Movie #1821: Sansho The Bailiff (1954, Kenji Mizoguchi)
This one came in at #22 in WondersInTheDark's Top 3000 of all time. It would be considerably lower on my list. Like last night's film this one is beautifully composed but the plot needs to be better. In last night's film everything was gray, in this one everything is black or white (good and evil in stark contrast instead of all characters being the same). However, this really doesn't help much because there is no wiggle room : slavery is bad, freedom is good. Who is it that would disagree with that?
I assume that this one is ranked so high because of its beauty (see photo).
Movie #1822: How To Start Your Own Country (2010, Joey Shapiro)
An amusing look at micro-nations. Ones newly minted as well as some 30, 40 or even hundreds of years old. Both eye opening and silly.
