No. Not really. The differences are numerous: first off,
the plot structure is much tighter and centers on the
animal side of man, and HITP doesn't have CA's boring first
and last acts to bog it down. Pitting Marvin against
Kurosawa favorite Mifune was a great idea, but could have
failed with a more conventional approach. Here we are
introduced to both in a neutral way, free to prefer which
ever one we choose to. Both actors do a fine job, playing
mostly emotional and physical roles with great restrain and
intelligence. Boorman's direction is perfect, rejecting
excess stylization in favor of a subtle approach and
relying on superb photography. You have got to see this at
least once, simply because it is very philosophical without
ever trying to be. Because it boasts top performances from
two of the last century's greatest leading presences in
action cinema. Because, though frustrating at first, the
ending is, for once, the smartest one that could have been
chosen. Humanity is on trial and the judges choose to be
honest and pragmatic, thus delivering something that
combines greatness and very thoughtful substance.
