(I think, for example, of one of my favorite movies, "Jeremiah Johnson,' in which the central character tries to build a fire under a snow-laden evergreen only to have the snow fall and smother the fire.

I had neither heard of nor ever ...cool commentary. I had neither heard of nor ever seen this movie, and I have seen much Kurosawa. I'm<br />going to research the title.
