Street Fight (2005)
Great powerful documentary
Anybody familiar with Michael Moore or Fredrick Wiseman or any other documentary filmmaker know that the documentary genre is a very powerful medium. I just watched the Film Street Fight, a film recommended to me by nice little online show called the Cinefiles, a group amateur critics who get together and talk about film. In their political documentary piece, they spent a good amount of time discussing the film and I said to myself, I have to see this film. The film is absolutely heartbreaking on how dirty a political campaign can be. With two political candidates of the same race running for major of Newark, NJ, the race turns into a battle of "authentic ethnicity". Cory Booker, the lighter skinned man running for mayor, runs a clean campaign about fighting against poverty and crime. I can't stress enough how good and powerful of a film this is
Check it out
And think to yourself
How far off is this going to be from the Hilary vs. Obama presidential campaign??? Oh yeah if you want to see the talk of the Cinefiles...either look it up on Youtube...Or go to myspace.com/cinefiles
Jin-Rô (1999)
Watch this movie!!!
Jin-Roh is powerful tale of a forbidden love, where the two lovers are trapped in a world that has no way out. Jin-Roh uses animations as a powerful medium, instead of a tool of getting out of having to spend a lot of money to make special effects. Unlike most anime films, this could've been very easily made into a live action film, but instead makes a very powerful realistic (both in art and emotion) film that it pains me that will never get the type of recognition that it deserves. I strongly urge anyone who wants to experience the beauty of animation as a film medium, even if you don't like Anime or American animated films, give this film a chance. It will blow you away
