Some 2,000 research fellows, grad­ uate students, and professionals in business and government each year work with the Center's international staff in cooperative study, training, and research. They examine major issues related to population, resources and development, the environment, culture, and communication in Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. The Center was established in 1960 by the United States Congress, which provides principal funding. Support also comes from more than twenty Asian and Pacific governments, as well as private agencies and corporations. Kurosawa's Ran: Reception and Interpretation ANN THOMPSON AKIRA KUROSAWA'S Ran (literally, war, riot, or chaos) was chosen as the first film to be shown at the First Tokyo International Film Festival in June 1985, and it opened commercially in Japan to record-breaking busi­ ness the next day. The director did not attend the festivities associated with the premiere, however, and the reception given to the film by Japa­ nese critics and reporters, though positive, was described by a French critic who had been deeply involved in the project as having "something of the air of an official embalming" (Raison 1985, 9).

In an effort to ease Mr. Chairman’s suspicions, Ikemoto asks fellow boss Otomo to do his dirty work for him by making a minor but obvious move against Murase.

The discovery of the metal beneath their feet is seen by most here as a disaster in the making, however, and they want no part of it. The Canadian company Au Martinique has other ideas. The company has announced it has obtained a new license to find and mine the stuff. Au Martinique president Paul Pitman said from his headquarters in Brampton, Ontario, that a rock- sampling program has been completed, and they are now about the business of working out details with another company, Intrepid Minerals Corporation, whereby Au Martinique Silver Inc. will have a 50% interest in all licenses. Au Martinique holds exploration licenses in several large tracts. One, of about 15 sq km, has been identified in a stream-sediment survey as having gold values of 3 grams per ton (3g/t), and two others, measuring 29.75 sq km and 15 sq km, have been acquired.

  • Confucian Philosophy in the Films of Akira Kurosawa Through the Documentary Film Medium
    Wu, Li-Hsueh Truth and Beauty: Confucian Philosophy in the Films of Akira Kurosawa Through the Documentary Film Medium Doctor of Design 2008 Swinburne Abstract This doctoral research consists of two 90 minute DVD documentaries and a complementary text about the Japanese film director, Akira Kurosawa, a major figure in 20th century cinema. It focuses on how the Confucian cultural heritage has informed many aspects of his approach to filmmaking, especially his manifestation of philosophical and aesthetic concepts. To bridge the gap in the existing critiques of Kurosawa’s films, the research incorporates critical analysis of interviews with twelve filmmakers and scholars in philosophy, history, arts, drama and film. The interviews discuss the aesthetic elements from traditional arts and theatre, and address a failure in the literature to draw from the deep meaning of the Confucian cultural heritage. The first documentary, An Exploration of Truth in the Films of Akira Kurosawa, has three sections: The Way of Self- Cultivation, The Way of Cultivating Tao and The Way of Cultivating Buddhism. It explores how the films of Kurosawa manifested the Confucian philosophy via inner self-cultivation, which displayed his humanist values. It also examines the ‘outer enlightenment pattern’ in Kurosawa’s films which effects profound dramatic tension. The interrelationship between Confucianism, Shinto and Buddhism in different periods of Kurosawa’s films is explored, focusing on issues of historical background, cultural heritage and philosophy and film narrative elements. The second documentary, The Origin and Renovation of Traditional Arts and I Theatre in the Films of Akira Kurosawa, has three sections: Structure and Mise-En-Scene from Noh and Kabuki, Representation and Symbolism from Noh Masks and Chinese Painting and Color and Mise-En-Scene from The ‘Five Elements’ Theory and Japanese Prints.
