I'm starting this thread for the permies movie night on Aug 19th, 2022, where permies users voted to watch Akira Kurosawa's 1975's Oscar-winning film Dersu Uzala. At time of posting, the feature film is availabe via the youtbe link embedded below. In perpetuity, maybe the discussion in this thread will live on as a resource for permies for years to come!
Pop some popcorn, have a watch, let us know how it struck you. Enjoy . . .
Here's what youtube says about the film:
Based on the work of the scientist and writer, famous traveler and explorer of the Far East V. Arseniev. The story of his friendship with the guide Dersu Uzala with extraordinary personal qualities. Their journey through the taiga-forest, full of dangerous adventures, is the plot of the film, but the meaning of the story goes far beyond the plot: it's a story about the brotherhood of people, that we are all children of the same land.
