True, and any honest poet would think the same.
It reminds me of when Akira Kurosawa received his lifetime Oscar in 1990, and in his acceptance speech said, "I am very deeply honored to receive such a wonderful prize, but I have to ask whether I really deserve it. I'm a little worried, because I don't feel that I understand cinema yet. I really don't feel that I have yet grasped the essence of cinema. Cinema is a marvelous thing, but to grasp its true essence is very, very difficult. But what I promise you is that from now on I will work as hard as I can at making movies and maybe by following this path I will achieve an understanding of the true essence of cinema and earn this award."
Thank you! Going to look into Akira Kurosawa movies.
Watching clips on IMDb.
‘Ran’ is basically a re-telling of ‘King Lear.’
But, so was ‘A Thousand Acres’ (perennial favorite!) by Jane Smiley which won the Pulitzer.
Shouldn’t Shakespeare be getting royalties on his stories? ;)
Looks interesting, either way. Again, Thanks. :)
