This director, I've never heard of him, is excellent. The movie was great! A great action movie, a great distraction, a great cultural movie, a great experience.
Very happy to have seen it.

This film allows for an introduction to analysis because it is so easy to see that Watership Down, when the finally get there is a democracy which moved forward from a lassez faire government that does not help the rabbits at all and only survives after fighting what is clearly a fascist rabbit government.
As an introduction to analysis, it's not bad.
