Kikujiro

I watched Kikujiro by Takeshi Kitano.

This is maybe because of my bias towards Japan, but the movie speaks directly to my heart. The film digs in deeply into rotten human existence, and is uplifting at the same time. By contrast, I gained new perspective, thanks Takeshi!

It is refreshing to see a movie without special effects that speaks to you about people, not super-heros.

“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein (author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer)
