This is a movie that delves deeply into the soul. Mark Rylance does an impressive job of showing how much mankind has turned into the savage that we strive as a "civilized" world tend to miss.
Johnny Depp, really nails the heartless, zombie that his character demonstrates. Who is the Barbarian? This could have been a story of the Russian Empire before the Communist took over. Elitist attitudes, such that. Robert Pattinson portrays. I wanted to slap his smug face, but that would be barbaric too. The Asian girl, shows the inhumanity of her captors, but slowly knows that the Magistrate is trying to help her. It's a life lesson. When you are in someone else's country, you are the guest and should respect them.
I would highly recommend this thoughtful film. Don't look at from an invaders perspective, but as a place that has felt civilization turn on them.
