some other great movies i've seen recently

Here is a brief list of some GREAT films I've seen recently thanks to our film night & discussion we're doing following up the ¿Qué ves? outreach.

The Red Violin (French: Le Violon rouge, German: Die Rote Violine, Italian: Il Violino Rosso, traditional Chinese: 紅提琴) is a Canadian film (1998)

It's about the life of a violin and is a REALLY excellent film. And it's fun because there is a mix of French Canadian, French, English, German, Italian, and Chinese.



The Lives of Others (original German: Das Leben der Anderen), a German film from 2006, also EXCELLENT. About Naxi Germany, but also talks a lot about what it means to be free, or not. The original version is obviously in German.


Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is also a great film, but a bit less obscure. It's interesting to watch it thinking about relationships.

And the other films we've watched this semester include Batman Begins & the Matrix, which are also great films, but not quite in the same category as the one's I've just mentioned.

Hey, and if you have any suggestions for good films that would also lend to discussion afterward, PLEASE comment and suggest them. Thanks!
