Sunshine Through The Rain Pt.4

[hornymaneee]

That's it?

[LB030377]

This seems like the first half of a wonderous fairy tale, a fairy tale whose second half is lost. I can appreciate the "artistic" whatever of ending it like this, but I'm afraid i'll have to disagree with those saying its fine to end it like this. This is a story that deserves...seems to demand....a proper ending.

[Prissi20]

wanna know what will happen? seek the fox wedding when sunshine rain happens and try the consequences. :P

[stbellini]

He lost his life for a bit of curiosity .And if he survived , he walked on a dark and hard way. The drugs work this way.

[stbellini]

The way seens beautiful but behind the rainbow live the truth

[7Flume]

The water reeds at the end reminds me of the beginning of Tarkovsky's 'Solaris' - Kurosawa must have been paying him homage.

[HeroicRebellion]

This may be even better than 7 Samurai

[christomacin]

this one and The Tunnel were the best. Pretty much any of the last four episodes (starting with The Crows) were the weakest. If I had to choose, I would say Mt. Fuji in Red was the weakest. So, my feelings for Dreams are mixed. I love about half of the film and have serious reservations about the other half.

[romeobishop]

The ending is perfect, What will happen, we will never know, so much beauty, and the small boy was just innocently curious, I can't see the Fox tribe refusing forgiveness.

[leroyfdk]

@romeobishop

I can completely see the Fox tribe refusing to forgive him. Listen to his mother's dire warning. Listen to the music. Look at the shadows beyond the rainbow. It's terrifying.

[romeobishop]

@leroyfdk That's the brillance of Kurosawa, he lets the viewer complete this dream...the mother tells her son an angry fox came looking for him and left a knife for her son to kill himself, she also tells him to ask forgiveness and that they don't usually forgive. While the darkness under the rainbow looks forboding it's because the foxes are angry but his youth and sincerity should spare his life.

wow....... el talento de akira

[MrRafely]

The most wonderful Kurosawa s dream

[missmurdoch]

I love falling asleep to this movie

[aluapmt]

This scene leave me in shock the first time that i watched this movie at age of 9 and 22 years later still caused me the same feeling! loveeee this dream!

[Kasperloeye]

@aluapmt I couldn't agree with you more!.. it's magical, forget million dollar special-effects!..this is what movie-making is all about! :)

[zenforaday]

this movie really made mark on me as a child - I could never forget this story.

[RainMan34]

There's nothing to figure out/ There is no clues as to what will happen. That's the beauty of it. There's no need to figure anything out, as our imagination is left to fill in the blanks.

Maybe that's what you were getting at.

[Stazzo82]

The little boy will be killed and eaten by foxes hehehehe.

I saw the first Kurosawa's movie

when i had about seven years.

[helentrees]

noooooooooooooooo

I want to see more!!!!

[EuroNazionalist]

Great Japanese People.

Great Japanese Beauty.

[kavtoM]

i thought, maybe his dream ended like this????

[DeBesten]

yes

kurosawa didn't intent to create a story or show metaphores or sht, he just recreated his actual dreams.

[kavtoM]

is this the end????

[Grissha]

Damn, this is one of the most beautiful shots I've ever seen in the whole cinema. The music adds an incredible atmosphere and spirit, it's absolute.

[thuthmosis]

Saw this when I was little. The idea of someone my age facing such grave circumstances stuck with me. Glad I found it again.

[refulga]

This passage, beginning of this movie, implies how human being rashly offend the nature, which is the central spirit throughout the entire film.

[Wildbillhitchcock]

Does someone know what's this song called?

[Cmdsouza]

beautiful movie

[TheLepper85]

Music matches perfecly well with the mood of the scene. One of the great "mystic" pieces I've ever heard.

[AlexanderThe6Great9]

Japan is a rich High-Tech country...

[KomonHouseholdObjex]

ok?

[kornmonkie]

At the end, we can kind of see moving shapes going from left to right of the rainbow. Were those on the actual film or is this because of the video quality here on youtube?

[OrenjiStar]

I think the shapes you're speaking of is actually waves of rain running across the rainbow. Youtube doesn't have the best quality but my clips are particularly clear.

[ZomBiezley]

@OrenjiStar I agree, nice quality. THANKS!!

[onepeaceableworld]

kornmonkie:

The film director, Akira Kurosawa, worked with a Special Effects company in California to produce this film. The Special Effects company is called Industrial Light and Magic. The rainbow was "made" using a rainmaker and a light source directed at a certain angle to simulate the sunshine. So, the image your seeing is the supply of water being blown across the set. I'd recommend seeing the original film called "Dreams" by Akira Kurosawa that came out in 1990.

[Wildbillhitchcock]

By the way, yhe rainbow effect has no camera effects or computer effects. I'm sure. But I don't think he had to wait for that. He just sprinkled water all over. I'm aware of the fact that he had to practise, but it was no coincidence.

[narendranvr]

It was poetic,heavenly and haunting. I have seen it as movy before, but still haunted by it.

[anchorsaweigh89]

the ending is perfect. keeps you thinking after its over.

[anchorsaweigh89]

the ending is perfect. keeps you thinking after its over.

[magnivincent]

the story about waiting for a rainbow is pure crap i believe. You cannot sit somewhere with a camera and wait for the rainbow to show up at that exact spot. Must be special effects, or the rainbow was allready there.

[nickknows]

best camera shot ever, and this is the best dream.

[yelfeee]

have you seen the part/scene with rainbow? they really, REALLY waited for that to shoot. -Harold Palad, AVT.

[gustavogomezdiaz]

Are you serious? They really did that? Did wait until the rainbow shows, without camera tricks or computer?

[yelfeee]

yes! sure of that. :)

[gustavogomezdiaz]

Japanese people are so perfectionists. That's ART!!

[RainMan34]

Incredible moment in 'Dreams'. So wondrous and mysterious. What a beautiful moment. I love how it leaves the audience putting the pieces together in their own minds as to this boys journey. It sets the dialogue for the rest of the film very well.

Magic

[mercuryila87]

La scena più bella che abbia mai visto..!ne rimani meravigliata!!!!

[neusjevdzalm]

definitively my nr1 favorite.

EVER!

thank you

[eppursimuove64]

There´s no end for a dream. And the Akira Kurosawa dreams´re poetry. Poetry doesn´t end.

[levistshirt]

actually, I think that's not the point. The point is: we're supposed to be mature and ready to assume our mitakes since it's our own fault. We're supposed to accept and face the consequences, and that's what the little boy did!that's the big deal! But I agree with your comment!

[Wildbillhitchcock]

I beg to differ. I don't actually think Akira was thinking about any transcendental matter. It was just a dream, nothing more. And that's why it's so beautiful.

[KYPCKDIVER]

right on...he wasn't going for some kind of

symbolism...just images whilst sleeping...

and it is beautiful...

(i like village of the mills personally)

[Nornegest]

I am sorry but I have to agree with levistshirt -- Kurosawa was descended from a samurai clan, which took pride in self-discipline and displays of courage. His journey to the end of the rainbow reflects the stern traditions of the warrior class, and at the same time his own coming of age.

[ZAN479]

wait is this the end of this dream? o_0 *lost*
