Educational

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2017)

Being a non-believer myself i found it a tough watch yet very educational. I myself like the Japanese believe in the natural world and the pure physics/science of this whole planet and universe. To be so loyal to a belief from for-fathers is something in my own mind i respect but can not tolerate.the barbaric lengths humans would go too to deny others their beliefs is totally wrong. To believe in something with no reward or proof or to dedicate a life to higher presence is beyond my comprehension.certain elements of this movie gave me a sort of blind leading the blind viewpoint. Such a well acted and written story with very good screenplay and understanding of a certain eastern toleration of faith was very educational. I didn't expect this from martin Scorsese. If your interested in learning and culture or have a belief in Christianity or Buddha this movie should be a good watch for you. It was long winded but in my eyes needed to be. A very well crafted movie where halfway through i could have sworn i was watching something made from a whole different decade,its not going to be everybody's choice of film but never the less should be taken for what it is once viewed.
