The 4+1 of the best films released in recent years and you need to see

The new millennium has proved – so far – a particularly exciting period for cinema, since thousands of filmmakers around the world have filmed thousands of films, many of which have been shown in the dark rooms, yielding billions to film studios and even today are still a subject of discussion. Although many films debuted during the 2000s, and even received good reviews, there are some films that stood out from the rest, as they have been indelible in our memory and we continue to watch them (again and again) with the same interest. American Psycho (2000) In New York, 1987, Patrick Bateman, a cold Wall Street stockbroker possessed by the psychosis of social display, engages simultaneously in horrible murders, rapes, and cannibalistic acts, which no one perceives, perhaps because they are his fantasies. Based on the self-titled book and directed by Mary Harron, American Psycho divided many viewers and critics causing ambiguous comments. This film highlighted the outstanding Christian Bale, one of the most important contemporary actors. 25th Time (2002) Monty Borgan is sentenced to seven years in prison for drug trafficking. The last twenty-four hours before he gets into jail he does an introspection on how he got there, meets with his father and friends and tries to figure out who ratted him out to the police. Existential drama with New York background after 11 September. One of Spike Lee’s most substantial films. The City of God (2002) The City of God depicts the development of organized crime in the suburb of Cidade de Deus (City of God) of Rio de Janeiro, from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. The focus is the war between drug dealer Li’l Zé and former drug wartimer who went through the Knockout Ned crime. Her motto is: “If you run, the beast will catch you, if you remain, the beast will eat you”. Blood Will Pour (2007) “Blood will be shed” is an epic film about family, faith, power and oil, which takes place in California at the turn of the century, during the oil boom season. The story describes the rise of Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day – Lewis), who from a penniless miner raising his own son, turns into an oil magnate. Memento (2000) “Memento” is a 2000 American neo-noir film directed and written by Christopher Nolan. It is based on Jonathan Nolan’s Memento Mori, the director’s brother. As it concerns the case, Leonard suffers from temporary memory loss, resulting in him not remembering what happened 15 minutes ago. He builds his recent past with notes on Polaroid photos, while at the same time looking for his wife’s killer.
