Dreams
I mean what a film. It is the best visual film ever. If I ever have some extra money laying around I might rent out Lincoln Square IMAX for a night to see this masterpiece on the big screen. Akira crafting this at 80 years old means so much and the social commentaries and general commentaries on life are just so valuable. Perfection in filmmaking.
While I could make a case for EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE to be first, this is my initial ranking of each of the dreams.
1. The Tunnel
2. The Weeping Demon
3. Crows
4. The Blizzard
5. The Peach Orchard
6. Village of the Water Mills
7. Sunshine Through the Rain
8. Mount Fuji in Red
