    The painter was really sweet. From the way he looked really excited to listen to James when he called him and how he got all happy about his Haiku. Really nice.

    This is a legendary moment for James, small yet sublime in its meaning. I hope Sakurai-san (who was NOT introduced and that was a bit rood tbh) could understand or was provided an accurate translation of James's thoughts and the ensuing "bus in the back of the shot" debate.

      @@roejogan9517 they don't interfere with the animals of course, but they do decide on what they want to show us as the audience. For example, a lot of the attire docs from the BBC are faked, made in studios etc, if they can't find an animal theyve been tracking for months, last resort is to hire one and so on. The role of the director and camera operators isn't simply to film and hit the record button. Its to tell a convincing story

    I'm an architecture student see, and i sketch as a hobby, but I channel the "soul" of the art through details, but sometimes I make things bigger and/or disappear to enhance my point. I completely agree with James' argument there about the art as interpretation and the world as the deciphered. dr. James May, the never uninteresting uninteresting man.

    As a viewer, I didn't mind the bus at all. As James said, it's part of life. As a viewer from another country, watching what happens in real life in Japan is interesting to watch. Even though we also have buses here in the States, Japan's is bright yellow, therefore it's different than what we have, thus it's interesting. Isn't that part of the show, to show the viewers interesting things about Japan?

    I love the guy, genuinely, but I always thought it was a bit hurtful that James would belittle the work of his crew, professional filmmakers and photographers that they are. It's not just about pointing the camera in a certain direction and pressing a button, it's about capturing the absolute most perfect moment and presenting a record of it to others, others who might not have been there to witness it with you. It's a beautiful thing that we can do that these days and it's art in its own way, much like drawing/painting/writing are all forms of art in their own respect. He loves haikus but can't see that photography is art? Strangely narrow-minded of him.

    • @BonJovi022110
      @BonJovi022110 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      He didn't say that. He appreciated it was a type of art but the meaning is utterly different. Photography absolutely is a capture of the moment. And art is is from the soul.
      I say that as a photographer.
