Baader Meinhof Complex, The
Baader Meinhof Complex, The (2008)

IMDB rating: 7.40

Plot: Germany in the 1970s: Murderous bomb attacks, the threat of terrorism and the fear of the enemy inside are rocking the very foundations of the yet fragile German democracy. The radicalised children of the Nazi generation lead by Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Gudrun Ensslin are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past. Their aim is to create a more human society but by employing inhuman means they not only spread terror and bloodshed, they also lose their own humanity. The man who understands them is also their hunter: the head of the German police force Horst Herold. And while he succeeds in his relentless pursuit of the young terrorists, he knows he’s only dealing with the tip of the iceberg.

but Twisted by Laurie Halse Anderson is not really a murder type story but it is a drama that is really good. I found the book on ALA Young Adult website the author is also a New York Times Bestseller. The front panel reads: "Everybody told me to be a man. Nobody told me how."
umm. Thirsty by M.T. Anderson (National Book Award-Winning Author)
"A blend of camp horror and realistic adolescent turmoil"-The Horn Book
Also The Rag and Bone Shop. Im not sure who it was by. but it is a "drama tradgey murderish type story" Im also not sure if it won any awards but it was so good it prolly did.

sorry this answer was terrible. haha.

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (Newberry Medal)

Info: A delicious mix of murder, fantasy, humor and human longing, the tale of Nobody Owens is told in magical, haunting prose. A child marked for death by an ancient league of assassins escapes into an abandoned graveyard, where he is reared and protected by its spirit denizens.

"A child named Nobody, an assassin, a graveyard and the dead are the perfect combination in this deliciously creepy tale, which is sometimes humorous, sometimes haunting and sometimes surprising," said Newbery Committee Chair Rose V. Trevino.

Raging Bull (1980)

IMDB rating: 8.40

Plot: When Jake LaMotta steps into a boxing ring and obliterates his opponent, he’s a prizefighter. But when he treats his family and friends the same way, he’s a ticking time bomb, ready to go off at any moment. Though LaMotta wants his family’s love, something always seems to come between them. Perhaps it’s his violent bouts of paranoia and jealousy. This kind of rage helped make him a champ, but in real life, he winds up in the ring alone.

Just a few ?'s about Robert de Niro.Did he really shave his hair to a mohawk for Taxi Driver.?
and what exact years did he film the godfather II, taxi driver, the last tycoon, and raging bull? exactly how much weight did he put on for raging bull, im confused was it because of the muscle or the fat he had to gain to play an older jake lamotta, and did he have to gain in weight in muscles to play in cape fear, (he looks so ripped for his age in that movie, what was he like 50)
sorry for all the random questions, but i was just curious and plus i’m a huge fan.
thanks.


Yes, he did. Many dedicated actors change their body to fit the roles they play.
