World Trade Center (2006)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Oliver Stone was able to portray part of the great heroes of the September 11, 2001 attack. 'World Trade Center' tells the story of the survival and rescue operation of two men, John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) and Will Jimeno (Michael Peña), who were trapped in the wreckage of the World Trade Center after helping the victims. This is a well-executed movie, with excellent performances, direction and editing. Without political artifices, the narrative focuses on the real-life heroes, family and the power of friendship. Despite this, of course, all the horror of the attack is present, but in a more succinct way.

Any Given Sunday
If love for the sport isn't enough to convince you to watch this movie, you should know that 'Any Given Sunday' is the movie that made Jamie Foxx a star and revolutionized the way American football is filmed. The movie highlights issues such as racism, sexism, age discrimination, sports journalism, public funding of stadiums, drug abuse, and health damage. Enough reasons to put 'Any Given Sunday' in the canon of great sports movies.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
After inspiring a whole new generation of investors, character Gordon Gekko returns right in the middle of the biggest US financial crisis since the 1930's. So this time, the message is harsher: greed is no good and money is evil. A great lesson on how our unchecked ambitions lead to our own downfall.
Wall Street
Watch the movie and open your eyes to the back scenes of the financial market. In its time, Wall Street was a harsh critique of the yuppie way of wealth accumulation, but don't be fooled: Gordon Gekko, Michael Douglas's character, inspired a whole new generation of investors. If before the phrase "Greed is good" seemed wrong, today it's a mantra.
Platoon
Oliver Stone is a veteran of the Vietnam War. Therefore, 'Platoon' is a portrait, even if fictional, that does justice to the conflict. A complete way to feel the horrors of war through an extremely realistic view.
JFK
How could a President of the United States of America have been exposed to such a great danger, leading to his assassination in Dallas in the year 1963? With a passion for controversy, director Oliver Stone delved deep into the subject and brought his own vision to the assassination of John Kennedy - which included a coup d'etat. Despite the good rhythm, the movie is long and many accuse it of being a work that, often times, yields to fantasy and conspiracy theories. If you too are passionate about these controversies and theories, JFK was made for you. At the very least, it will lead to heated discussions at a bar table.
Savages
"Wild" marks the return of American filmmaker Oliver Stone to a super violent and artificial style, more in line with movies like "Natural Born Killers" than sober biopics such as "JFK". The result is rather chaotic, perhaps with more preference for style than substance, but if you like that kind of action movie that borders on the absurd, you will love it. In addition, the cast is quite attractive, with a mix of young talent such as Aaron Taylor-Johnson ("Kick-Ass: A Superhero without Superpowers"), Taylor Kitsch ("John Carter: Between Two Worlds") and Blake Lively ("Gossip Girl") rubbing shoulders with established stars such as Benicio del Toro, Salma Hayek and Demián Bichir.
Snowden
Olive Stone is a controversial director. In 'Snowden: Hero or Traitor' this is once again confirmed, now with the story of the former agent who decided to reveal all the dirt of US intelligence. The feature film has its high points, mainly for bringing a closer look to Edward Snowden, but perhaps it gets lost a little in the clichés of cinema and the director himself. Still, it is a work that should be watched, analyzed and judged not only as a movie, but also as a political piece.
Alexander
This epic drama directed by Oliver Stone (from 'JFK') offers a vision of one of the greatest figures in human history, which is already a merit in itself. After all, Alexander the Great was one of the greatest leaders in history, who led Macedonia to conquer Persia, among other territories, and promoted a great Pan-Hellenic project, spreading Greek culture throughout the rest of the West - diffusing the arts, culture and leaving a legacy that still accompanies us today. As a movie, 'Alexander' is lacking by being too long and emotionally distant from the protagonist, which displeased the critics. Still, the period reconstruction, costumes and Stone's direction compensate. Also worth mentioning is the cast filled with stars, including Colin Farrell, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Val Kilmer, Jared Leto and many more.
Born On the Fourth of July
This is Tom Cruise's first major performance in his career, as he plays Vietnam War veteran Ron Kovic - and that alone makes the movie worth watching. But the work is more than that, becoming a true experience about the Vietnam War. Watch to understand what drove so many young men to sacrifice for their country, and so many others to criticize the US's interventionist policy.
Drama
Son of Monarchs
After his grandmother’s death, a Mexican biologist living in New York returns to his hometown, nestled in the majestic monarch butterfly forests of Michoacán. The journey forces him to confront past traumas and reflect on his hybrid identity, sparking a personal and spiritual metamorphosis.
Unclenching the Fists
In a small mining town in North Ossetia, Russia, a young woman feels suffocated by her family, living between rejection and love: a complicated life, to say the least. From there, the young Ada (Milana Aguzarova) begins to plan her long-awaited escape. Directed by Russian Kira Kovalenko, Unclenching the Fists won the main prize in the Certain Look section of the Cannes Film Festival, offering an insightful look into Russian society, mainly with regard to the women of the region.
The Last Film Show
From director Pan Nalin (Samsara), The Last Film Show is a semi-autobiographical film whose premise immediately calls to mind the classic Italian film Cinema Paradiso. The story follows a small rural Indian boy, Samay (Bhavin Rabari), who goes to the cinema for the first time and falls in love with it. Against his father's wishes, he decides to skip school and go back to the cinema again and again, where he becomes friends with the projectionist and learns more about making films. He and his friends decide to try to learn about light to project films, but gradually, Samay realizes that following his dream means leaving behind what he loves. With its nostalgic childlike discovery of something you love for the first time, plus countless references to filmmakers such as Tarkovski and Malick, The Last Film Show is an ode to the act of growing up and learning, with a subtle comment on the alleged accessibility of cinema as an art form for everyone.
Fanfic
According to the dictionary, fanfic is the abbreviation of the English term "fanfiction," which is a fiction created by a reader or viewer who, being a fan of a literary, film, theatrical, television or animation work, creates a continuation to the story or recreates it using their creativity. And that is the heart of the Polish romance Fanfic. Although the movie does not talk about anyone recreating a story, it does tell of two teenagers who come to love each other and need to find a way to express this love to the world, perhaps recreating this story with a lot of creativity. In a polished manner, reminiscent of comic book language, the movie speaks of love in youth with creativity, although it cannot escape those clichés that plague the genre to make it more enjoyable.
