Armadillo (2010)
Armadillo is a relevant movie like no others!
The war documentary Armadillo shows both the fragile and the hard side of the Danish soldiers in Afghanistan, and it shows how the Danish soldiers develop black humor in order to get a distance from the serious war. It is furthermore realistic and objective and it will certainly start an important social debate. It is striking how much this war looks like the Vietnam war. The movie also debates what a war hero is. Where shall we draw the line? Are you a hero if you shoot some Talebans? Apparently yes. It also shows that this war is very hard to the civilians, and that they are trapped between two sides. If they help the "intruders" aka the USA, Denmark and so on then Taleban will come after them, but if they help Taleban, then the "intruders" will come after them. Though the film is serious it also contains "epic" boyish fun so to speak, and that gives an extra facet to the movie. Armadillo is an utmost relevant movie, and therefore it is a must-see!
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
The movie is split up in four parts. 1: "the dawn of man". 2: "The moon part". 3: "The journey to Jupiter". 4: Perhaps "a journey into the future".
I bought this fantastic movie "2001: A Space Odessey" for only 30 danish kroner (about 5 dollars), because it was so cheap, and I thought: Why not!? But I saw something I did not expect, but it was way better, than I could imagine. After watching it I realized that "2001" is abstract art of a so far unknown dimension I had never thought was possible.
This movie would definitely suck, IF we humans had no brain: The movie leaves us with a billion gasillion gadillion questions, it ends open, and you can interpret the story in so many unthinkable ways. I especially like the symbols! The bone, I think, is a symbol of the first creative thought. It was a tool for the primitive monkey to get more power, but then the bone suddenly turns into a space ship. How much more civilized can we get!? This movie is controversial, yet brilliant, and therefore it deserves freaking 10 out of 10!!
