Waltz with Bashir (Vals Im Bashir)

Ari looks at his picture taken twenty years ago in Beirut. Thin, wearing his uniform, with a crossed Galil, no beard, no white hairs, young. The city in the background, destroyed by the bombing. I do not recognize this, he admits. There's something wrong there. I can’t remember.

Defiance

WWII. Bielorussia is the battlefield between the German lines and the Russian ones. Jews are hunted and persecuted as in the rest of Europe. There is never going to be enough talking and reminding of the shame of those years, but we have to admit that a lot of the movies dealing with this issue are quite similar.

Battleship Potemkin (Bronenosets Potyomkin)

"Battleship Potemkin" is a movie partially based on real events that occurred in the port of Odessa (Russia) during the week following to June 26, 1905.

The sailors of the "Battleship Potemkin" have had enough of abuse and, when they try to force them to eat rotting meat, they decide to revolt. Full of expressive images, almost like a photo album, "Battleship Potemkin" represents the magnification of the figure of the masses and of the collective cause.

Schindler's List

It was 1971 when there was a big change in the life of Steven Spielberg. Due to the movie "Duel", filmed for television, Spielberg showed the ease with which he could maintain the viewer's attention and made ​​himself known as a leading man when it comes to science fiction themes. Four years later he released "Jaws", movie that opened him the doors of Hollywood, placing him away from the rest of the average directors and showing some vestiges of what would become his future works. The ease in which he handled the adventure genre led him to produce works that turned into  blockbusters, such as "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," "ET" and the trilogy  of "Indiana Jones".
