cosmic exploration of the base instincts of the human male

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2001)

I understand that a large portion of the audience viewing this film thinks that it has something to do with fighting. It does not. Fighting is a device the movie uses to explore deep truths about the male animal, his basic nature, his need for leadership, in whatever form it takes, and the power of the individual to create a unique reality for himself and any disciples that happen along. (and there are always plenty.
There is an unnerving and half realized terror rearing it's head in America today. We have real, concrete choices to make if we just had the nerve to admit the truth and take the chances. This films pushes the point to excess. Live it small or live it large. It's each of our choices. Given a lot of intelligence, some serious personality skills, and just enough psychosis to make it interesting, we can all be our own god.
A visually inspired, almost perfect film, but you can't really know this unless you've seen it at least twice.
