Week 2 Wednesday's class

In Today’s class we watched a movie and it was called Akira Kurosawa Dreams. It was a series of dreams and all were very interesting. The first one was called Foxes weeding; I really don’t get this dream at all. It was about this little boy watching those people playing instruments and then they saw him and he ran out. Then he came back to his house and his mother said to him that he has to kill himself and his mom said to him to ask for forgiveness. The little boy asked her where I can find them and she said under the rainbow and after he saw the rainbow. This dream was confusing at least for me. Well I really liked this dream because it was a utopian dream. All started when he brings something to his sister and he asked her that he saw 6 girls and there only five. Then he saw this girl and he followed her to this amazing place. Then this people appeared to him and he told them that he cried when the trees were cut off. Then by a miracle those peaches trees appear and the little boy was happy. There were some interesting dreams that have strong messages. There was the dream of the tunnel and this dream portray suffering because a lot of soldiers died because of war and this scene where this soldier said to the commander that he is parents were waiting for him. This dream showed how many soldiers died because of war and how many parents still waiting for their sons and daughters to come home. Another dream was the one called Mount Fuji in Red this dream had a powerful message. Basically what this dream tries to communicate is that many people are dying because Radio activity. Also, it showed what radio activity causes in people like, cancer and not be able to reproduce. Another dream a found quite interesting was the weeping Demon talked about how missiles and bombs destroy the earth ceaseless. Also, the big Dandelions symbolize mutations and how many animals, flowers, and died because of the missiles and bombs. The last dream was Villages of the watermills expressed about how we don’t appreciate nature and we are losing it. How we change firewood for fuel. Also how man invents things that make people unhappy. Overall it was a succinct movie and I learn a lot.

  1. "I really don’t get this dream at all" I ALSO didn't get this dreams at all, in a way i don't think we all did a first. The last story seemed to wrap everything together (the value of Nature) :)

  2. You summerized this, and not very well either. You also didnt give your interpretation of the movie, or was specific on your thoughts.
