While I didn't enjoy this film enough for me to say I'll ever watch it again, I can't refute how good the animation is. The score is also well done, specifically in an earlier scene when the boar first arrives. That particular score is very original and unlike any other I've heard before. I am not a huge fan of much anime but I am a fan of movies in general(hence my intrigue in the film). If you enjoy anime that focus more on story and allegorical meaning(opposed to fighting) then this may just be the film for you. On quality of visuals and score alone I rate it a 7/10 and I didn't enjoy as much as I'm sure alot of you will.
Shamefully this my first cinematic experience involving Kirk Douglas. Hearing him speak reminded me alot of his son(mannerisms, voice tone etc.) Michael who is an accomplished actor in his own right. Kirk was wonderful in this movie with his performance and I believed him every step of the way. This movie is very well shot and paced. The cast as a whole is very good and the villain character in this story is very easy to hate. This film doesn't have a Happy ending and will leave you with a sickly feeling in your stomach at times as the depiction of war is always ugly. I will be looking more into Mr. Douglas' filmography.
Very good film and I would say rewatchable.
