I was at first daunted by this movie because of its controversy in the real world (as well as a near 3 hour movie), but! This was incredibly made. The graphics were incredible with eye catching costumes, designs, sets, and acting. Everything was beautiful and I was in awe. I couldn't get up even to eat, get water, and so on. I loved how well made this movie in comparison to current screenings of Hollywood movies (nothing to compare, this was amazing). I am baffled that I had only learned about this movie because of its controversy (which may have brought an entirely new audience to this movie thus possibly opening up a new range of people for future movies).
I regret to say that there is a something in the movie that I can see being a problem which would be a stereotypical male macho and pride problem that causes problems (goes both ways for this story); however, I believe that the way everyone is portrayed gives beauty to each character and the plot (no matter of fiction or reality). I cannot say anything about the real world controversy because I am not well versed, but this movie paints a beautiful image of past times in a beautiful screenplay and I appreciate everything from the music to the lighting (the lighting is fantastic). Incredible job! Will be watching again as soon as I finish this review.
