Excellent film

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 2000)

The film questions the destruction of our world, our humanity and the effects the war has on soldiers.
The film's methodical approach is rather interesting. Look at the beauty that nature has given us, yet we decide to fight and kill our own existence. The film offers a lot, but you must be prepared to watch and listen. The film will reward you if you give it a chance, and I doubt very much that you'll understand it in the first viewing. Give it 2 or 3 chances. I've yet to understand all of the picture but I do think that the director wanted us to distinguish humanity and horror.
The direction is stunning as is the photography. The jungle looks alive. It's one of the best looking pictures in recent years, amazing!
The performances are excellent.
The film doesn't have a strong plot, it's very poetic. There are flaws, I didn't think the picture featured a strong core and the screenplay could've been stronger in parts.
Overall, a fascinating picture which requires a lot of attention.
