Akira Kurosawa was a Japanese filmmaker and screenwriter who wrote and directed thirty films in a career spanning over five decades. He is regarded as one of the most important and influential filmmakers in film history. Akira Kurosawa directed approximately one film per year throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, including a number of highly regarded (and often adapted) films, such as Ikiru (1952), Seven Samurai (1954) and Yojimbo (1961).

0:00 - Intro

1:54 - For writers, the most essential thing is the forbearance to face the dull task of writing one word at a time.

3:18 - Choosing what film to make is like sowing seeds - depending on the time and social situation, some seeds sprout all of a sudden. You can’t force them.

3:54 - Making films costs a lot of money, but all you need for writing a screenplay is a pen and paper.

4:30 - The theme alone doesn’t explain all the sensitive details of human feelings. So stating the aim or message of the movie before making it would work against that.

5:27 - When you’re climbing mountains, the first thing you’re told is not to look at the peak. Writing is the same - start at the bottom and put one foot in front of the other.

6:02 - Pay attention to the details. The audience might not notice everything, but they will feel it.

8:15 - Creating comes from memory. You can’t create something out of nothing. Form memories from things you experience or read about.

9:12 - Always think of your next project as the one people will remember you by.

9:48 - When you write, write all the way. If you give up once, giving up will become a habit.

11:20 - Adapt characters, plot and dialogue from real life.
