I just watched this for the first time,what an masterpiece!

i just watched it. good and i liked the wilderness shots, but i felt it didnt go deep into darzus character. camera angles were a bit stilted-- you have an old man of the woods and a younger russian man sitting around a campfire-- that would the perfect scene for a close-up at darzu, illuminated by the the small fire burning and reflecting off of his wrinkled and wise face while he tells a story of his youth, but that never happened. i also didnt care for the jocular, basic russian he spoke-- was the director going for the wise old man angle or the silly, comical old man? you cant have the wise man look like a clown.
ending wasnt poignant enough. good but not great. 6.8/10 for me, and i apparently am in the minority of people who werent overly thrilled with it.

I think in real life Dersu kinda spoke like that ,he wasnt fluent in russian.I havent read any Arsenyev's books so i dont know how Dersu spoke in real life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Arsenyev
Many reasons why i liked this movie,character of Dersu is one of them and the comparison between him and orthodox russians who wonder into wilderness and find this funky fella who has these siberian shamanic beliefs and his views on life seem rather strange and odd. But the more they hang out the more they see that this funky fellas wisdom about life and nature are to be respected.
Dersu saw everything as alive or personalised (or spirited or having a soul) .From plants to animals to sun and moon and wind and fire.You upset the fire then forest might burn for days ,u upset the wind then a storm might follow etc.Shortly put - everything around you is to be respected.
Dersu was an totally unselfish character who would think about the well being of others who he would never meet and naturally do something about it (like fixing up the broken shack he wasnt planning to use while soldiers just goofed around being useless and asking for matches and food to be left behind there so that someone who might be in need and ends up in there could use them) .Or when he got upset with one soldier who threw food leftovers to fire instead of throwing it somewhere where animals could consume it.

you have an old man of the woods and a younger russian man sitting around a campfire-- that would the perfect scene for a close-up at darzu, illuminated by the the small fire burning and reflecting off of his wrinkled and wise face while he tells a story of his youth, but that never happened

I think there was something similar when he told the story about his wife and kid dieing and him burning his house down, Otherwise i think life was rather uneventful for a siberian hunter like Dersu .Just daily survival in the endless wilderness.He also seemed to be clueless about his age and people like that are probably most of their time in the moment than dwelling in the past.

You probably watched the dubbed version? i did not like Dersus voice on that one,sound and voices on the original are way better i think.

I wasnt very excited about the ending either but thats how things went down irl.

Dersu Uzala (1975) Directed by: Kurosawa Akira

"Based on the work of the scientist and writer, famous traveler and explorer of the Far East Vladimir Arseniev. The story of his friendship with the guide Dersu Uzala with extraordinary personal qualities. Their journey through the taiga-forest, full of dangerous adventures, is the plot of the film, but the meaning of the story goes far beyond the plot ..."

Will put it on my list.
Kurosawa x Russian?

no, actually i watched the subtitled one.

I think in real life Dersu kinda spoke like that ,he wasnt fluent in russian.I havent read any Arsenyev's books so i dont know how Dersu spoke in real life.

thats not a problem at all. speaking broken russian didnt make him comical. his portrayal at times did. for example, mr miyagi of the karate kid-- he didnt speak perfect english but at no point was he silly. miyagi was the wise character type in which dersu should have been casted.

I wasnt very excited about the ending either but thats how things went down irl.

it needed more dramatization and was poorly written. no camera close ups on dersus face when he sat staring at the fire, the conversation between little captain (his son) and dersu was glossed over when it could have been far, far deeper full of dersus reflections of his time in the wild...
yeah, i definitely stand by the 6.8 rating.

I've just finished 1899 on Netflix. Great storyline, great acting, and a touch of sci-fi. I liked it. Now I browse around this site searching for new recommendations. Since I liked both 1899 and Dark shows, hope to find sth similar.

we have a ghost/come play
anyone else watch these movies yet?this one has Your typical
one ey3,6hand lots of red/blue colour of space etc..symbolism

what I S I thought when I watched them
with whag-promoting having that a ghost in Your house
is a great thing,that he's the hero,there's someone who looks
youngish mentioning her and the ghost had sex and she's now pregnant
others discussing if he's hot or not,an internet challenge of peoples
trying to walk through walls like a ghost would

it's so cool and helps Ya to get yt famous,lots of fans and news,
peoples following Ya around like a real "celebrity",it even has
peoples fighting over the ghosts rights as they're human rights

shows tptb Know these things are real,they have weapon,prisons
they have that can be used against these things(imHo)meaning
they could possibly control and make these things do what they
want them too(binding etc..)

how long do Y'all think til they say that they're real like with ufos
probably decades but could be sooner as I mentioned that one
iluminati card has stood out so presently the last few yrs to me
I don't think I'm the only one who feels that feeling

We've Seen a heavy amp up on all things considered"paranormal"
tptb have heavily promoted across main media sources that the
entities become stronger with more believing/interaction with them,
then they have more access to this world

cp-We See exactly like these movies etc.. show over again and again
that a digital screen(bmirror)of any kind puts a door/portal into Our World
given enough belief like with the kids/parents the thing on the other side
can gain enough power to come over to Ours

Children are the ones tptb go after because they're easier to get ,kinda
makes that aI post the other day with that kid even creepier eh,We've also
Seen things being made in mockery with things like shoes/sites/clubs etc...
asking for a signature for soul deals to get it,how many actually did

with nrec,prah etc...already feeding power to these things,they've told
and showed Us with their lil videos they put out that they're trying to open
doors/portals or have done so which is more of what I Believe for things to
come to Our World

I can See an even bigger increase in more trying to have more contact with
things unknown they shouldn't be messing with,sales and use of stupid not to
mention dangerous wigi board,tlucco interests will increase in until We have exactly
what that card says little door/portal everywhere that allows these things access to Us



if Your wanting to watch to be entertained both are good in that aspect

I just got finished watching this
the one lady looked like mummy musk so much
I actually looked it up to See if it was(it's not)

this is interesting cause I've mentioned before in
my OHm thread

how would Ya get the world to fall at the feet of a
antichrist even the non believers,Ya would have to
use the image of someone that's been ingrained as
a saviour to all that even the non believers would recognize
