PROBLEM: a telling picture of the future . This movie came out the same year that the Supreme Court gave us abortion on demand via Roe v. Wade.  How ironic is that?  We are living in these days to a certain degree already.  This film is disturbing on many levels because of it's impending reality.  I highly recommend it as a wake up call.

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: Okay . I agree with David Thomson when he says few audiences in the West would be content to view an American epic composed solely of battles and their contexts. Kurosawa was a keen businessman and his reputation in the West was entrenched with "Kagemusha" and "Ran", he knew what (American) audiences think of as heroic and mystical about "historical" Japan: Kurosawa's art takes a great deal on its impetus from what Americans (or Westerners) imagine about Japan. He was not popular in Japan (where they thought his stuff was particularly hokey and outmoded, hence the suicide attempt). I am not saying that the work is rubbish - there is no "ugly" shot in either "Ran" or "Kag" - merely that there are more "authentically Japanese" films out there to choose from.

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: Historical value, but poor image quality . It's very nice to go back to those exciting years with this DVD, but they could have done a better job with the image digitalization. There is much better image quality bootleg DVD's out there with virtually the same content. I think fans deserve the best for the money they spend and unfortunately, this is not the case.

SOLUTION:
NEG
