"Buñuel’s work is very important to me because it made me understand how far you can go with imagination and still be so close to reality. For me, The Exterminating Angel is so real—maybe Buñuel wouldn’t be happy to hear me say that because he’s not famous for his realism. But even if it’s a surrealistic parable, I’ve been so many places where I felt like I was living inside the feeling of this movie. It’s like a documentary about society. When I was making my movie Happy as Lazzaro, I surveyed movies that all talk about how to be good, because Lazzaro is a good man. Viridiana came up as something to watch."

"In a year filled with epochal films—Sunset Boulevard, All About Eve, the great In a Lonely Place—this 1950 noir may have secretly had the greatest impact. Every heist film or let’s-get-a-team-together caper of the last seventy years owes a huge debt to Huston’s twisting and intense thriller, whose delightful ensemble cast features a bright-eyed Marilyn Monroe (then just about to take over Hollywood) and a grizzled Sterling Hayden (who was already looking to leave the industry altogether). The final moment is a genuine heartbreaker—as is the documentary about Hayden on the Criterion edition, which finds the great actor living on a boat, seemingly set adrift from society."

Escape Plan- takes two big actons stars and throws them into a prison and escape it. Opps did i spoil it. Its in the title.

The Plot: Tough and chiseled Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) knows how to infiltrate a prison -- and bust out of one. His latest job leads to a double-cross, leaving him stuck in a high-tech facility with the worst that society has to offer. Luckily for Ray, he meets Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), an inmate who secretly helps him hatch a plot to win his freedom. Only sadistic warden Hobbes (Jim Caviezel) stands in the way of the two men successfully making it out alive.

I would highly reccordmend this movie.

Some impactful imagery

Likely animal cruelty (0 more)

To break, broke, broken

This film is so many things. Sad, darkly beautiful, surreal, humorous, grotesque... I could go on. It’s certainly a lot to take in and a lot to consider. Some moments so visceral it’s painful to watch. With its commentary on humanity and society and its impactful imagery it is a film I will not soon forget.

If it weren't for the probably unsimulated animal cruelty depicted in the film I would give it a fairly high score. If you can endure that there are moments of the film worth seeing. But I don’t blame a person for steering clear of it.
