Akira Kurosawa and simplicity

This post is a collection of quotes from Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa (1910-1998). There are 2 quotes listed below.

1. "A film should appeal to the sophisticated, profound-thinking people while at the same time entertaining simplistic people. A truly good movie is interesting and easy to understand." (Quoted in The Secret History of Star Wars, Michael Kamiski)

2. "I like silent pictures and I always have. They are often so much more beautiful than sound pictures are. Perhaps they had to be. At any rate I wanted to restore some of this beauty. I thought of it, I remember in this way: one of techniques of modern art is simplification, and I must therefore simplify this film." (Quoted in The Films of Akira Kurosawa, Donald Ritchie)
