l thought it was quite amazing. It's rather slow, but it doesn't really drag or anything. Definitely check it out (if slow, thoughtful, beautiful movies are your thing, anyway). |

Heh. My father loved it. He wouldn't stop talking about it for months. Said it was some philosophical exploration of Buddhism. I haven't seen it, so couldn't say, but it did dound interesting. In general I think my dad has pretty good taste in films, so i trust him on this one. It did quite well in theatres too. 87 reviews in at rt and it got a 94% approval rating. That's very high. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/spring_ ... nd_spring/ |

I think if you have an interest in Buddhism, and approach it from that angle, it is a good film. I didn't like it though, it just was pretty flat and disconnected. |

w00t! Well, my father is a self-proscribed anthropologist hehe, so I guess he went at it from the Buddhist angle. I don't really know anything about it except for what I've heard from him, so assumed it was obvious, it might have just been one reading of it though (his). I have almost no idea what it is about. |

No, your father spot on in his reading. If we assume that the film has a point, then the only logical conclusion to come to is that it's a visual representation of the teachings of Buddism. I just don't think there is a purpose for many people to see this? I dunno. I heard fantastic things about it for months and one of my former collegues talked it up to be this epic life-changing motion picture, and it's really just a few vignettes which express the main points of the philosophy. All questionably acted (it depends on which part of the 5 you are in) and no plot to speak of, with cinematography which to me, looked pretty flat and uninspired. |
