Washington concluded, “In heaven, there are going to be two lines, the long line and the short line, and I’m interested in being in the short line.”

Have you seen Throne of Blood ?
The Japanese version of it.
The “out, out! Damned spot” scene was quite well done
an Mifune looking like a porcupine with arrows stuck
in him was a great end.

A bit off topic but do you think it might be a good time in the near future to revisit THE TIN DRUM which was about Germany before wwii?

I don’t know the movie, but feel free to weigh in with a recommendation. That’s the purpose of this ping list.

Freepers seem to spend a lot of time complaining about objectionable films (which is shooting fish in a barrel), while the good films are often overlooked.

Recommendations are always on topic as far as I’m concerned. I listed the three best 2021 films I’ve seen so far this year, as well as the two best older films that I discovered this year. I’m always glad to hear more, which I will add to my watchlist.

‘Death Of Stalin’ was one of the best I’ve seen since ‘Wag The Dog’.

Dark, dark, dark, but Jason Isaacs as Zukhov is brilliant. Loved watching Beria get capped.

“I’ll give a dollar to the first one that finds any interview with Denzel Washington claiming he’s a Christian where he actually mentions the word Christ.

However I do know Denzel and his wife donated the max to pro abortion, pro LGBT, anti family, anti Christian, pro BLM Stacy Abrams in Georgia. Like so many other frauds, I’m guessing his god Is right in the mirror. No Denzel, I’m thinking you will be in the long line.”

+1

An ultra-liberal actor putting on just another act.

Jason Issacs is like Gary Oldman, an absolute chameleon.

Thanks. I’ve added it to my watchlist.

You might have mentioned it’s a Criterion Collection film. They count triple, whether you like them or not.:)

Death of Stalin (2017) is great.

87.6 percent of people who liked Death of Stalin also liked Chernobyl (2019), which I’m guessing many freepers have seen, and Dear Comrades! (2020), which I’m guessing most have not yet seen:

There are quite a few good films on the U.S.S.R., communism and the Cold War, but looking specifically at new releases, I have not yet found a good 2021 movie to add to the list — although stretching just a bit, there is Train to Busan, which is clearly a thinly veiled critique of modern woke cancel culture:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyWuHv2-Abk

The action is cleverly shifted from the Harvard or Yale campus to a train in Korea, but the behavior of “the infected” mirrors precisely what we see from modern woke social justice warriors. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I think I will come back as a movie critic in my next life.

Freepers never ever let facts get in the way of a good myth

Ever

Especially if it feeds the ....of course I like black folks meme

Denzel is clean and articulate too
