...that, if he asks nicely, maybe radical Islamists won't want to kill us. He's a Rodney King figure pleading for people to just get along. And even if Spurlock's one-man Peace Corps campaign doesn't work, he'll have fun trying. More fun than the viewer, sometimes. While embedded with U.S. troops in Afghanistan, he gets to fire a rocket launcher. His reaction, and you could have guessed this: "That was awesome!" He also has advice for the locals. To attract tourists, Spurlock suggests, they should build a theme park. "You could say, 'Come to Tora...
...colors do more than add vibrancy; they help Goya tell his story. Released from decades of yellowed varnish, a tiny white spot in The Second of May draws the gaze to a horse's muzzle, and from there, up to the animal's penetrating eyes, which stare at the viewer in terrified accusation, as if to say, "Look at what you've done."

To protect his work from becoming dated, he tries to make every piece as objective as possible. He claims, somewhat counterintuitively, that he achieves this by first accepting himself, then accepting others...
...characters who are often ugly, spiteful, and selfish. In a film that focuses almost entirely on complex human relationships, the frigid settings represent the brutal and unforgiving manner in which the characters interact. The gripping storyline and nuanced performances in “Snow Angels” force viewers not only to invest their time but also their psychology and emotions in a story about the destructive power of love and loss. Green, noted for works that explore the subtle intricacies of everyday life, doesn’t stray very far from the familiar in “Snow Angels...
