> **"I think I have lost all faith in *man*."** This movie is superb in it's screenwriting, inventing the *"Rashomon Effect"* that's used literally everywhere - My first Kurosawa gives me high hopes for his masterful blocking and screenwriting - *Toshiro Mifune *plays a crazy guy that scratches himself and laughs every minute so well - A movie about contradictions; misogyny vs misandry, good vs bad **A great Japanese Golden Cinema film!**

> **"You never know who's *listening*."** This film is a tense and fast paced timeless thriller that's great - *Denzel Washington *just dominates in any scene he's in - *Spike Lee *weaves a non linear story like no other that can leave you shocked - The occasional hand-held shots really upped this movie a ton - The lighting is crisp, bold and sharp especially in the night **A great heist thriller film!**

> **"I'm not Indian."** This movie really hits at times but really doesn't at times too - Plotline of *Peddi *being a runner is the only highlight **A very bad Indian blockbuster...**

> **"Could I ask you... *your name?*"** Rewatching this absolute masterpiece on it's 10 year anniversary really hits different... - *Makoto Shinkai* weaves a story of non linearity to perfection - The visuals are just *prepossessing, *every frame is just art - And lastly, the absolute timeless soundtrack by *RADWIMPS *just raises the level of elegance of this film **An animated masterpiece!**
