The Great Battles on film
19 titles |
Public
In 1851 Edward Creasy published "The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World." He argued that history would have been changed beyond recognition if the losing side in those battles had been victorious instead. Whether or not he was correct, nobody can argue that warfare is full of drama, and the Great Battles have possibly more than most.
A Fate Worse Than Death (spoilers)
13 titles |
Public
The death penalty does not deter crime, according to comparisons between states which have one and states that do not. Nor does it deter movie bad guys – how many mooks, heavies, and arch-villains have been terminated by James Bond, only to have a new set appear in the next film? I greatly prefer it when the evil-doer is still breathing at the end of the movie, but has the opportunity to contemplate the futility of a life of crime. Following are some good examples of cinema just desserts, but, obviously, every one is a spoiler.
