If you see one film in your life...this is it

Advantages: Gritty, dark and realistic.. you feel like you are there
Disadvantages: It is one of the few films I wished that could have been longer than three hours

There are some things in life you will always remember and I think this film is one of those things. I went to see it originally in the opening week of its cinematic release. I had heard about this film and was very interested to see it because I have a huge interest in the holocaust and what led to it happening. I knew before I went who some of the actors cast were and I also knew that it was a film lasting for three hours. The film gripped me lice ...
...lit...to it gradually changing into black and white. I was absorbed with the power of the nazis and the futility of existence for the Jews. What this film portrays so well is the need in capitalism for exploitation. The nazis, although intent on killing every jew, still believe that they should get the most out of them before they die. they feed them minimal calories and expect them to work round the clock, you hear them talking about this at different ...

The Thick Of It - Fear Mongering Satire!

Advantages: Beatifully written, annoyingly satisfying,
Disadvantages: none

Another underrated British comedy. The Thick Of It shows the day to day innings of the Social Affairs Department. But saying its just a friendly annoying anxiety between characters would be a lie. The atrocities, the shortcuts, the fraud, truly make this sitcom the most truthful piece of humanity. No one enjoys work, and people that don't enjoy work, will do everything they can to make their work, not work. This would usually involve getting their ...
...easier. This comedy truly is the biggest jibe at the monetary system I've ever seen. It does it with such style, pomposity, and wit that you will find the revelations within you have always existed. A better world exists, everyone knows it, yet this system works on a human level too. It's just that people don't like this level. I could have explained the utter genius of Malcolm. I could have explained how i almost died laughing at the imfamous iPod ...
