Comedian Harmonists (1997)
Parallels in America today versus Berlin in 1920's and 1930's
Not a holocaust movie! More importantly than the incredible cruelty violence and unthinkably vile holocaust are the reasons behind it. I often think that I and my family and friends are much like the middle class in German pre Hitler. The black minority would have you believe America is made up of brown shirt para governmental thugs reigning havoc on them. In my circle most think my opinion of the Obama governmental thug like actions are hysterical. Many in Europe never wised up even as they saw there clothing being sorted and piled high before entering the "showers" so they wouldn't louse up the camp.
Even as a non Jew member of the group fought between his love of his family and group members. The Nazi's knew how to control their people. Remember the "A chicken in every pot" is a Hitler quote! Free stuff and falling into line are rewarded under these totalitarian regimes. If you are getting the analogy, thank God, if you aren't then you never will.
The Imitation Game (2014)
I cried, the story was so poignant
Cumberbatch is exceptional and gets better with each performance. Done in the best British drama style. This alone makes this a superb film. Mark Strong and others offer very strong absolutely believable characters. Alone these elements make this an 8 rated pic.
This however is overshadowed by the nearly unbelievable story - top secret until just a few years ago. Compare this environment to today's 9/11. We, especially New Yorkers, were completely united in the war to save America and the world. Today just 14 years later we now have forgotten. Regards WWII, people around the world even in the free world, have forgotten. The scene where the Mark Strong character interrupts the code breaking team because they were joking together, and adds that in the time they were chatting three soldiers have died "I hope they didn't have families, then looking at his watch says there goes another" is chilling and brought a tear to my eyes.
Individuals are shown to be unimportant in the war of wars. Winning was the only option regardless of the horror.
Then add to all this that the lead character is destroyed and dies literally by those whom are most in his debt.
One of the finest stories I ever heard, the fact it was true makes tears pour down my cheeks.
Don't Miss
Gunga Din (1939)
One of the finest movies ever produced
Truly a shame! This film not to be in the top 250 is criminal.
Film history will record this as a glorious combination of epic proportion and love story. Even the love story includes traditional and siblings in arms.
If I were to create a syllabus for film history class this picture would be included for certain.
Though nearly eighty years old this premise is in a 2015 relevant form. Religious zealots killing for killing sake. Historical yet timely.
Kipling was the most powerful poet I have ever read.
As good as it gets. Enjoy
La casa del fin de los tiempos (2013)
True Real find
Shockingly good! Intricate lovely story, which accounts for the less than stellar ratings I imagine.
Like many who are mocked "for reading" in today's world, story lovers are told "you think too much." We are entering the new "dark ages" of 30 second attention spans.
Truly a haunted house classic that is very believable.
Sure this story requires your attention, when did taking life seriously end? While we laugh ourselves into oblivion - the heathens scorch our earth. Wait... that sounds like it could make a good screenplay/story nay, takes too much thought, after all its just life.
God's Not Dead (2014)
Reviews reveal
No fair person could honestly give this film less than a 6 or 7 rating depending on your personal aesthetic. If you find your rating is lower please consider NOT reviewing films in a forum of intelligent honest aficionado.
Production values were exceedingly good, especially considering the micro budget.
Non believers are also haters. They hate those that do along with those that are open to belief. Non believers are not content in their lack of belief, they look to damage and hate those that do.
God forgive you.
