It’s a new month. What will it bring? What do you want it to bring? I’m going to sit here for a few minutes, and think about one thing to do this month that I’ve not done before. That shouldn’t be difficult based on the choices we have in this wonderful world. I just remembered why I’m thinking this way; it’s getting clearer as I go along. I saw Akira Kurosawa’s great movie Ikiru. To be honest, it’s probably not for everyone, but that can be said about most movies. Maybe some people will think it’s too slow. Keep in mind though that the way it unfolds is its beauty. If you’re used to fast-paced movies that leave your mind on edge, and in a fog sometimes, Ikiru could be a delightful change. There’s one scene that will remain in my memory for a long time; it’s simple and beautiful, a different kind of beauty that’s not easy to describe.
While I’m thinking about the month of March, maybe you’ll think about getting the movie. I have a feeling you’ll find your own reasons for enjoying it. www.akirakurosawa.info
