Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

This will tug at anyone's heart as they see a glimpse of what socialism degrades to. They brainwashed the children and made them kill the adults by asphyxiation..... plastic bag strangulation. Hence the title.....The Killing Fields. A very ugly reality of Cambodian history....
American Sniper for me . I watched it in two different theaters on two consecutive nights and both times it had the same affect on the audience after the closing scene at the end of the movie . There was no talking or any noise at all . People just quietly got up and made their way out the exit and most were still sobbing . It was total reverence .
Historically accurate according to records and family interviews. I was blessed and honored to have this good movie ordered and played for my class personally on the big screen at the local multiplex theater.
I voted for Defiance for the Academy Awards and Writers Guild Award for "Best Screenplay From Another Medium" for the 2008 awards. Did not win ... but it should have. One helluva movie.

That is so cool Leanwolf! I too think it was very well written and didn't get near the credit it deserved. The actors roles were excellent, but not nearly what the script contributed IMHO. That's another honor I have to hear from an actual screenplay writer . 😃👍
I'm retired now, but as stories often begin ... "Once upon a time, long ago ..."

Many historians would argue against the historical inaccuracies, but this was one of the most magnificent movies Mr. Gibson ever stared in. Americans don't learn from history, so perhaps they need a little entertainment to encourage the ideals of Freedom.
Progressives are the most open minded, tolerant, and inclusive people on the planet, as long as you agree with everything they say, and do exactly as you're told.

We'll that's pretty special to know that you have great taste not only in westerns, but in this genre of movie as well. The character development was beyond my ability to properly describe.
We are very gladly familiar with Gunsmoke. Have you written for any feature length movies?

Here's another underrated drama that didn't get the attention it deserved. This is the story of two best friends who competed together in long range events. They were on their way to the olympics when war broke out. They found themselves on opposite sides of the war. It's not a high adrenaline adventure, but a drama that any man would enjoy. It's not a chick flick, so some might not like it. Lol
