film-makers versus the manipulations films have suffered from the origins of the cinema to the total domination of the audiovisual world. "Filmmakers vs. Tycoons" combines different types of film language: archive material, key fragments of films, and fictional scenes, such as that set in the Court of Felipe II when the Monarch cuts down a cinemascope picture by Titian on both sides because it doesn't fit into the space he had kept for it in El Escorial. The King of Spain thus became the inventor of panning-scanning which, in our time, alters the original format of films. Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.

It is the early 60s in France. The remaining survivors of the aborted French Foreign Legion have made repeated attempts to kill DeGaulle. The result is that he is the most closely guarded man in the world. As a desperate act, they hire The Jackal, the code name for a hired killer who agrees to kill French President De Gaulle for half a million dollars. We watch his preparations which are so thorough we wonder how he could possibly fail even as we watch the French police attempt to pick up his trail. The situation is historically accurate. There were many such attempts and the film closely follows the plot of the book. Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.

This is an English language film (made in America) adapted from a novel by German author Erich Maria Remarque. The film follows a group of German schoolboys, talked into enlisting at the beginning of World War 1 by their jingoistic teacher. The story is told entirely through the experiences of the young German recruits and highlights the tragedy of war through the eyes of individuals. As the boys witness death and mutilation all around them, any preconceptions about "the enemy" and the "rights and wrongs" of the conflict disappear, leaving them angry and bewildered. This is highlighted in the scene where Paul mortally wounds a French soldier and then weeps bitterly as he fights to save his life while trapped in a shell crater with the body. The film is not about heroism but about drudgery and futility and the gulf between the concept of war and the actuality. Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.
