What Are Some Movies With Thematically Focus on the Struggle for Human Dignity?

Question by Mikey Gregor: What are some movies with thematically focus on the struggle for human dignity?
I’d also like some about the complexity of human relationships, coming of age/loss of innocence/growing awareness, and moral or philosophical riddle.

Answer by Evil_Whino
1. Shame (2011) – “Although handsome New Yorker Brandon Sullivan is outwardly reserved, inside he’s seething with an overwhelming sexual addiction. But when his uninhibited younger sister invades his life, Brandon struggles to control his self-destructive behavior.”

2. Gran Torino – “Curmudgeonly Korean War vet Walt must confront his Hmong immigrant neighbors — and his own prejudices — when their teenage son Thao tries to steal Walt’s beloved 1972 Gran Torino. Walt soon assumes the unlikely role of guardian angel to young Thao.”

3. Stand by Me – “our boys seek adventure and heroism in the Oregon woods with their search for a missing teen’s dead body in the 1950s. What they uncover about themselves along the way, however, means even more.”

4. 21 Grams – ” tragic car accident brings together three strangers — a teacher (Sean Penn) with a weak heart, a former drug addict (Naomi Watts) turned housewife and an ex-con (Benicio Del Toro) who’s found Christ — forcing them to face their darkest fears, reevaluate their lives and seek redemption.”
