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: Silent Running . This is a little cheesey but, the movie is a classic. It's a rather touching movie if you focus on the plot

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: Based on real-life . The title of this movie refers to the widow Mrs. Henderson, a rich member of England's upper crust at the beginning of WWII. Having lost a husband years earlier, and a son to WWI, she needs something to do, and so buys the Windmill Theater in London. Pouring her money into it and pulling some political strings, she turns it into a first class theater that runs shows with young, beautiful, nude women in it. Her aim, to entertain young English lads before they are sent of to war. This she does, but various tragedies strike along the way, such as one of her "actresses" getting pregnant by a married soldier. This DVD set includes several features, one of which is the story of the real theater and interviews with actual actresses who worked there. Yes, this movie is based on real-life events and people, and it seems the producers went out of the way to make the movie as historically true as possible. All in all, this movie is a great combination of history, tragedy, and comedy, and worth watching

SOLUTION:
POS
