For three and a half hours, this film goes incredibly quick.

It really is an incredible work... the first kurosawa i've seen.

Post thoughts, and advise me where i should go from here in the kurosawa catalog. I'll post a bit more about the film later, if time permits (first, i have to work on an asian philosophy paper).

~ Sigh, mournful sister, whisper and turn / I will rattle like dry leaves when I go / Stand in the mists, where my fire used to burn / I will camp on the night breeze when I go / And should you glimpse my wandering form out on the borderline / Between death and resurrection and the counsel of the pines / Do not worry for my comfort, do not sorrow for me so / All your diamond tears will rise up and adorn the skies beside me when I go~ - "When I Go" Dave Carter
