Japanese Perfection
Watched The Ramen Girl again today – in it’s entirety. The last I watched, I probably missed the beginning scenes. Anyway, it seems more evident, that there is something uniquely tranquil and mystical about the Japanese way of doing things. Maybe its got something to do with the tension of environments they are forced into – the hustle and bustle of urban modernity meets/versus solitary nature, green, zen, soul.
Spoke to a friend or two about my fascination with Hakagure – The Art of the Samurai. The artistry is oh so… meaningful. The mind wonders about this pursuit of perfection = pursuit of meaning to life.
I am also reminded of Departures – the movie. Meaning of life found, in the ceremonial preparation of the dead – for those that are mourning.
Then some days earlier, I watched Paris, Je T’aime – this film, is about finding love.
Profound, all these films are.
