Dude, I just realized, is your name a play on SΓΈren Kierkegaard?
Yep, it was supposed to be snoren, but I mistyped it.
That's so funny. I love Kierkegaard, you have an awesome name!
Hope you can find a better mattress to improve your sleep.
Haha thanks. Would guessing ikiru being the kurosawa film be too obvious?
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?
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.
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
