Jacob's Ladder (1990)
A gem
Jacob's ladder is one of the few movies that has invoked a true plethora of opinions in regards to what it was all about as well as what many individual scenes actually portrayed.
It is a journey of the soul and human consioussness, a portrayal of the struggle between life and death as much as good and evil, even if the two are not always distinguishable.
Tim Robbins and the rest of the cast give masterful performances, through a story that, although a bit fragmented, paints a fantastic picture of the main character's life.
It would be very hard to analyze the movie more without spoiling it with my own interpretations and this movie is all about your interpretation. Better to watch it and decide what its all about, on your own.
A true hidden gem.
Sword Gai: The Animation (2018)
Thoroughly enjoyable
I enjoyed watching this one quite a bit. Its not overly deep and the story is a bit fragmented but it is still a fun fantasy Anime. While it attempts to portray the inner struggle of its characters while they fight to retain their humanity and do good, it doesnt really manage to actually show true emotional struggle. The Artwork is lovely and the action scenes are quite enjoyable.
The dialogs are again not the most articulated, but they do serve their purpose. All in all it gives you the feeling that it can be much more than what it is and yet it is still great to watch.
Sometimes simple fun is great fun and this one is fun ! - it has me waiting to see the next part for sure.
