Watched 2 films, IRON MAN and 夕岚之街 樱之国 (Yûnagi no machi sakura no kuni). They're both very different in genre: the former, a based-on-superhero-comic summer blockbuster, the latter, a touching story centres on two generations of a family that were victims of atom bombing of Hiroshima.
IRON MAN spoke volumes to my inner child and I rank it up there with Spider-Man 2 and Batman Begins.
memorable quotes:
Reporter: Mr. Stark, you've been called the Da Vinci of our time; what do you say to that?
Tony Stark: Absolutely ridiculous, I don't paint.
Reporter: What do you say to your other nickname, the 'Merchant of Death'?
Tony Stark: That's not bad.
However, it was the Japanese based-on-manga 夕岚之街 樱之国 that really touches my heart. Although fictional, it would've been true stories of many victims that were left alive but physically and emotionally scarred by horror that brought WW2 to an end.
memorable quotes:
“原子弹不是自己掉下来的，是被人投下来的。”
“不能再把什么责任都推到原子弹上面去了！”
Both films get thumbs up.
