The Man Who Broke 1,000 Chains (1987)
Empathy-provoking film

I was really touched by the realism in this movie. Kilmer portrayed an average guy, like any you or I might know, who gets thrown into a completely brutal environment. I found myself wanting to shout at the screen for the injustice of it! Kilmer looks just like someone close to me, which gave me even more empathy for his character. He could have been my brother, and I think the movie would have stirred up the same feelings of compassion.
The brutality of this film was actually a bit much for me, but so was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I thought parts of the movie were a little too gory.
I enjoyed all of what I didn't have to shield my eyes for. Well--enjoyed is a strange word for this movie--I appreciated it.
