Hong Kong Films!

1. American interest for Kung Fu movies was largely influenced by Bruce Lee, a kung fu instructor from San Francisco.
2. The Shaw Brothers basically wrote the rule book for modern martial arts movies.
3. City on Fire, heist film which some believe was Tarantino's influence for Reservoir Dogs.
4. When the UK gave the control of Hong Kong back to China many directors left in fear of artistic oppression.
5. Jackie Chan differed from the normal Kung Fu stars by mixing action and comedy.

Citizen Kane vs. Rashomon

Both films used flashbacks, but the flashbacks in Citizen Kane told the truth, while the flashbacks in Rashomon lied because it was being told from different, unreliable sources. Both films view the same events from different points of view. Citizen Kane is about one man, but Rashomon is about a situation, yet both films say something about man and humanity.

Movies that f*ck with time!!!!

These films are similar in that they all play with time in a certain way. Some show different viewpoints of the same event, while some jump around in time, not showing the events in the usual chronological order.
The films differ, however, in the reason or effect of the time manipulation. Memento uses it to lead up to the twist at the end of the film, which actually happens at the beginning of the sequence of events. Jackie Brown uses it to show different perspectives of the money tradeoff, which builds suspense for the final events.
