	dOc DVD Review: Barbarians at the Gate (1993)
		Barbarians at the Gate is a rare combination of history and satire, allowing us to be fascinated with the temptations and machinations of the barons of power, even as we laugh at the resulting setbacks, misfortunes and grand financial follies.
		The dual-layer anamorphic transfer presents the movie with natural color and decent detail, though edge enhancement and light fl level with poor shadow detail make it look more like video than film (the interlaced master also contributes to this effect).
		Barbarians at the Gate recounts the tale of the takeover battle for RJR Nabisco with style and humor.

		At least "Barbarians at the Gate" comes with a widescreen picture transfer, something I can't say for several other HBO releases I have rented lately.

		The terrorists are a virulent subset of a much larger group of anti-capitalists, one that includes many politicians, bureaucrats, writers, media types, academics, entertainers, trade unionists and, at times, church leaders.
		The barbarians at the gates are more numerous than you thought.
		The distinctive feature of their ideology is a bitter hostility toward the West, toward the rule of law and toward the market system.

		Barbarians at the Gate is the best Wall Street book I have ever read.
		The climax is as good as any thriller (I completely missed my stop on the tube, finally snapping out of a daze thinking, "hey I haven't been this excited since Jodi Foster went head to head with Buffalo Bill in Silence Of The Lambs!").
		Secondly, and maybe not intentionally, Barbarians at the Gate is a piercing social/historical commentary - just by "telling it like it was" the narrative skewers the eighties, Wall street and the Reagan years so brutally it might as well be a spit roast.

	The Digital Review - Barbarians At The Gate - DVD Review
		Ok, one may not have heard of the last "character" in that list, but in Barbarians at the Gate, James Garner plays F. Ross Johnson, the CEO of RJR Nabisco, and yet another poster boy of corporate greed in America during the 1980's.
		If this was a theatrical release it would be more disappointing, but being that it was a TV movie, and taking into account the budget for this movie, it's passable.
		Because just like the opening shot of the movie claims, this well-executed story is based on truth, as unbelievable as that may seem.

		I see glimmers of a medium that is capacious and broadly expressive, a medium capable of capturing both the hairbreadth movements of individual human consciousness and the colossal cross currents of global society.
		Just as the computer promises to reshape knowledge in ways that sometimes complement and sometimes supersede the work of the book and the lecture hall, so too does it promise to reshape the spectrum of narrative expression, not by replacing the novel or the movie but by continuing their timeless bardic work within another framework.
		The Hacker and timeless bardic work may seem to be a strange pairing — but they are images calculated to ease certain anxieties and open up possibilities of thought concerning the relationship between literature (past, present, and future) and new electronic technologies.
