Bharathan @bharathan.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Saw Highest 2 Lowest, and if I were to compare it with the original, it's nowhere close. Kurosawa's film is all about ethical dilemmas. Spoke Lee's version is about choices made for the social media audience. Even as a standalone film it doesn't work. A$AP Rocky's "Both Eyes Closed" is great though. 020
