In Reply to: There's War and there's Peace everywhere... I am in love, my dear Patrick! posted by Victor Khomenko on December 5, 2003 at 07:22:26:
Victor,The early scene in which Fonda wanders in drunken, open-mouthed awe through the party with the drinking contest in the blown-out 5th floor window hooked me right away.
As you say, there are many flaws- though I'm not up to speed on the authenticity of the uniforms, this is one of those films- "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is another- that I forgive a lot just because there is always the sensation of another adventure around the next corner and the movie maintains a kind of consistenty.
I think a "War and Peace" movie is almost impossible as anyone who knows the book will miss the strangely low-key ironic language of the book too much. Although, if Kurosawa had done W&P in the same spirit as "Ran" is an adaptation of King Lear - transmutation to a non-literal form in another place and time- it might have worked.
Cheers,
Bam
