Thought provoking movies

By *astello OP Woman over a year ago

Far far away

I was just at Barbie in the cinema tonight. And yes, plenty of subtext to the movie in relation to patriarchy and female role models..

So whats you're stand out movie. It can be for any reason.

My daughter of 14 at Barbie - we get the message but there's no need to drill it into us

Couldn't agree more

If you want a movie with a message, Oppenheimer really has a seriously powerful one about the futility of war and having the best weapon

On a Christopher Nolan thread, kind of but not his movie, Joker also has an underlying message about mental health and what can happen when society doesn't deal with it properly.

Dunboyne

Not a movie but Dopesick left me seriously questioning ethics of big Pharma, much like the Mark Ruffalo movie about the Tefal manufacturers.

As for the judge in the The Trial of the Chicago 7? I'd hate to be looking for justice in America

Threads (1984) is really awful, but very thought-provoking.

Subtle as a sledgehammer that movie, I found it a difficult watch. It went right over the head of my 10 year old daughter though lol.

Agreed and loved the show. Hoping there will be a Roy Kent spin off.

somewhere

Porkys.....myself and 4 other 16 yr old friends laughed our heads off at this back in 81

A week later one of them was killed in a crash ....first friend to die ...thats what I think of when I think of the film.

Schlinders list.....for obvious reasons but to see the Red coat was very upsetting....

Spotlight ...again for obvious reasons....if you haven't seen it watch it on Netflix

Michael Collins

Hated school so missed out on so much learning about Ireland

The final 5 mins when Sinead is singing and they show his funeral is so powerful

Lake Eden

It was a movie my friend wanted to see in the cinema and I went along not knowing a thing about it. I found it really disturbing and still think about it a lot years later.
