i like watching good movies. many times i tried to list my favourite movies and want to find out, whether there are movies that represent my taste. but without much success. i don´t like a special genre, i am not confined to a special time or country, there are very old movies i like and many of them are no hollywood productions. some of them had an emotional impact on me, some of them were thought-provoking, some are just funny or with dense atmosphere or special effects. since movies are an important part of the things in life i don´t want to miss, i will try out two different ways to present them in this thread. first the movies i watched recently and could recommend and second, when i find some of my favourites on you tube. sadly, one could not rely on that they remain there. it would be much easier to share interests, knowledge and culture with digital abundance
yesterday i watched the movie “crash” (2004) by paul haggis. different stories of different people living in los angeles and meet in situations with big emotional impacts. what fascinates me most, is that they all have different motives for their actions but these are all in a way consistent with their character and life and very comprehensible although all the characters do something very bad and also very nice concerning their fellow human beings. one could say, that the golden thread in the movie is about racism and weaponry but to me the merit of the movie is to show the whole spectrum of human motives and how they influence each other without labeling a character as "good " or “bad”.
and here is one movie i love since my childhood:
