High and Low

Wow, I watched this movie due to the announcement of the Spike Lee version and due to the plan to watch Seven Samurai later today. But I was absolutely blown away. Every aspect of this film was amazing, from the story to the cinematography and acting.. I can’t help but feel this movie won’t work in the modern day (granted I’ve never seen a Spike Lee film [sry]) modern day filmmaking is constantly asking for twists and crazy suspense. Though the suspense is strong in the first half. The second half is reliant on the preexisting interest of the story, the people my age that I know wouldn’t be able to sit through this movie. But those who can would love it. “Why should you and I hate each other?— I don't know. I'm not interested in self-analysis. I do know my room was so cold in winter and so hot in summer I couldn't sleep. Your house looked like heaven, high up there. That's how I began to hate you.”
