MY FAV! Political-Action-Revolt-War Film's
These are films that I find to be very intimidating in their nature. They provoke you to think outside the box about everyday life & what we consider "legal & illegal", "normal & abnormal" sometimes. Movies like Rampage are very violent but it's a necessity to show because it carries a few messages that show just how violent we're as a creation.
In America above all countries in recent centuries, we're founded on a grounding of not just democratic actions, but violent rebellions when talking alone isn't capable of solving bigger threats/problems. In films like Law Abiding Citizen, 1 man (with some cash of course) takes on that modern day corrupt, unjust State by attacking it's political enforcers & upholders of our many unjust laws. Is this right? Films like this are good because they show that sometimes, it is right. To others killing in ANY sense is wrong but they're blind. Killing for what is righteous is necessary & murdering innocents is totally different. Thanks.
