My favorite movie of 2013 is Django Unchained. I enjoyed the twist of a slave being the main protagonist and embarking on a journey to free his wife. I liked the action and the dialogue of all the characters and was impressed at the costumes and scenery of the slavery time period. This movie challenged me to reconsider the stereotype of slaves and proposed an alternate reality of slaves fighting against their masters. I saw this movie as an electronic copy on the internet.
My favorite movie of all time is Saving Private Ryan. It brought brutal images of World War II to life in a very dramatic fashion. It didn't glorify the violence at all but instead displayed the human sacrifices men had to make in order to survive on a daily basis. I enjoyed the portrayal of Soldier camaraderie, the pondering over moral dilemmas arising during wartime, and the climatic battle scene where a few American Soldiers stood their ground against a well armed German attack. This movie has made me rethink the "value" of war because it causes so many promising young lives to be cut short. I first saw this movie on video cassette.
"Saving Private Ryan" had a big effect on me too, seeing the human side of soldiers.
