i watched this 5-6 times on loop just for the camera work. colour, lighting, angle.. /drooooooooool.

Warning:

If I wasn't distractedly in love with Jason Scott Lee's face, I'd probably rate this lower.

Anti-semitism
18
The Joy Luck Club 1993,  R)
19
Jakob the Liar 1999,  PG-13)
Jakob the Liar
Diet version of the holocaust. This is irresponsible, portraying a holocaust while polishing out all of the horror and atrocity.
20
Casablanca 1942,  PG)
21
Captain Corelli's Mandolin 2001,  R)
22
Pearl Harbor 2001,  PG-13)
Pearl Harbor
I started watching it, and it so quickly veered away from historical accuracy and dove headfirst into propaganda that I had to turn it off. Films aren't "just for fun". This is how real perceptions of those events are spread. This, as well as the version of the destruction of Pearl Harbour (or the USS Maine, for that matter) found in American textbooks is hate propaganda.
23
The One That Got Away 1957,  R)
24
Saving Private Ryan 1998,  R)
Saving Private Ryan
Trigger Warning:
Violence
..the kind with a lot of screaming.

I tried to watch this when I was 15. Apparently the first few minutes are the worst, but the way I remember it, I still don't know if I could sit through it.
25
Black Book (Zwartboek) 2007,  R)

28
The Mortal Storm 1940,  Unrated)
29
Youth Without Youth 2007,  R)
Youth Without Youth
Needs to pick a direction. The plot lacks focus and connectivity, and events are mostly just connected to a common topic, but not to each other. Visually and emotionally very vivid.
30
Letters from Iwo Jima 2006,  R)
31
The Lives of Others 2006,  R)
The Lives of Others

I'm really not sure what their point was.. it felt like they just latched a bunch of short unrelated events together. "Things that could happen to some people".
