Ackery

I will say that I expected something completely different. A story about two rivals that compete with each other. Something darker, more brutal and tense. However, in the end this was a tale about brotherhood, wrong -and right- decisions, art, love, passion, loneliness and ambition. It was a masterpiece with painfully beautiful music and splendid costumes. An ode to Kabuki theatre; and it was beautiful for what it is.

The last scene is simply perfect and reminded me of the reason why I love cinema so much.
