Hell in the Pacific - 1968 - John Boorman

I am posting this film link for only two simple reasons:

1) Toshiro Mifune is one of my favorite actors of all time.

2) John Boorman directed this film.

If you saw Deliverance certain aspects of this film will be familiar to you.

Irezumi - Masumura Yasuzo - 1966

The challenge in the film is to understand the real source of Otsuya's rage.

What do you think the spider tattoo means? Perhaps it represents the expectations of men which silently and invisibly (she can't see the tattoo on her back but felt the pain of receiving it) have altered her life.

Why do you think Otsuya and not some other woman received this tattoo - was it just for her beauty?

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - John Huston - 1948

In this film Huston seemed most interested in revealing and examining that Lockean aspect of human character or morality which resists corruption even though a situation might strongly invite it.

The Getaway - Sam Peckinpah - 1972

I think this film is a type of 'thought experiment' by Peckinpah - if a person really values money and the comfort that money can bring more than anything else, is it even possible for any moral values to remain in that person?  Do you, basically, lose everything when you live to make money?
