Above the Best (2019)
Great Film!
David Salzberg, director of the Heroes of Valor Collection, presents Above The Best, a documentary about the Afghan war told through the soldier's perspective. Through the honesty of the bodycam footage, photos, and testimonies, I was able to understand the intense sense of challenge and brotherhood of war in a gracious way. Listening to Daniel Flores testimony, while also being able to experience his time in Afghanistan made the story come to life before my eyes. Seeing the interactions of the aviators and soldiers on the ground, beautifully illustrates the ability of American soldiers to risk their lives for those they have never met. Watching this film, gives a real understanding of sacrifice and what it takes to be able to act when others cannot.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)
An imaginative masterpiece
The characters were thoroughly represented in the movie! Phenomenal acting and great storyline, movie felt the same as reading the book!
Empathy, Inc. (2018)
EMPATHY, INC.: Where reality becomes twisted!
Empathy, Inc., places the audience into a unique dystopian world, where reality and fabrication are interlaced. Yedidya Gorsetman's use of the films dark monochromatic style, blurs the lines of good and evil, transforming the characters into their own worst enemy. As the films protagonist, Joel (Zach Robidas), attempts to control his shadow self and understand the hidden agenda of others, Gorsetman uses the symbolic technique of "fall off lighting," keeping the audience in suspense. The specific cinematography choices puts the audience in Joel's perspective, joining his quest to find the balance, or gray area. This film connects to those searching for a better understanding of morals in a not so black and white world.
