Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

♥♥♥♥♥

+1 star for sheer significance and the importance of experiencing it. I'm not positing it is the full truth, merely that much of the material touched upon in it, is still in dire need of radical change.
It's particularly so fucking terrible to witness the casualties of war and all the suffering, juxtaposed with lunatic soldiers masking the cold facts of warfare (and warfare completely uncalled for at that) with the entertainment industry's simplified fiction and glorified (ignorant and cold-blooded) violence. I really can't believe it! It's like they believe they're just performing a regular job and fail to realise their personal, all too real, responsibility. And my country's (Denmark) soldiers were involved in this; I am so fucking ashamed. 
Furthermore, watching the soldiers' encouraged child-like mentalities makes you understand how terrible it in turn is, that some twisted mastermind politician cynics-whatever can make these twisted and inhumane decisions, to both brainwash and take advantage of the invading soldiers (and (patronise) the remaining citizens via media bullshit en masse) of their own respective countries and to brutally murder and harm the innocent citizens of the unlucky random (not politically!) weaker military target. If only nationalist bias could be universally put to death, we would take a tremendous resounding step forward.

♥♥♥♥

Both terrible and beautiful. I only wish Denmark, and other countries, had their own Michael Moore's so we could start focusing on our own problems rather than just generalizing some loveworthy foreign nation with a centralized system detrimental to everyone...just like the case here in Denmark and in so many other places...something fundamental lost along the way.

Favourite directors

I don't think I know enough about directing as a discipline to evaluate that, so this is more based on me expecting a higher quality film if a given director is behind it.
