i like the message of this film

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2003)

stanley kubrick's films remind me on cartoons a little. probably because characters are similar in both and both have beautiful/different images and both break the rules in a way.
i think that main message of this film is that people have allways rivaled/competed/quarrelled with each other and allways will and that this is by far the main goal or purpose of their lives and they find it most important thing. i think today it is still the same. but when 100 years or so pass these things (money, social status, pride, comfort, to be better than other people, to be recognized by other people, etc) which were so important then to those people aren't important anymore. what's important are the things those people did that are still important to people living today, or that people living today and in the future will have some use of: science, films, music etc.
i also like very much characters which are very calm and rarely show any excitement or emotions.
i like epilogue of the film the most:
"It was in the reign of George III that the aforesaid personages lived and quarrelled; good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor they are all equal now."
9/10
