So what is the occasion? I found out they are going to reboot Highlander too from the classic '80s movies. They did started with Robocop. 

I tell you what we are going to do. I will ridicule the reboot of Highlander and then we are going on a nerdgasm journey to the first incredible Highlander movie. 

First off. If you actually want to make a good reboot at least make it with the best possible resources. Instead the actor first casted for the role was Ryan Reynolds...

So I don't have a problem with they guy. He is nice and all but he did actually destroyed every kind of movie that had a tiny bit of fantasy in it. So we don't start so well.

Then they suggested for a director to be Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Know him? Yep. He is actually famous for 28 weeks later. I would go meh on this one. Not complete WTF.

Then Juan Carlos Fresnadillo abandons the directing and also Ryan Reynolds leaves the cast. Which leaves us seeking a new candidate for the main role. But we do have a new director. 

He is famous for visual arts...

What is so special about this movie then? 

First off. It's the endless allegory of life and death. Future and the past. The struggle for life and the pointlessness of living. 

Connor McLeod is the objectification of our fears and hopes. He is the messenger of our internal search. 

He seeks answers from the scope of infinite questions. Its the lust of every living person. To live forever. But within our vanity and inferiority we try to mock immortality by providing the excuse of being unbearable. Thus he goes from immortality to mortality as the ultimate truth. 

This way McLeod is fighting death. But also he is fighting life. What this movie is about for me, is the plain cruel reality of understanding your mortality and seeking fulfillment in your life. Seeking symbolism and completion  through a series of events with a similar ending.

Highlander lives in a static reality. After a while nothing is linear. It all comes in to a complete entity with nor beginning or end.

Highlander shows us that perhaps truth can be insignificant. Significance is made through serendipity along with action. After all there can be only one. One path for you to follow.

Now let us go to the geek path. 

Let us number down the reasons why this movie is truly amazing.
