Typical Oshii pretentiousness (and basset hounds) out the wazoo.

literally fell asleep twice trying to watch it.
i'd rather read a book.

It's way too slow but I liked it better than Jin-Roh.

It was alright, never understood the 'message' of it though

Oshii's best directed film. Suits his styles the best. Also was the easiest to understand. The original author of the novels also liked the movie even though it was a lot different than the source.

I liked it.

I fell asleep for the middle third of the movie and never bothered to watch what I missed. Absolutely unforgivably boring. What an awful way to end your career as a director.

What I really, really liked about this movie is that it's fundamentally about a video game.

The Teacher is the guy playing the game, who becomes stronger through accumulating experience. But the Kildren are 'born' because of him, as he wants to keep playing i.e. Keep the war going. The strange, stunted lives of the Kildren are basically what it's like to be an NPC, down to the same guy being sent to the same goddamn base.

It's not a very exciting movie, but the concept's there.

Oshii is still active in live action film
