Message of beauty

Rating: 8/10 (23 August 2005)

The movie gives a solar message of beauty. Cruelty and death are always perfectly commented and continuously smoothly canceled as deep footprints on the shoreline. Love and positive humanity are the guidelines neither less cruel nature seems to work against.
Nature competitive sides of wind, water and fire are continuously present.
I consider the movie epic nearly as Der Himmel uber Berlin of Wenders.
Some time it can seem a little bit too long and probably some cuts in the second part would give more dynamic.
James Caviezel is surely at the center of the movie. Sean Penn is appreciable but not at the same level.
I do not understand the importance given to Clooney that plays for seconds.
