"Ikiru" isn't just a film; it's a contemplative journey that digs deep into
life's core. Kurosawa's masterpiece follows Kanji Watanabe, a man facing his mortality, weaving a tale that resonates with existential truths. Takashi Shimura's portrayal is hauntingly poignant, capturing the essence of a man awakening to life's fleeting beauty. The film's deliberate pacing and introspective narrative mirror the complexities of the human condition, urging viewers to ponder their own existence and the legacy they wish to leave behind.
Reminded me of “Anand” both movies employ a narrative that focuses on the emotional and philosophical aspects of life rather than the illness itself. They showcase how the protagonists, facing their limited time, strive to make a difference in the lives of others and find meaning and fulfillment in their final moments.

MAN OF CINEMA
Kanji Watanabe is a sad man in his 70/80s who never enjoyed his life fully,
never lived it. All he did in his life was to sit in an old public affairs office surrounded by piles
