Reaction Paper: Akiro Kurosawa's Dreams Village of the Watermills”

A young man enters a small village and meet an old man fixing his windmill wheel. The young
man asks the old man, what's the name of the village, then the old man informs the young man simply,
"We call it THE VILLAGE, some people call it WATERMILL VILLAGE". They continue their conversations.
The young man asked, "There's no electricity here?" The old man answered, "Don't need it. People get
too used to convenience. They think convenience is better. They throw what's really good." The old man
also explains how the people living in the village live the way a man used to, the natural way. He also
said that people today have forgotten that they are just part of nature. Yet, they destroy nature on
which our life depends. People always think that they are smart, especially the scientists. The old man
also added that they (the scientists) may be smart, but most don't understand the heart of nature. He
also mentions what's worse is that people worship the inventions as if they are miracles. That, we are
losing nature and don't see that they're going to perish.

My reaction on the video about the casts is that the young man was curious about the
surroundings he was into as he observes then the old man was a little bit angry although he explained
the way people in the village lives using the traditional way. And also how people nowadays worship the
inventions scientists have made without knowing that we are losing the nature and we're the that's
going to suffer in the very end.

I conclude, I would strongly recommend Akiro Kurosawa's Dream Village of the Watermills to us,
the people, that, nature is the most important in our lives than all of those experiments scientists have
made. We must protect and conserve the nature before it's too late.
