Umizaru (Japanese) / by Paul Miller

User review

"Umizaru" - (Japanese for Sea Monkeys the slang for the Japanese Coast Guard) is the story of 14 young Japan Coast Guard officers who take part in a tough training to become rescue divers. The film takes us through their 50-day training. Senzaki is one of the top recruits and he is paired with the most unlikely candidate of the 13 other recruits; Kudo. With his love for the ocean and diving, work as a rescue diver at sea seemed like the perfect occupation for Senzaki. His journey from cynicism to become a better man takes us through finding and loosing a buddy - to finding a community to belong in. It is an amazing and emotional journey for us all.

V for Vendetta / by Eivind F Skjellum

By user request Iconic graphic novel turned Hollywood block buster, V for Vendetta tells the story of a masked avenger’s retribution against his government for the horrors inflicted upon him and its people. More than a story about one man’s personal Vendetta, V  is a story about a society caught in the grip of unconscious, power-hungry men. A powerful piece of countercultural storytelling, V for Vendetta has inspired a generation of anti-institutionalists.

Introducing The TribeJanuary 31, 2011

Men: The era of the lone wolf is over. It's time to connect!

I'm excited to invite you to the new part of the Masculinity Movies website - The Masculinity Movies Tribe.

Why would you want to join The Tribe? I don't know what is true for you, but what is true for me is that my life has seen dramatic improvements as the depth and intensity in my relating with close male friends (Brothers) has increased.

And now I crave that sort of depth in all areas of my life. Truth-telling is my new hobby. Once I went there, it's so uninspiring to turn back to trivial and mundane conversations (not that I mind superficial conversation, it's just that I want that edge BAD).

So I'm excited to invite you to join the growing Tribe, to practice honing that edge and to see if my experience will also be yours. It will take some time to build the energy, but in the end I think it will kick serious ass. Welcome!

How do the two of them keep the sacred fires burning even in the bleakest, most agonizing circumstances? The Road takes us deep into the father son relationship at the end of civilization.
