Be Still My Heart!

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2001)

Ridley Scott is a genius! I held on to my heart from the beginning to the end of the three hours, and felt for the first time in my life that I have even come close to experiencing war. No other films I have ever seen even comes close to capturing war without the fantasy features. The entire theatre was spellbound, horrified, and amazed. At the end the audience had been through the military action with them, and clapped at the end of the film. This film is another remarkable world created by the genius of Ridley Scott, it does not rely on any one actor, and is the profound magic, creativity and brillance of the most remarkable film-maker of vision, and creation of worlds than anyone else in cinema. I would see this man's vision of anything. He is worthy of an Oscar for best director, without question. My only thought is how long can the Academy continue to ignore this genius. I hope it doesn't this time around. I pray not.
