I mean... it's a fantasy movie about archmages, mages, with a wizardry school, working spells, magic duels. A sort of a more adult Hogwarts. For anyone who never read Ursula K. Le Guin Sparrohawk's book, this may look as a good generic fantasy movie like any other one. Not that bad and better than many others.

But the problem is simple. This movie is not Earthsea. This movie and the original books share just the name but they are two different stories, the movie takes a few of the gems of the book, randomly, and mixes them in a generic salad. For those who read the books, it is kind of delusional. Very delusional.

The message of this movie is that life is just a brawl.

Having success in this movie is to punch harder. The only hope is fighting back and doing more damage. Even recurring to the law means hitting people and leave them bleeding.

There's any "study", no "adolescent life analisys", nothing deeper than the mere message that growing and becoming an adult means to learn how to better putting down the opponent till letting him crawling on the floor.

I suppose I have to respect this movie point of view but I strongly disagree.

This is a small piece of art. Less than two minutes to show all the deep meaning of understanding the world through its mathematical modelization.

It is the beauty of mathematics seen through phenomena, representations and formulas in a single glimpse.
