Not sure if this a goofy question, but are the movies to be chosen that of what we are, or what we wish we could be, in the sense of philisophical/ideological/political beliefs?

Does that makes sense?


Yes, I understand the question. The idea initially was to choose films that represent in some way some part of what you believe, politically, socially, philosophically or any combination of those.
Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.

Ahh, so more so of what we are vs what we would want/wish to be.  Gotcha, thanks  That's my homework assignment now   ;)
