Do my post, then gets my moneys
I really enjoyed watching Do The Right Thing. I liked the characters and how each had their own unique personality. At first I thought the movie was just a racial comedy but as I watched I noticed how much detail spike lee went into to get his message across. Although it wasn't ultra realistic like the Battle Of Algiers it had its own way of showing tension and I think that as the movie went on it was almost hard to watch because you could feel the tension and pressure building. When everything finally went down, it was just chaotic but wrapped up the movie well. Now that I have seen the movie I can definitely say I'll recommend it to others.
Where is Algiers again?
Okay, this is coming a bit late because I've been in Canada and I get no internet from my igloo.
Anyways, the battle Algiers wasn't my favorite movie of all time, but I can see the reason this movie was picked for social commentary. It was extremely realistic and because of the film style it almost looked like a documentary. The reason that I didn't fall asleep during this movie was because of all the confrontations and tension between the people in the movie. I was shocked at all the things that happened during the movie and thought it did a good job explaining what happened during the Battle of Algiers.

You see I have this condition...
I really enjoyed the movie Momento, and although I'm sure I missed a lot of subliminal messages during the movie, hopefully I'll pick up on them the next time around. I really liked how this movie strays from your typical movie by going backwards, but doesn't do it just for the sake of doing the film backwards. I liked how the character development in the movie worked. Where we started off beleiving every word people said (with the exception of teddy). Then ended up not trusting them at all as we were shown exactly what they had done to Lenny throughout the movie (once again, with the exception of teddy). It was a great movie and I hope to catch the little things I missed the first time through when I watch it again.
