A little short of irony

Although it is compulsory to seek meaning within something, almost always finding that we discover meaning in everything, I will try to refrain and instead delineate on the beauty of the replication. Furthermore, to understand something is to grasp a meaning, and this meaning can take the form of anything coherent to us. This short is excerpted from a film about a series of dreams from Akira Kurosawa (real of fabricated). I feel that if these were indeed real dreams they would be an exception to "everything having meaning" for dreams are authored in a language that is unique to the sleeping mind that experienced it. That being said, let us go on to the form then.

I would be hard pressed to offer anything other than a few words to express why this short was arrestingly immersive lest I go on a descriptive musing that will last and last and last.

What is of the irony in this short, that I inferred with the title, is that we are seeing paintings replicated in real life (as displayed by the film itself) that are not paintings (as spoken by the film's Van Gogh--and yes that is Martin Scorsese). In the film we are within the world of the man who painted these, as he saw him, not as we do. Yes, we see the paintings in the film, but these are from the perspective of how Van Gogh himself painted them. So the film seems to be ironic in that we should not be thinking of these highly saturated and stylized portraits as "looking like a painting", even though that is what the whole essence plays off of, but rather "that is how Van Gogh saw life, so he painted it and thus it is a painting".
