Kurosawa fanboy ramblings
I've been on a bit of a Kurosawa binge the last few days. I want to be Toshiro Mifune when I grow up.
More realistically, I want to do one of the scenes where someone is gliding through a room filled with enemies, cutting them all down, leaving a trail of people in various stages of collapse behind them. I don't know how I would work this into one of our films, much less get the people required to do it, but I really want to try.
Currently my plan is: Continue taking kendo. Start taking iaido sometime next year. Cultivate contacts, looking for people with any amount of acting talent. Shamelessly exploit them to make some kind of samurai film. Relax, knowing I have fulfilled the great Barenaked Ladies/One Week prophesy.
