Charisma. Pretty tough subject matter to base a movie around, but Kurosawa pulled it off. One must give some license to the subject matter in this flick, for it was admirable to even consider tackling this story in a movie. i don't know if the intent here was truly understood by the makers of this flick, but to me it centered more around man's self imposed apotheosis and hence role in world domination, included that of nature itself, rather than being directed towards answering the never ending debate as to which is the more important, the forest or the trees. Ashe.
