 | "Being alone in a world with no space" | 2008-07-09 |
This film is a masterpiece. I will not pretend to analyze its deeper meanings, but if you've ever felt alone in a crowded room full of people you don't understand, you'll get it. The soundtrack works flawlessly with the beautiful and sometimes haunting images that float through this film's landscape. If you were a fan of truly alternative, clever music in the early eighties, then you will adore this lush soundscape. To me, this film hits closer to the heart of people searching for meaning in a sometimes meaningless situation far more effectively than "American Beauty" attempted to or could have. Have a glass or two of your favorite red, turn out the lights, and let this epic of jejune avoidance carry you away.

 | "A true "Classic"" | 2008-07-09 |
Why there has been no sequel to this film baffles me. It is an almost perfect depiction of life at sea during the Napoleanic Wars, and better yet, a multifaceted study of the human condition. The acting and action is superb, the plot unerring, and if you love GREAT surround sound, it is as good as it gets. I just wish they would continue the series. If they can make 3 Spiderman films, why won't they continue this far more interesting vein?
