Hello CineTV
Sometimes we avoid controversy but other times we jump into it with both feet. The movies that were chosen for this contest were supposed to rile people up and make them uncomfortable in some way. Unfortunately, I feel like a lot of movies that may not have been attempting to be controvesial, are deemed that way now. So the list of "controversial" movies may be longer than not that long ago.
Either way, I am grateful to everyone that entered into the contest! There were some interesting choices and I am excited to get into them.
Let's get to the winners!
First Place
The first place finisher was @irenenavarroart with a choice of Falling Down, found here: https://peakd.com/hive-121744/@irenenavarroart/cinetv-contest-falling-down-
I watched this movie when I was younger and it captivated me. A movie about a man pushed to his breaking point and in some ways you feel some sympathy for him. A great controversial movie. Congrats!
Second Place
The second place finisher was @mairene1 with a choice of The Passion of the Christ found here: https://peakd.com/hive-121744/@mairene1/cinetv-contest-the-passion-of-the-christ
I can understand the controversy in this movie for sure. Mel Gibson's film is a brutal depiction of the treatment of Jesus. A great film and a great choice!
Third Place
The third place finisher was @wisejg with their choice of The Exorcist, found here: https://peakd.com/hive-121744/@wisejg/cinetv-contest-the-exorcist-feel-the-real-horror
The Exorcist is a great choice for a controversial movie. Horror filled thriller that has freaked out people for years. Thank you!
Congrats!
450 CINE COINS will be transferred to the winners.

Movie That Represents Your Country
Each of us comes from somewhere, and our tastes and culture tend to be influenced by our upbringing. Not only that, but I believe that our movies become a mirror for what is happening in our cultures or a glimpde into our past or future.
While I am from the United States of America, I know that we have people here from vastly different backgrounds. I am excited to see what movies you think exemplify where you are from.
The contest is pretty simple. Pick a film that you think represents your country. It could be in a positive or negative light. Make sure to give the reasons why you think it reflects your country. How does the movie make you feel? Is it accurate to your life and culture? What could have made the movie better in terms of representing your country? Did you find yourself realting to the characters and their story?
Those are just some ideas, feel free to come up with your own interpretation. But please be original and give us reasons to beleive why you selected that movie.
I look forward to reading all of your selections!
Please check out the list of rules and suggestions below or feel free to ask me in the Discord channel if you have any questions (caulderfreeman). Enjoy this week's contest and good luck!
