A Message from Akira Kurosawa: For Beautiful Movies

Segmented by the preeminent parts of what makes a feature, this documentary gives us only but a fragment of how this master works to give us, as he calls them ''beautiful movies''. That being said, this limited pursuit is of no detriment for fans of his (like myself), as every subject approached here gives so much intrigue and wonderment for the artist in question and his craft ; Wether its by showcasing some backstage footage that hints at the process of his filmmaking style, or from the help of interviews in which he regales us with his views on the medium, Kurosawa's passion for the medium overflows the whole way through.

Included in the CC Raw Lust highlights, it's sort of a more matter-of-fact look at Kurosawa's creative style and his understanding of cinema than Toad's Oil, dissecting Kurosawa from ten perspectives: source material, script, subplot, shooting, lighting, art direction, costumes, editing, music, and directing.

The editing part is still very agreeable, while filming and cutting, only the script is really tired to write, with the crew together to improve the script is also quite good, is a little bit of the feeling of on-set tyrant.

Finally, when it comes to how to teach others how to make movies, he said in a very pretentious manner that "talent can't be learned". He doesn't want to convey anything in his movies, but rather wants to resonate with others, and he has trouble explaining what a movie is.

A practicing director who forgets to study technique can't make it. Oil painting composition. The story of well-drawn characters is naturally interesting.
