Pinocchio
11.12. I love the artistry and the character designs of this film, but the flawed story and narrative ruins it for me.

Education of a Felon: A Memoir
11.12. Edward Bunker was one badass motherfucker. He was a career criminal, but he was also a great writer.

Selected Writings of Martin Luther
6.12. A highly exhausting collection of writings by Martin Luther. These essays, speeches and letters are barely anything compared to the vast body of this man's bibliography, but I think I got the picture. Martin Luther was quite a personality himself, always keen on making his voice heard and talking with people, at one time a priest told him to finally stop as he started confessing so many and so meaningless sins the poor man couldn't stand it any longer. Martin Luther was a great writer, but most of his wordplay and humor have sadly been lost in the translation. I think the man was at his best in his less formal letters where he could express himself just as he liked it without too much thinking. I'm not surprised they didn't include his writings about Jews even on the list of his works, but I found the book somewhere else. Luther is known to have said in his later years that if he could he would gladly burn all of his works just so people would rather read the Bible instead of his ramblings, so you know he probably didn't mean his books to be taken that seriously. Oh yeah, my favourite quote is from one of his speeches: "I wish I would become a ghost after my death so I could haunt all the godless priests and monks of this world."

The First World War: An Illustrated History
5.12. A classic among WW1 literature, it's about 400 pages long with facts after facts with zero filler. It's supposed to give a clear overview of the main events of the Great war and not focus too much on lesser battles and people, but what it does, it does extremely well. An essential read for anyone who's interested in the topic.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
4.11. In your face macabre satire. For politicians people are just pawns and lambs to be slaughtered, I doubt Kubrick even understood how close to the reality he actually was, since during the Cuban Crisis the Soviet forces chose to launch the nuclear war but were prevented by one general who lost half of his crew on a nuclear submarine accident. Now that's a helluva story for another day.

The Woman King
4.11. A not very historically accurate depiction of an African tribe. It's visually good looking, but I wouldn't have wanted to see too obvious modern political leanings in my historical drama.

The Pity Of War: Explaining World War I
27.11. I don't think this was really that good. Sure, it covered a wide variety of topics from pre-war politics to economy and propaganda, but maybe it went a little too far instead of just focusing on fewer subjects with more depth.

Apocalypse Now
27.11. One of the all time greatest films. Considering how catastrophic the creation of this thing was it's a true miracle how good the end product ended up being.

Paths of Glory
26.11. A film loosely based on French military mutiny of the late Great War. Around that time Frech army was severy exhausted and people were demanding peace, mutinies arose but they were taken down and they took bunch of the rebels and executed them as warning to the rest of them. The mutinies also ended up having to make changes to the tactics and logistics, but that isn't mentioned in the film. Wonderful film, well researched and executed realism of war, but little exaggerated in few places.
