When you watch a movie like Shichinin no Samurai, Spartacus, or one of the contemporary ones, The Lord of the Rings, you get the feeling that is so genuine, so imposing that you sense the change of your heart rate, in the scene of Aragorn's Speech at the Black Gate for instance. Samurai Jack, simply gives you the same emotion, and thrill for every single episode of it.
Even in the episodes that the cartoon does not sustain any concerns about giving messages, the show excites you and makes you feel wonder about it. Scenes presenting a minimalist description with all details and the objects used intentionally are so realistic, and more than being realistic, so appropriate, and just. Basic elements like evil and good, justice and injustice, past and future, conventionalism or tradition and modernism or mechanization are presented so inventive, since you expect nothing more than originality from a cartoon, this show is exact and complete. Samurai Jack is also entertaining, as a cartoon should be, containing absurd comedy elements that are situational.
If I had a chance to turn a cartoon into movie, that cartoon would definitely be Samurai Jack, yet, maybe the perfection of the show is due to its type and drawings. So, just enjoying the show as it is, is the best chance to have.
