Divine Sadness Over Human Destruction in Ran
Quotes about Ran What I was trying to get at in Ran, and this was there from the script stage, was that the gods or God or whoever it is observing human events is feeling sadness about how human beings destroy each other, and powerlessness to affect human beings behavior.

Ran
The Cost of Betrayal and Loyalty
Hidetora What madness have I spoken? Wherein lies my senility?
Saburo I'll tell you. What kind of world do we live in? One barren of loyalty and feeling.
Hidetora I'm aware of that.
Saburo So you should be! You spilled an ocean of blood. You showed no mercy, no pity. We too are children of this age... weaned on strife and chaos. We are your sons, yet you count on our fidelity. In my eyes, that makes you a fool. A senile old fool!

Questioning Divine Indifference in Human Suffering
Kyoami Are there no gods... no Buddha? If you exist, hear me. You are mischievous and cruel! Are you so bored up there you must crush us like ants? Is it such fun to see men weep?
Tango Enough! Do not blaspheme! It is the gods who weep. They see us killing each other over and over since time began. They can't save us from ourselves.
