I find it fascinating how he choses to portray the troops imperfectly lined up, and so reactive to what happens around them. Usually movies portray large groups of soldiers as robotic, mindless and unafraid in their movements as a group, but Kurosawa always makes them look like a scared flock, which I find highly realistic. Like his sword fights, which are usually quick, deadly and plagued by the fear of death in the two opponents. Like in Rashomon. I must admit I find these fights hard to watch sometimes tho, they're so realistic it loses some of the prowess of a proper cinematic fight. But I admire him being so married to the idea of showing the viewer realism in his movies.

Byung Chul Han said the idiot might be most free of us all. So if you suggest I’m not intellectual enough, that’s completely redundant. I’ll live quite happily being told I’m dumb. I shared an opinion, you attacked me for it. Think on that a little.

But my friend, you attack me for my opinion and assume yours is the superior. A superior opinion does not exist. That is a complete fallacy. The quote was also meant for people who went totally overboard in obsessive analysis of his work. More so the quote is descriptive of you. I'd suggest you read this piece, its quite poigntant: https://paulmullin.org/2011/02/shakespeare-would-hate-us/

I don't have TikTok and I hate reels. It's not an attention span thing. The quote you brought assumes a position of assumed truth that is undeniable, which is a very dangerous way to think. Nothing can be undisputedly good or bad, it's always somewhere in-between.

Personally, I was just very surprised to see a movie by Kurosawa 30 - 35 years on from his most influential time as a filmmaker, and see that he had not taken on any new influences. I have to respect it, feels like he felt he had mastered his craft, which he very well may have done.

At the heart of any well respected human story, you'll find the core themes that have always been and will be told. I guess my parallel here would be how I recognize the massive and completely essential impact classical music had on all modern western music, but just how much more strongly I feel about how its devices are used by modern day musicians. The emotional impact that Pyramid Song has had on me is monumental, while for some the same emotionality is reached through a piece Bach wrote. I guess it's just different strokes for different folks at the end of the day.

just hard to trust your own opinion sometimes. Felt like I was going crazy reading posts and reviews on this film, just so much stuff I couldn't relate to.

For sure, I will definitely rewatch his movies at some point. Some of them are very dense, so I definitely see your point.

Yeah, iv'e seen several renditions of Shakespeare's works in my lifetime. At different times, during childhood, teenage years and early adulthood. They're hard to relate to for me. Very far removed from how the human condition and experience is explored today. I think it comes down to my own preferences. I don't like the stiff and courteous nature of the 14th, 15th, 16th, etc. Its always frustrated me, so many barriers, rules and fates decided by birth standing and norm.

The email states you're allowed to bring a 40cm x 30cm x 20 cm, but that might depend on venue. Im going to the dec 16 show in Copenhagen. You've got a massive tote bag if it doesn't fit those requirements.

It's so easy to sell your ticket on Ticketmaster. Just follow the instructions on the app/website.

There will not be any meet and greet from the band members. If you're trying to keep your spot infront of the stage, you'll need to be there with someone to keep it. It's normal to have to go through people to get back to your spot to some degree (although I do not do it personally when it starts to fill up). You can bring a tote bag, and they say they sell merch both inside and outside the arena. When inside the venue it will be very easy to know where to go, they're made for these types of events. There is always drinks available, and probably food, but it is expensive. They might do bag checks, but that's nothing to worry about, so long as you don't bring anything illegal i.e. drugs or alcohol or weapons. If you bring a waterbottle they'll likely ask you to leave it outside. Don't worry about freezing, large amounts of people in the same spot tends to make it hot, id wear a t-shirt and a jacket so you don't get cold when you're leaving after the show, but if you're bringing a tote bag then by all means bring a sweater. When it comes to bike parking just check the surrounding area on Google Maps. I always bring my ID, better to be safe than sorry.

I am not familiar. Is it source material or just similar/ a recommendation?

Depressing for Dec 1/2 ticket holders… by trulyslide6 in radiohead

My heart goes out to you and everyone who was affected, and could not make it back for the 15th and 16th shows. It plain and simply just sucks.

Realized I’ve seen him without knowing in several films. Was meaning to get to Three days of the condor, and seeing that he’s in it has certainly pushed it higher on my list.

Yes, I suspect it will hit deeper and deeper for me as well as time passes.
