"There's 70 million dollars in funding totally there, but it would have to wait a year and a half and we'd have to go to Germany for a long time. Nothing wrong with Germany, but it's so far in advance, and by then, literally, he could get two more movies [and] I could get a movie or do a TV show. People just don't really understand that usually you have about 20 different things going on at once, hoping one sticks."

one nation



via
my nation, one nation. i'll cite below.

--

My Nation / written by shing02

Welcome to my nation where I'm the King and the President
Prime Minister to administer daily politics

Do you know what my vision is? That everybody realizes that division is
Capable of having positive answers if you got a fraction with a strong denominator
Do you know what my vision is? That everybody (soul) realizes that division is
Capable of having positive outcomes if you are the fraction with a strong denominator
We are the nominators of equality, no matter what denomination, race, creed or political belief
Communication is the critical relief for solving situations suffering from separation
Millions lost in dominions, go back to the sovereign land for reunion
The fact is we are one despite unique opinions
When you discover the roots and peel skins like an onion
The Most High, all praises (love) to the sky perpendicular
Force connect to express the molecular resonance with the universal creative spectacular!

Daily trivial persuit of truth through fruit loops inifinite
Knowledge is the definite key to the path to defeat past deficits
Positive benefits magnificent!

Kurosawa, who is a professor of Tokyo university of the arts' film school, holds big influence to his students as to film themes or styles. he tends to direct by not editing or cutting a lot within scenes but shooting as actors act. it leads films to express a natural behavior of actors. but his works bring me with attracting emotion during entire screening. god of film, he knows, we could say.
