20 Days in Mariupol (2023)
Gut Wrenching Must See
The most gut wrenching film I've ever watched. Every American should be required to watch this if they have any questions/doubts as to why the USA is giving aid of all kinds to Ukraine in their fight to remain a sovereign country. This is not so much a "war movie" as there are surprisingly few soldiers shown throughout the movie. It's a real time documenting of the horrors of war as endured by the civilian population of Mariupol. From day to day scenes of watching the war progress in the distance to one day it's literally in the street in front of you, you'll never think of the concept of "war" the same ever again.
The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019)
Nobody's Home
Beautiful cinematography captures a generally empty story. I had been told that this was the "film of the year" by more than one person, but 10-15 minutes in to it, it hadn't captured my interest, and unfortunately never did.
Other than some artsy scenes of overt racial "statements" about black and white people I didn't find much of a message in this movie other than themes that have been covered by films since Boyz in The Hood, if not sooner.
