An overwhelming human drama that will shake your soul, created by the master artist Iñárritu.

I apologize for the personal matter, but only once in my life have I been "waiting" for a movie star. The 2000 Tokyo International Film Festival will never be forgotten. I was so dazzled by the shocking film ``Amores Perros'' that was shown there that I could barely get out of my seat even after the screening and stage greetings were over. Even after I was finally able to stand up, I continued to stay in front of the venue, wanting to soak in the afterglow.

Meanwhile, the door to those involved opened. The director and the lead actor who had just stood on stage were there. It would have been fine if I had rushed after him and passionately conveyed my impressions in my best English, but in reality, when I saw Alejandro González Iñárritu up close, he had an overwhelming aura, or should I say, humanity. It was so powerful that I honestly flinched. Taking advantage of that opportunity, he quickly left, and perhaps feeling sorry for the scene, only the lead actor, Emilio Echevarria, stopped to speak with a gentle smile, the complete opposite of his role as a hitman in the movie. They exchanged it.

I'm probably not the only one. How many people in the audience at that time were trembling with excitement and exclaiming, ``This new director will become something incredible in the near future!'' And that's exactly what happened. Each time Iñárritu releases a new work, he attracts more attention, and Hollywood actors begin to ignore the performance fee and send love calls saying, ``I want to be in it!''

As a result, he released `` Birdman or (The Unexpected Miracle of Ignorance)' ' in 2014, which won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. 2015's ``The Revenant'' did not win Best Picture, but it also became a hot topic as Iñárritu won Best Director for the second year in a row, and Leonardo DiCaprio won Best Actor for the first time in his career. .

However, these awards are just results. I don't think there was even a single work that was easy for him to aim for an award. Making a film is also a ``cry of the soul'' that pries open raw wounds and exposes everything about oneself. This fact becomes painfully clear when you look at each piece Inarritu carves. Delicacy and subtle expressiveness won't do anything. It is because of his unapproachable human power that he was able to transcend all anger, sadness, and despair and create such an overwhelming human drama.

Behind the birth of this masterpiece was the death of his son and the support of his family.
