"I don't feel I deserve this. I don't feel that I understand cinema. To grasp the true essence of cinema is very very difficult."
This is why Akira Kurosawa remained a step above the others. He was very sincere in terms of what he said. He was always a student of cinema -- always with eyes open, ears listening, always wanting to learn more, always listening to the magic of cinema, and never content with saying "enough -- I know all I need to know." That is why he was great.
