After exploring all of his films and much about his life is when I really came to a complete understanding of this film. Akira Kurosawa's Dreams is a compilation of magical and dark, hopeful and hopeless, beautiful and terrible stories where the focus is always on the human being.
The key factors of Kurosawa's feature films are always the exploration of his characters, his thoughts and his ideals and everything is perfectly developed in this work, one of his last films.
Dreams shows the director's vision of humanity through dream worlds and nightmare worlds. The curiosity and nature in the eyes of a child and its innocence, the will and superstition in men on the snowy mountain, the cruelty of war and guilt in the tunnel, the exploration of art in Van Gogh's crows , the greed and mistakes that citizens pay for in the nuclear error, the survival of the fittest with the ogres and finally the celebration of life and death in the town of water mills.
Dreams is one of Akira Kurosawa's most important, most underrated and little understood works. A celebration of human beings and art.
