On the other hand there's films that appear in poems. The Denise Riley poem 'The Castalian Spring' contains this:
they bristled like movies
By Kurosawa.
In her ironic-explication of said poem in The Words of Selves / Swords of Elves, Riley says:
"There's a reference to the Japanese director Kurosawa in here, only because I happened to see a movie of his, 'Ran', based on the King Lear styory, which is so full of bristling arrows and lances and spears that the screen is frequently a mass of spiky diagonals. This jump-cut brings up an etiquette of private allusion: Suppose you have odd associations which your audience aren't necessarily going to catch, do you cut these out in the interests of intelligibility or accessibility? Here I let Kurosawa and his bristling arrows stand, not because of their weight but because of their slightness in their context; it makes no difference if you miss them, and if you don't, they might entertain you by recalling the movie."
