What makes a good film??

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2004)

After seeing this movie, I asked myself: "What makes a good film?", and if the answer is "the amount of tears rolling down your cheeks", then this is the best film ever!
I don't care that the portrayal of the samurai is a bit black/white (really good guys VS really bad guys), and I don't care that Tom Cruise, ultimately plays the role of "Tom Cruise". 15 minutes into the film, my eyes filled up slightly, and I kept on feeling like that all the way until the end. I loved it! It was painful! I cried many times! I left the cinema wanting to be a better person! Maybe someday I'll also find "peace"
12 out of 10!
