Resumo
Enquanto um ser sobrenatural fia numa roca uma linha transparente e frágil, um poderoso samurai, com um punho cerrado sobre sua espada, percebe que seu destino está sendo desenrolado e partir-se-á como os fios de uma teia de aranha. Outro samurai, não tão jovem, mas com a espada em riste, derrama seu sangue em terra familiar. Um menino e uma menina vestem máscaras demoníacas para sobreviver em um mundo que não admite doçura. São esses alguns dos personagens e dos temas presentes na obra de Akira Kurosawa, motivos sinistros e dolorosos demais para serem tocados pela mente comum, mas que são tomados corajosamente pelo gênio brilhante e sensível, que transforma tudo em beleza e arte. O objetivo deste ensaio é comentar o casamento da beleza e do sofrimento em seus filmes, onde também comparecem os seguintes convidados: a vida do próprio diretor, a literatura que o influenciou, a pintura e a música que admirou e que inseriu em seus filmes e, como parte essencial de qualquer trabalho científico, como Fritjoff Capra disse em O Tao da Física, minha vida também comparece aqui, como é inevitável, já que sou eu o fotógrafo deste casamento.
While a white phantom of old-man or woman devily spins a translucent and frail thread on a distaff, a powerful samurai, with a fist strongly shut upon his sword, realizes that his destiny is being unwrapped there, and knows that will be torn as easily as a thread of a spider-web. Another samurai, not so young, but with his sword still ready, suffers the bleeding of his life in the land of his owns. A boy and a girl have to dress masks of demons in order to survive in a world that doesnþt allow sweetness at all. These are some of the characters and themes often found in the works of Akira Kurosawa; sinister and painful motives, usually refused by common peopleþs minds, but courageously taken by the brilliant and sensitive genius, who turns everything of these into art and beauty. This is what we search in this essay: the wedding of beauty and suffering in his movies, where it comes too the following guests: his own life, the books he read, the paintings he admired, the music he liked to put on his films, and, as an essential part of a scientific work, like Fritjoff Capra said in The Tao of Phisics, here comes my life too, as it is inevitable, being a photographer of this wedding as I am.
