Have you picked up on the black humour?

I am in my sixties and have seen thousands of movies. The 'message' behind 47 Ronin was the reason for my enthusiasm. Some others are; Singin' in the Rain; 1492: Conquest of Paradise; Braveheart; Fight Club; The Bridge on the River Kwai; Blade Runner; Book of Eli; Silence of the Lambs; True...
