- Poster: ![Poster](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/qkbdcql1tvas4c2hprgg.jpg)
- Battle4life Brief: Human's brutalism in an ultra-modern environment within a mesocosm of a high rise. This is a bat shit crazy movie that slowly unfolds the degenerating mentality through the stunning soundtrack and mesmerizing cinematography. Also Tom Hiddleston is naked on a balcony in this film to top it off.
- Description: Life for the residents of a tower block begins to run out of control.
- IMDB: [https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjFjsKjqs7MAhXFqqYKHUTjBoQQFggsMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Ftitle%2Ftt0462335%2F&usg=AFQjCNGyBXMb9uObC3g0kDACYhgxZ6tCTQ&sig2=u7UzGcykHkw55eqOBWQBjQ&bvm=bv.121421273,d.dGY](https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjFjsKjqs7MAhXFqqYKHUTjBoQQFggsMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Ftitle%2Ftt0462335%2F&usg=AFQjCNGyBXMb9uObC3g0kDACYhgxZ6tCTQ&sig2=u7UzGcykHkw55eqOBWQBjQ&bvm=bv.121421273,d.dGY)

- Poster: ![Poster](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/imnpqaetsqongm2mmi2r.jpg)
- Battle4life Brief: A film that make you want to punch the living shit out of its protagonist. The story follows a corrupted London's detective on his climb to the top. However, the descend to madness of James McAvoy's character always keep the audience in the dark through psychotic moments. Guaranteed a better ending than Shamalamadingdong's stuff.
- Description: A corrupt, junkie cop with Borderline Personality Disorder attempts to manipulate his way through a promotion in order to win back his wife and daughter while also fighting his own borderline-fueled inner demons.

- Director: Steven Knight
- Poster: ![Poster](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/scl7czm9umqxyyjpu0ss.jpg)
- Battle4life Brief: An unique cinematic experience. The film sets entire within a SUV and its only thespian is Tom Hardy. A full on 1h25 of only Tom Hardy. The story follows the consequence of an untimely decision that vibrates throughout every aspect of one's fortune. Not recommended for claustrophobia.
- Description: Ivan Locke, a dedicated family man and successful construction manager, receives a phone call on the eve of the biggest challenge of his career that sets in motion a series of events that threaten his carefully cultivated existence.

### 4. [Midnight Special](https://listium.com/@Wahid/2882/top-humanity-related-films/3/midnight-special)

Item ID: `3`

- Year: 2016
- Director: Jeff Nichols
- Poster: ![Poster](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/rd1wdmmdkhlpxtrablam.jpg)
- Battle4life Brief: An exquisite synthesis between sci-fi and psychology. A boy with a special "talent" is on the run from the CIA/FBI with Kylo Ren in the pursuit. The film examines the cult's mentality and the faith of men in exposure to celestial events. The ending of this movie is simply magnificent and leaves you with a hint of existential doubt.
- Description: A father and son go on the run, pursued by the government and a cult drawn to the child's special powers.
- IMDB: [https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwijhJq8p87MAhVj2KYKHftXCcQQFghBMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Ftitle%2Ftt2649554%2F&usg=AFQjCNHF3QcCbC6LcafP5QKjdSR3YSVu1g&sig2=vqmAt0xYg7R61dt8aWCeIQ&bvm=bv.121421273,d.dGY](https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwijhJq8p87MAhVj2KYKHftXCcQQFghBMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Ftitle%2Ftt2649554%2F&usg=AFQjCNHF3QcCbC6LcafP5QKjdSR3YSVu1g&sig2=vqmAt0xYg7R61dt8aWCeIQ&bvm=bv.121421273,d.dGY)

### 5. [Predestination](https://listium.com/@Wahid/2882/top-humanity-related-films/4/predestination)

Item ID: `4`

- Year: 2014
- Director: Spierig Brothers
- Poster: ![Poster](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/mojgnnu5gzmnrhq0m9ve.jpg)
- Battle4life Brief: And you think Inception is hard to grasp? Predestination's time traveling and underlying theme of destiny make Inception looks like Finding Nemo. A true mindfuck with a story that twists every neuron and leave you gasping for aspirin. Good flick to watch with your SO (including yourself).
- Description: The life of a time-traveling Temporal Agent. On his final assignment, he must pursue the one criminal that has eluded him throughout time.

### 6. [Snowpiercer](https://listium.com/@Wahid/2882/top-humanity-related-films/5/snowpiercer)

Item ID: `5`

- Year: 2013
- Director: Joon-ho Bong
- Poster: ![Poster](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/ax1jsuxnej4bk6nvplg0.jpg)
- Battle4life Brief: People might perceive this film as a representation of class struggle. But examining this movie from a psychological point of view and naturalism begins to emerge. Captain America is not fighting any shadowy-rogue agency in this film but will be fighting his own morality. Also wear something warm when watching because it gonna get real cold real fast.
- Description: Set in a future where a failed climate-change experiment kills all life on the planet except for a lucky few who boarded the Snowpiercer, a train that travels around the globe, where a class system emerges.

### 7. [Son of Saul](https://listium.com/@Wahid/2882/top-humanity-related-films/6/son-of-saul)

Item ID: `6`

- Year: 2015
- Director: László Nemes
- Poster: ![Poster](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/hvn2kngl6lybbjdt1mep.jpg)
- Battle4life Brief: How about a movie focuses on a forced laborer in a Nazi's concentration camp? The Nazi's inhumanity is not only in the fact that they purged races that they considered inferior, but forced the captives to assist in the mass killing of their own people. This Hungarian film does not hold back the brutality and savageness lying within its setting. It's a punch to your face and make you feel sorry for it.
- Description: In the horror of 1944 Auschwitz, a prisoner forced to burn the corpses of his own people finds moral survival upon trying to salvage from the flames the body of a boy he takes for his son.

### 8. [The Last King of Scotland](https://listium.com/@Wahid/2882/top-humanity-related-films/7/the-last-king-of-scotland)

Item ID: `7`

- Year: 2006
- Director: Kevin Macdonald
- Poster: ![Poster](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/gfa20dblcpzy7xlnujwh.jpg)
- Battle4life Brief: James McAvoy's breakthrough film trails the rise to power of Uganda's dictator Idi Amin (interesting film's title, which is actually a connotation to Amin's love for imperialist name). McAvoy is a field doctor and eventual confidant of the dictator himself. However, his naive and credulous qualities ultimately result in the collapse of his own belief and virtue, a devil's advocate, as the dictator shed his revolutionist cover and does what a dictator does best; extermination.
- Description: Based on the events of the brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin's regime as seen by his personal physician during the 1970s

### 9. [Trance](https://listium.com/@Wahid/2882/top-humanity-related-films/8/trance)

Item ID: `8`

- Year: 2013
- Director: Danny Boyle
- Poster: ![Poster](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/wr9tom1xhsaygghqw3jo.jpg)
- Battle4life Brief: Pure psychological thriller that take you to the edge of your scene at every scene of the film. You may already noticed that I enjoyed an unhealthy amount of McAvoy, but the man is a genius when coming to characters that have no clues what they're doing. The film starts with a simple art heist that went to the extreme south, reaching to the point of mental breakdown for each of its character. With orgasmic soundtrack and alluring cinematography, the film exclaims the delicacy of human's psyche. Watch this stoned for maximum effect.
- Description: An art auctioneer who has become mixed up with a group of criminals partners with a hypnotherapist in order to recover a lost painting.

### 10. [Moon](https://listium.com/@Wahid/2882/top-humanity-related-films/9/moon)

Item ID: `9`

- Year: 2009
- Director: Duncan Jones
- Poster: ![Poster](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/vb1zjjkcqzfbf8bpy7ly.jpg)
- Battle4life Brief: It is one of the best movie that thoroughly and vividly depicts the disposition of men. Instead of focusing on the sci fi aspect, Sam Rockwell's schizophrenia character is the nucleus of this cell and his range of performance is simply awe inspiring. This film is like cough syrup, too good and too sweet that you actually feel a kick from it.
- Description: Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet's power problems.
