		<description><![CDATA[Mieko Harada in Akira Kurosawa’s Ran RAN Review: Part I Also, like Lear, all in the clan end up dead. But there are some major differences, aside from the depth and realism found in Kurosawa’s film. Lear’s past is an unknown. When we observe his suffering, we are apt to feel pity for him as a character &#8212; even in poorly wrought scenes. Hidetora, on [...]]]></description>

Schaffner’s Planet of the Apes &#8212; and up through the early 1980s television production The Day After, it’s remarkable how such a low-budget effort like The War Game retains its effectiveness when almost all other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Harrison Ford in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner BLADE RUNNER Review: Part II Now, fans of the film (and many of them border on fetishism) insist the &#34;Final Cut&#34; is better because it implies Deckard is a Replicant. Film critic James Berardinelli concurs: While the director’s cut removes the unfortunate voice-over from the original and eliminates the sappy happy ending, it also raises a question that [...]]]></description>
