How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A visceral, formally audacious account of mutiny and massacre that uses explosive montage to turn political rage into pure cinema. The film feels less like narrative and more like a hammer blow.

not entirely my thing but i like when the sailors try to help the people but that is all in vein as they get attacked.
its a great commentary about how good deeds are often drowned out or washed away by evil higher ups.
