Ciro Santilli - There will be blood (2007). business and cynicism. Also great music.
- Don't Look Up (2021). politics.
One of the most nerve wrecking movies ever made. Until they decide to rescue their colleague from jail, then it just becomes too surreal.
Good theory of Jesus.

There is only a very fine difference between a very good film, and the best films of all time. Perhaps it is something to do on how epic the subject matter is? It is often very hard to tell, and switches between the categories are also possible.
Has the best opening scene of all time.
Top quotes:
- 3 evil guys: looks like we're short one horse. The good guy, shaking his head: you brought two too many.
- "So, you found out you're not a businessman after all." dialogue, see: www.imdb.com/title/tt0064116/characters/nm0000314

Ciro Santilli's father, an avid history reader, and in particular interested in the military dictatorship in Brazil through which he lived, once told Ciro how the French torture doctrine was directly adopted by Brazillian military, e.g. then even invited general Paul Aussaresses who had served in Algeria, to help them out with intelligence operations and give courses. Bro, fuck that.
But of course, the Americans weren't too far behind in Guantanamo.
Respect, big respect to those people.
