Kazuo Ishiguro on his new novel, The Buried Giant

[@dianewalker9154]

We should never forget. Our past is what formed us in the present. We learn more from failures than we do from successes. Knowing all of our history is important.

Frighteningly appropriate for 2020.

PLEASE GET RID OF THE INTRUSIVE DISTRACTING MOOD ALTERING SOUNDSCORE THAT ACCOMPANIES THIS FINE TALK!

+LANCE CENTER Yes!

you're right. the rhythm doesn't match the speaker's cadence.

[@katnap1326]

Society can move on from its past when it recognizes the consequences of its past actions and seek restitution if warranted. Germany did so with their past. Japan has yet to admit to their past war sins against asian countries (Korea, China, Phillipines etc). The last of Korean Comfort Woman still awaits Japan's apology.

***** WTF does that have to do with this?

[@gimmeheadpeace]

***** I agree! Is this the place to call for an apology; definitely not!

@@MikeRoberts1964 @MikeRoberts1964 Ishiguro, verbatim, says in this video: " I've also been very interested in the parallel question, which is: how do societies, how do nations, how do communities remember and forget? When is it better for a society to leave its troubled past behind and move on? And when is it better to look back and face some deeply disturbing things that a community or country has done in the past?" So yeah, I'd say it's directly relevant to what Ishiguro was talking about. If a comment section, albeit a small one such as this, is a place for discussion of the video it is attached to, then how is this not, by definition, what a comment section is made for?
