I wrote a post about it maybe a year and a half ago or so, it went by entirely unnoticed, but really, it's a very good movie. A beautiful movie, even as it is ugly and horrendous.
It's SO seventies, and yet it is exactly that which makes it beautiful, along with the cast. A young Tobey Maguire, and an even younger Christina Ricci and Elijah Wood. Kevin Klein and Sigourney Weaver (whose "real" first name is Susan I believe).
Directed by Ang Lee, his first movie in English, and a man who was so very far from the US in the 70s. It's a remarkable accomplishment.
I love this movie, everybody should see it, because it is beautiful and scary and poetic, things are built in this movie, and things are destroyed.
I love it.
"But he that hath the steerage of my course,
