The greatest epics are movies unparalleled in magnificence. Their visions are only matched by the jaw-dropping spectacles they exhibit on screen. Every frame carries tremendous ambition that translates into piercing emotions for the audience.
These filmmakers had the audacity to dramatize their ideas in majestic splendor. They transport us from vast desert landscapes to the gaping void of space, from dismal jungles to countries torn apart by the drums of war. But there is something all of these epics share in common. However Homeric their journeys are, they all lead down a long, winding path into our humanity.
