Idk why I always wake up with either my sides or neck or smth hurting when I wake up but that didn't happen while I stayed at a hotel. It's not like I'm an old broken man who should be waking up expecting this.

Haha thanks. Would guessing ikiru being the kurosawa film be too obvious?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It is obvious, but that's exactly where I got it from. Haha

I love the film and it made me learn and appreciate the word, but I also love the word used in this way as a kind of homage to living, or existence itself, and a nod to existentialism and phenomenology.

Thats cool! I love Ikiru too, the first half especially.

Have you by any chance read The death if Ivan Ilyich by Tolstoy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The first half?! I should probably rewatch it in case I'm forgetting something but I think I love life-affirmation of the second half. Not trying to judge but the first half is so depressing. Haha What do you love about it?

But, no, I haven't read it, unfortunately. I know Ikiru is based off it though, right? I still see Ikiru as a kind of Christ story.

Perhaps it has to do with the time I saw the movie but that depressing half was exactly what I needed. And yeah its very loosely based of off that book.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I get that. I need that sometimes, too.

Most of the films I own and like are depressing as shit so I don't even know why I reacted like that. Haha
