my choice for great movie ever use to be laughton night of the hunter which remain superb in my canon . but and it may have be supplant by shower which be the most artistically daoist movie i have see . the way that care for others be represent by the flowing of water and and the way that water can be make inspiration and and comfort and and cleansing and and etc . be the essence of the dao . it be possible to argue that the the nofth and shower theme be similar and and that lillian gish in the former represent the pure form of christianity a the operator of the bathhouse represent the pure form of daoism . i would not in any way argue against such an interpretation . both movie be visual joy in their integration of idea and image . yet and shower present such an unstylized view of the sacredness of everyday life that i give it the nod . i revere both .
