Flat-out Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (22 February 2001)

One of the truly finest grand operas of the silver screen and all of history itself.
Spectacle is not reduced to simple violence. There is great emotion and depth of purpose behind each battle. The battle is for survival, the human spirit. How can a spear win over a gun?
Color, majesty, conflict, imagination, unmatched composition, genius.
The face of the imposter, no words spoken, is one of the greatest achievements in acting history. So very much said. Words pale.
[One wish: One day they will invent SUBTITLES that are NOT superimposed on the image, but placed somewhere directly below the frame. Maybe with the advent of Wide Screen TVs, this might develop one day.
I say THIS because EACH FRAME of this movie, is a work of art, a masterpiece of cinema. We should not be subjected to have these works tainted by the mere reason of own language differences.]
ALL THAT SAID: Thank you, Akira. For bringing us your genius and for respecting the intelligence of your audiences.
Is there a score possible over a "10"?
