Movies like Captain America, Drive, and X-Men make millions and millions of dollars and are seen by millions, because Americans are apathetic to the true conditions of the Third World countries and want to be entertained by action and more action, more special effects. Life, Above All offers reality of the suffering that the majority of the people of the world go through in poverty and lack of education and healthcare, with many of them influenced still by witch doctors ...

Drama.
This is mostly a movie of dialogue that really has a lot to say about the state of politics, governments, and abuse of power. It also shows how people can be separated by consciousness. The battle scenes in Afghanistan should have been done in the daylight. I just hate it when they try to save money in special effects by doing night scenes. So don't watch it for the action, but there's a lot of good mind stuff and great messages; Robert Redford, Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep.

Once in a while a film comes along that gives you hope in humanity and in the ability of the film industry to really say something meaningful. George Gallo (Director/Writer) uses the voice of an experienced older man, who is a master artist, to express his feelings to a young artist about his views of life and art, which equals the wisdom of an experienced sage. With lines like, "True art is beautiful," "True art really says something," and "An atheist can't paint true beauty," the movie is ...

Love In The Time Of Cholera is a sleeper film that should have won the Academy Award in the United States, but you know how it is—it's all political and they never really select the best picture or actors and actresses. Here the young Javier Bardem (who plays Florentino Ariza) falls in love as a pre-teen with Fermina (played by Giovanna Mezzogiorno), but when they are old enough to marry, the father (played by John Leguizamo) keeps them apart because the then young Florentino is ...

They formed a union, against all odds. Their victory to get equal pay forced the Ford Motor Company, as well as the Prime Minister of England, to make concessions that changed women's pay in many countries. Sally Hawkins, Bob ...
