We've just seen either:
1. One of the greatest films ever made, or
2. One of the worst films ever made
Either way, it was a remarkable film.
It has several concurrent stories, including a ship's voyage in the mid 1800s; two composers collaborating on writing music; a publisher trying to escape from forced retirement in a rest home; a tribe living on a pacific island; a writer investigating a crime at a nuclear power station; and a futuristic Korean capital featuring a soon to be rebel who will become a Goddess. And all of this with the same actors playing one or more characters in each of those stories.
Maybe it's no surprise that it seems to take forever to tell all those intertwining stories - the film is around three hours long.
The characters and the acting are sensational.
I struggled to find connections between the content of the film and the alleged story about a world searching for energy, but that didn't seem to detract from my enjoyment of this engrossing film.
