Quotes
Griffith: Why do men like to shed blood, you asked. You are right in saying that it is one of the facets we, men, possess. However, it is but a tool to obtain what our heart desires and keep it from harm's way. I believe it to be a double-edged blade.
Charlotte: What your heart desires... a lover? A knight's honor?
Griffith: Both are important, aren't they? Fighting and dying for love and honor is what a knight desires above all else. But for men there exists something even more important than that. You know of it, I believe.
Charlotte: More important?
Griffith: It is a dream formulated and fostered for your own sake. Men are entranced by their dreams regardless of birth, rank or social standing. The dream supports them. It makes them suffer and it breathes new life into them. And it kills them. Even after they've given up on it, it continues to smolder in their hearts. All men have a dream at least once in their lives. They imagine themselves being martyrs to the God their dream has become. Others live on powerlessly, birthed into the world. I could not endure such a life.

one of the years great animated action movies

Berserk is eye candy great animation, they have done well with the backgrounds and scenery's, matching emotions with color and light and detailed action bravo to the sword fights, all in all it is a superb movie, character with masochism, best suited for male viewers who likes gore and well feel macho...whatever, anyway the story is good too has a mystery element to it the flow is great, it keeps you involved, in the situation, keeps guessing and keeps the viewers in the dark. sex and violence a lot of it violence that is and it has 18+ on it, that is the whole 3 movies altogether. There are some scene that does look a bit similar to some other movie situations, namely LOTR but it's not that distracting or even significant at this point, i really enjoyed it, i think any one who enjoyed, LOTR, final fantasy, medieval action movies, should watch it, sex and violence with a meaning well who could say no to that. enjoy the movie!
