In most movies where the world is overrun by aliens or some outside malevolent force, there is usually an element of revolt in the narrative. Independence Day, for example, sees our heroes rise against the invading forces in a grand militaristic bid to take back their planet. The thing about those movies, though, is that their views are always a bi...
Before America became infatuated with the idea of a world where zombies rule, most people in the United States were obsessed with the concept of Russia taking over. Though some simply felt that the war would consist of a series of nuclear missiles being launched from across the globe, others were prepared for the kind of traditional ground invasion...
There are many, many different kinds of rebellion films out there but, for the most part, they tend to be pretty serious pieces of work. That makes sense considering that rebellions tend to be pretty serious by their very nature most of the time. But you know, even in the most serious of circumstances, you have to be able to find some laughter. Lif...
Here’s the thing about V for Vendetta: It’s maybe a little too effective in its portrayal of rebellion. The character of V is a larger than life representation of the human spirit who is not only the one man in an oppressed world willing to rise up and perform direct actions against the totalitarian government that rules the day, but he’s also a co...
It’s easy to pick apart The Patriot from a filmmaking standpoint. Its heroes are almost entirely pure (the writers go out of their way to even clarify that the family slaves are, in fact, paid laborers), the villains are the kind of evil usually reserved for cartoons, its historical accuracy is laughable at best, and the film’s writing is about as ...
It’s odd that The Matrix is never really talked about as a revolutionist film. While later movies in the trilogy (you know, the ones that you try to forget about) directly tapped into the revolutionist themes when it came to portraying the battle of Zion, the original Matrixrarely directly presents itself as the story of a small band of humans tryi...
Steven Soderbergh’s two-part epic about the life of Cuban revolutionist Che Guevara was always destined to be a somewhat controversial film. After all, anytime you make a revolutionist movie about the complex life and times of a man whose very visage has become symbolic of the act of revolution itself, you’re going to have some detractors ready to ...
If you have trouble watching films made around the dawn of cinema, we can’t say that we blame you. Though we're personally a fan of these early works, there is no denying that the films of the ’20s can be incredibly rough pieces of entertainment with merits that are hidden under a layer of technical shortcomings and that era’s fondness for elaborat...
When American journalist John Reed published his book Ten Days That Shook The World in 1919, it was something of a controversial piece of work. Reed had become so lost in the plight of the Russian revolutionist of the October Revolution that he was no longer able to remain a conscientious objector and instead found himself sympathizing deeply with ...
Les Miserables has been successful as a stage play, television series, Broadway musical and a film adaptation of that musical. In fact, the only time Les Mis wasn’t considered an overwhelming success is when it first debuted as a novel. At that time, the book was met with many critics who file that author Victor Hugo’s winding narrative was too con...
