Going against most of you

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2001)

The cinematography is an academy award winner! The direction was superior. Since people in those days were supposed to express minimal emotion these actors fulfilled that requirement beautifully. But with expressionless faces how can one tell honestly whether any of the actors were outstanding except for the young girl. The entire story could have been told in less than one minute. How much fighting is necessary until one has had enough? 7.2/10 in this viewer's opinion.
Being the cynic that I am, I wonder what the viewing audience would have thought had the critics not given this movie rave reviews.
