I have again reached our burrow. I like the weekly sojourn, even given all the missed opportunities, having definitely developed as a person, grown from the challenges and hardships that have occurred since January - the same time-period in which the book takes place. He meets his love again (their first time apart was for a few months, after she went away while “Blue Skies” was playing) on February 20th, each of them having changed.

I love you Sam. Just to look into your eyes over tea, the understanding we share. I did not respect what I, what we, had. Should we meet again, our relationship would become so much stronger from this time of absence and reflection. My entire outlook on life has changed.

Come with me to Portugal? Or, barring that, join me for tea? Perhaps you’re already in the Adirondacks with your parents - I know that was happening in May. They said they were looking forward to seeing me then last December.

I was a damned fool. I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. I am just down the street, keeping the flowers you brought me alive. Wherever I dwell, you are welcome. Please visit.

Love is an overgrown knot garden, its roots extending over and under, weaving through any walls which once sought to contain it. 11:47PM

There is a reason the picturesque garden first arose in Great Britain, at the specific historical moment when it did. 11:51PM

Likewise, people like me exist because there are people like you; and people like you exist because there are people like me. I get carried away constructing worlds. You question, analyze, and help us build the best world from these endlessly variable potential realities. The realities I spark, for better or worse (and, before the break up, from my {now managed} stress response to a series of chaotic and absurd contingencies, for the worse), you question, revise, or complete. You complete me. We can still build a beautiful future together. I love you. 12:02AM

After Kagemusha won the [Palme d’Or at the 1980] Cannes International Film Festival, until 1982, Kurosawa traveled extensively in Europe and the United States, meeting filmmakers everywhere he went and being warmly welcomed. While he was staying in New York’s Plaza Hotel, he received many surprise visitors, including film greats Jean-Luc Godard, John Milius, Werner Herzog, and Martin Scorsese.

The combination of Godard and Kurosawa was unusual. Probably he was invited along by Milius and went out of curiosity. Producer Tom Luddy might have come with them as well.

We had heard that Milius was a Kurosawa fan, and Kurosawa also had good things to say about his The Wind and the Lion. Milius asked Kurosawa to teach him the martial art of kendo, or Japanese fencing, and did Mifune impersonations, but Godard only sat looking on, smiling, and never spoke to Kurosawa.

Another unusual visitor was the German director Werner Herzog, whose name was then unfamiliar to Kurosawa. There was a book he wanted to give Kurosawa, said Herzog, but he hadn’t been able to find it in the book store and he had a plane to catch, so he had just dropped by to pay his respects. Then the next day, I think it was, he made a special trip to hand-deliver the book—having gone to the trouble of altering his flight reservations to do so. I believe it was a book of drawings. In any case, Kurosawa found this gesture deeply moving.

Later, in Japan, Kurosawa took the first opportunity to go see Herzog’s Fitzcarraldo and was overwhelmed by its tenacious energy.
