"The improvisation at the heart of every raga is therefore never an end in itself but always aimed at the depth of one's inner self, and this makes it one of the substantial differences compared to jazz." Well, it depends on which jazz you listen to. Archie Shepp, Albert Ayler, Eric Dolphy, and at least 50 other jazz artists do the opposite of what you said. This morning the link finally works, what the heck!

So we start from two completely different situations. Dersu is part of that environment, he doesn't have to make any radical and reckless choices, and it's progress that comes to him. In Into The Wild, the boy escapes from a bourgeois existence, from a "well-integrated" family to be part of the untouched: it's him who confronts a world devoid of civilization. These are two different starting points. Kurosawa tells the story of a reality that is dying out, and I've always seen the film as a clear critique of progress and anthropization (not just this), making it clear that there’s no escaping progress, and there is no salvation. If some more informed cinephile from Debaser says otherwise, I trust them.

I have a very old VHS tape; I've seen it 6-7 times as a kid. I agree with supersoul, the ultimate purpose of the film is to denounce the defeat of modernity. Dersu is the untouched human being, he dies pure. I don't understand the analogy with "Into the Wild," the protagonist has a completely different story and character. Dersu is in those places because that is his environment, while in "Into..." the protagonist is fleeing from a corrupted environment to find himself, but he remains an alien body in the context. In short, the only similarity would be the wild side. And then the phrase "A choice not far from suicide" doesn't convince me.

As far as I understand, it's better to start with Relationships that give me a sense of Command. And I hope they don't resemble Mars Volta, who for me are homeopathic substitutes for Valium.
