Well I must say nicely executed (pun entirely intended).
The script starts out strong with the mechanical men, obsequious to their lords.
It is hard to perceive men so rigid in their view of existence, though no doubt they exist even now.
The story does descend to the weepy melodrama, but is that not the fate of all living creatures? do they not seek to procreate? thank the lord the plants obey.
The trimester of the movie becomes improbable.
One wishes that he had armed himself with Damascus steel rather than bamboo. Then surely the world would not have occurred.
But I glory that there are such people that live amongst trees, rather than slewing Dem Deutsch folk. Forgive me for I spake'easy in riddles if not rhymes.
Anyway back to the evaluation: A film not to be missed if you can forgive the middling melodrama and the fantasy resolution. But it works, it works, I still remember it 2 days hence.
Maybe tomorrow I forget the Bushido code. @#$%^&*(()
