  • Quotes
    [on Akira Kurosawa and Ishirō Honda] There are two types of people in Tohoku. One is like Kurosawa. He's the type who challenges the natural order. On the other hand, Honda fits himself into the natural order. That's why Kurosawa's films are always about battles, relationships, love, human feelings and so on, but what Honda wants to show in his movies is harmony in the relationship between nature and man.
