Barry Lyndon (1975)
A tale of virtue.
Another Kubrick, another abstract well directed movie. This movie seems to transmit the message that aristocracy does not guarantee happiness. In fact, this 18th century story seems to reflect a problem very present in our 21st century society. To quote Notorious B.I.G. who says ''Mo' money, Mo' problem. It seems this movie reflects this train of thought very well. Furthermore, this picture gives a great general idea of the aristocrat hierarchy during the Age of enlightenment. Grosso Modo, this movie is well acted, well directed and representative of the historical dynamic of the 18th century. This film is recommended to those of you who love the historical details in movies.
Chavez: Inside the Coup (2003)
The influence of Media.
Whether this movie is propaganda or not (I firmly believe it is not), it really shows the power of Media. The importance of this documentary is not to show how good of a man Chavez is. It is really to demonstrate the way the Bolivarians saw how it happened, the Chavez way of seeing it. Although it may seem wrong and bias to support a film , I think the point of view shown in the movie is utterly legitimate. The Venezuelian people via the private media corporation of Venezuela only saw a one side perspective of the coup, the Neo-Liberal side. This movie shows us the way the Bolivarians saw it . Call it propaganda , I say it's a judgment call on your part.
