hotly anticipated and relevant!!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2007)

Having only seen the trailer for this film on an excursion to see "no country for old men", i bear intense anticipation for this film, and it's analogous relevance. An all-American, conservative, free-market oil-barren at odds with a religious figure seems all-too-relevant today, especially considering the fact that - in my understanding - neither comes out the winner.
The film - quite intelligently - forms it's stance on one side of a political argument, strategically more powerful, relevant and intrinsically more affecting here than within any stale form of two-sided, played-out, democrat vs. republican narrative, as is most common in a plot such as this. It is this that provides an unpolitical guise, while continuing to lend insight into the negative results of a culture that exists primarily on a take-what-one-can mentality.
I truly cannot wait to see what happens, and i am quite pleased to have an advanced screening pass. The plot-line and development seems confidently complex and critical, and will hopefully have every side asking questions at film's end.
One only has to view the trailer to see that this FILM is amongst the most brilliantly constructed testaments within the u.s.-based industry in the past number of years. The sheerly chilling beauty in the pairing of the ice-y, stalking music to the absolutely beautiful, equally chilling imagery lends credence to the impact that the film ought to have.
if nothing else, the film will look great. If as visually impactful as it appears, it should transcend the conscious presence of political narrative and rhetoric, and deeply affect the viewer as to the complexities of the ruling, powerful class that arose in the united states within the focused time period. This - through the observance of other reviews - seems to have been achieved.
A true GOLDEN EAGLE, if you will, of American film, as it appears. to hell with Scorsese and his hinderingly vague nouvelle appropriations.
on a scale of 1 to APOCALYPTO, this movie will surely be at least a 27.
