One Word...Stunning

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2018)

On a purely visual level,without accounting for characters or plot, this is one of the best movies I've seen. This movie's cinematography forces the viewer to view humanity's destructive behavior against the backdrop of the stunning beauty of nature. I can't stress enough how much the cinematography in this movie affected me.
Beyond the cinematography, I don't know what to make of this film. It's unlike any war movie I've ever seen. This movie has a good amount of action and tense scenes, but mixed with those scenes are characters giving poetic voice overs. To put it simply, this is a very disorienting film filled with many characters giving poetic and philosophical monologues, and it is probably the first war movie I've seen that is more concerned with the intellectual and philosophical side of war instead of the brutal spectacle. I'm not going to give this movie a score because I need to re watch it to better understand how I feel about it.
