Writer and producer of several controversial documentaries, he is the man of the people. The defender of the U.S. nation against corrupted politicians and big corporate companies that are greedy.  He has produced three shocking documentaries and my favourite is “Fahrenheit 911″ but I am going to take it step by step and start talking about “Bowling for Columbine”(2002).

untitled Cast: Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett

     Cast: Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Djimon Hounsou

     Director: Ridley Scott

 

     The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the senate, it’s the sand of the coliseum. The movie took 5 academy awards in 2001. Russel Crowe won his only Oscar, well deserved for his great performance. I got caught in the movie real quick and I got inspired by the main character who proved himself to be a true fighter, overcoming all the obstacles that he faces.
