It really is remarkable how two giants of the industry lost so much so quickly.

I’m hoping Bluesky does join the fediverse just so I don’t have to jump between apps. Lemmy has been great, but people don’t comment as much. I miss that

Yeah the problem with pioneers is that everyone copies them. Even still, I found Rashomon engaging on its own merits. It even felt kind of like a silent film at times despite all the dialogue and music–probably because of how it studied its faces. Not entirely sure my wife did, but she doesn’t nerd out like me.

Seven Samurai and The Hidden Fortress are on my list for next to watch. I know Hidden Fortress influenced Star wars, so I’m excited for how many things feel old hat.

Listening to the four accountings in Rashomon made me feel like a reporter. There were convergences and divergences, but clearly they were responding to a real event. There’s a story going on, and yet everyone is also all liars. I loved it.
