The Rehearsal is the greatest analysis of the relationship of movie, TV and reality ever put to film. It’s like an adaptation of Baudrillard Simulacres et simulation. The simulacra turns into the reality that reality is forced to conform to. Pure philosophical musings on the wildest most ridiculous scene premises. It strips LA film culture naked and ridicules it without any sort of shame.
That’s Bob Anderson’s masterpiece. Greatest film sword stuntman and choreographer ever, Darth Vader himself. Although I would say that the best film depictions of sword fighting have to be Alatriste for rapier fencing and Rob Roy (1995) for the broadsword. The Last Duel was also both entertaining and realistic.
