More Howard Shanker Movies
Here are even more relevant movies that Howard Shanker might enjoy, based on stance on environmentally-friendly, sustainable development and growth, war, comprehensive healthcare and social services, and governmental abuse.
Precious
This film, based on the novel Push by Sapphire, is about an obese, illiterate black 16-year-old, who struggles to get through the hardships of her young life, which includes getting raped and impregnated twice by her father, chronic physical and mental abuse from her mother, and being saddled with one child with Down’s Syndrome. Oh, and becoming HIV-positive. One of her glimmers of light comes in the form of a seen-it-all social worker who stops long enough to care.
The Hurt Locker
This Oscar winner directed by Kathryn Bigelow wisely doesn’t take a hard stance about the war in Iraq, eschewing the war in the background in order to focus on U.S. bomb diffusers’ dangerously volatile, daily grind.
Chinatown
This film, directed by Roman Polanksi, takes the environmental theme, merging it with the governmental conspiracy theme, then baking it in an oven at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. With a little sprinkle of film noir, you’ve got a masterpiece of a film that you know Howard Shanker would root for.
Howard Shanker hasn’t made known his stance known on online gambling and slots: but if he did gamble online, he’d probably visit a casino that accepts US players.
