[Future Snake Eater]

“Master and Commander” is an epic film. It tells the story of Sea Captain Jack O’Brian and and his crew. The story is set in the year 1805 aboard a British frigate during the Napoleonic Wars. Captain O’Brian is hunting down a french privateer named Acheron. They travel around the horn of Africa and to the Galapagos Islands in their relentless pursuit of this mission.

Hardly any of that is correct. Did this guy even watch the movie?

Spiderman 1 and 2.

The whole theme is about taking responsibilty for ones actions (”with great power comes great reasponisbility”). Spidey sacrifices his own happiness for the sake of those he loves, as his Aunt May does for him. He sacrifices his chance for love with Mary Jane because it would endanger her, until she refuses and sacrifices her safety for their love. On a more mundane level, he struggles to put himself through school as a freelance photographer (no student aid!). What’s more conservative than family and personal responsibility?

I would strongly recommend Facing the Giants. The scene where the player carries another on his back down the field is one of the most intense things I've ever seen on film.

Toy Story 3 is a great and reminded me of Animal Farm, on a level intended for children and enjoyable for adults.
