Disclaimer. This movie deals with harsh subject matter. Such as suicide. Not to be consumed without being in the proper mindset.
 This movie is incredibly powerful. I don’t suggest ever re-watching this film, as it may lessen the initial experience. This movie is about an artist trying to move a mountain.. What you’re going to leave behind. Did anything you do actually matter? A prolific author and actor. Genuinely a very cool sounding dude. He has a very interesting perspective from a place that we can’t go to anymore. World War II Japan. This is a visually stunning, and a very well shot film. The stories are deeply moving. All of it is based off of a true story. When you get to the climax of the film. You will realize that there was never any other way it could’ve ended.

 This movie is about death, life and everything in between. We follow the story of a young drug dealer. Then we are taken through a life cycle. We watch as it ends. We watch the aftershocks of what that meant. Then we get to see life begin again. In one linear journey. This is an incredible film. It can never be watched again. It seems like it’s one of those movies. That even if you really love it. Re-watching it again would never have the same impact. This was incredibly powerful. It was also difficult to watch. It is very sad. But deeply moving. I would suggest this to anyone. Just be ready. Set yourself in the right mood and this is a one of a kind journey.

 I really enjoyed this film. Because I enjoy the struggle of a man with no purpose. You watch this man attempting to live his life while deeply depressed from the war. The PTSD has left him an alcoholic. More so than just regular alcohol. He makes his own concoctions. You get to see this man struggle with fitting back in to regular society. Eventually he finds himself in the company of some powerful people. They’re talking about some thought experiments and past lives. Turns out they’re actually developing a cult… Don’t have to worry about Freddie though. He can’t be changed.
 Having watched people be processed through similar programs as this. Made this hit particularly hard. It’s a very empathetic character that you’re watching destroy themselves. It’s heartbreaking. But it manages to still be funny. Ultimately, Freddie represents the last remaining normal relationship the master ever had. A very powerful performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman & Joaquin Phoenix. This is definitely a movie to watch in a smoky lounge with a good drink beside you.

Disclaimer: Don’t ever see any sequels. This stands alone. Everything else made after the fact. Is trash.
 This is a gritty violent noir. Color is used to an exceptional degree. Visually stunning. Excellent cinematography. Star set cast of excellent actors. An interesting story woven together through many short stories. It’s about corruption, the streets, fighting for survival, sacrifice.
 The comic book would be worth going back for. The stories are deeply moving. Marv is an unstoppable force. Probably my favorite of the stories. Amazing quotes. Great ending. “I love mercenaries, you never have to feel bad. No matter what you do to them.”

Charles Bronson is a father, a husband, and an architect. An all round great person. Until everything is taken from him. A band of degenerates, break into his home and violate his wife and daughter. This scene is hard to watch. His wife and daughter never recover. He then goes about his life trying to just live as if it was fine. But he continually finds himself drawn towards the streets. Towards the very people that he feels have wrong him. It starts out innocent enough. Defending himself from a mugger. Then he realizes he has nothing left to live for anyways. So he goes out to look for trouble. A man with a Deathwish, and nothing to lose.
 Now he only seems to exist to act out an endless war of vengeance upon criminals. He never reaches his blood limit. With each movie, he seems to learn new ways to enact his vengeance. He makes a couple good one-liners. Even though he is a criminal. You will find yourself rooting for him to get away. By the end of the series, having nothing left except his vengeance. Everyone he ever loved is gone. “ you ever have another problem like that. Give me a call.” It is sad. But it’s mostly very satisfying. If you ever felt angry after a home invasion. You would enjoy this movie. The original is the best. But I did enjoy two and three as well. Four and five were less enjoyable. But still a violent fun watch.

I haven't seen that movie in many years, probably not since the 90s I dont know if I'd still like it or not.

Weekend at Bernie’s.
Eight out of 10. They should’ve even gotten more bold with it. Just some goofy, silly fun. This dead man is absolutely haunting this assassin, who is supposed to have killed him hours ago. But he keeps showing up. And he keeps trying to kill him again. But then he sees him again. This really rounds out well. There’s even a sequel that manages to be really funny still. Great movie. Everyone should watch it high at least once.

These next three are part of the forbidden films series I’m going to do. These are films that have been banned in certain countries due to their imagery or subject matter. This series deals with graphic content and disturbing story matter. Such as murder, genocide, and sexual abuse. Viewers discretion is advised
This will be a set of three. More may be added.

This movie I watched recently really messed me up. I couldn’t even finish it. It filled me with this sense of existential dread.
I think to describe it. Would be to truly believe in God. But to have something being shown to you, that would prove that you are wrong, and that God is dead. That’s what it felt like. So I had to turn it off.
Then I just thought about if it was ever possible to stop having war. If it is just predestined, that we will forget and repeat this cycle of violence until our weapons finally become powerful enough to kill everyone.
I want to believe that there is a possibility of us getting to survive on this planet without having to kill each other like animals. But I don’t know if it is. I think I’m starting to lose hope in humanity. :Edit: That messed me up. I have finally recovered but goddamn.
