It is no doubt that racism has plagued our society, and that there are actually people out there who believe on race is superior to the other plus minorities. But, what if there was an actual legitimate way to cease racism? Well, "Imperium"  details how one guy (with the FBI's assistance) took down a major racist cult in order to prevent a catastrophe. Probably shocking to some, this film is based on real-life events that most likely occurred within the past decade, maybe in the late years of the last century. It is also terrifying and unfathomable that someone could be so hateful, (But then again, you've got: Adolf Hitler, Bin Laden, and Saddam). Today's racism is just as evil as these followers mentioned earlier, but it does match up to the supremacists that everso plague The U.S.A and the entire world.  In the film, it depicts at extreme lengths, how racism is a major global problem, therefore racism is an epidemic and it must be vanquished.

"Robert Redford" erects a true chilling and haunting depiction of the turmoil and chaos that occurred in our nation's capitol so many years ago. " The Conspirator" is a rare film that captures emotional essence,  that is what makes this a truly captivating historical drama film. To make it as 1800's looking as possible, the costumes in the film are dark, dreary and true to the set time period. Depicted with lots of emotion and depth, from the cast that  consists of: Jame...
