls may find the movie too slow or even boring...

Enjoy
