The Great Hunt ch34 || Thom is badass. I do feel bad for him and Zera though. But the way he dealt with those assassins was pretty cool.

Since we already know how the story ultimately ends this is pretty much just shut your brain off and enjoy entertainment imo

I kinda dig it

[modern lichen]

I don’t think it’s like that at all

It’s all about the nuances and expansion in adaptation

The fact the show is making the source material so much better is good in itself

Didn’t mean it as a negative

[burnt lake]

Is it fine to start Dr who from this season

[worthy crypt]

yeah there's long running plots but usually theyre within the context of a season and the average episode is more of a self-contained thing. Maybe has some minor hunt/nod towards the season longer plot.

[burnt lake]

I see

I've been trying to watch it from what's available on Max but haven't had the time to catch up cause there's so much

[worthy crypt]

there are repeat characters that longer fans might appreciate more but its not like one piece where the current events are sitting on top of a massive mountain of all the stuff that came before. its more episodic generally

I have been stunlocked

Oldboy a masterpiece 😭

[raw gate]

One of us, one of us

Oldboy ||we turned this on randomly, all I knew was the hall way fight scene and I was expecting it to be similar to a korean john wick. Needless to say I have been flabbergasted ||

Oldboy ||villain is the biggest hater in cinema history ||

10/10

[raw gate]

Park Chan-wook greatness

I def agree

[tawny parcel]

Is that the director?

[raw gate]

10/10

Yeah

[tawny parcel]

I need to watch other movies of his immediately I already immediately want to rewatch oldboy and its 4am

[raw gate]

I recommend The Handmaiden

[modern lichen]

Decision to Leave is his newest work and it’s incredible

Alongside that there’s what Alex recommended as well

[tawny parcel]

Both are going on the ptw instantly

That shit had me gripped

[modern lichen]

Just check out his Vengeance trilogy

Lady Vengeance is one of the best films ever made imo

[tawny parcel]

I looked it up and oldboy is the second???

Are they ordered? Did I watch a 2nd movie without knowing?

[modern lichen]

Nah

They just have the common theme of vengeance

[tawny parcel]

Oh okay thats what I thought I just wasn’t sure

[modern lichen]

I am obsessed with the 3 body problem adaptation

So far really fucking good

[raw gate]

Gonna watch it tonight, Harsh

[amber zinc]

Watching Dune 1 this morning

So I can see Dune 2 in theaters tonight

[raw gate]

See it in IMAX, if you can. Either way, enjoy 🙏 It’s fantastic grub. Instant favorite, for me

[primal mason]

Do you guys ever feel that one day you might grow out of anime? I've been wondering about that lately.

[modern lichen]

yes

i kinda have

[raw gate]

Nah

[modern lichen]

i dont watch most anime these days, especially ongoing

but also, i prefer movies and tv and comics and books

i dont look at anime as a medium that i have special distinctions to direct my energy to

[raw gate]

In regard to anime specifically, I already watch it so infrequently. The only thing that will change is there being bigger periods of time in between me ending one anime and starting a new one, than there already is now. I’ll never start to discredit its function as a fictional medium, though. Like, “anime is for young people,” type of thing. Cause I genuinely do believe there’s a lot more anime catered to older people, and maybe I’ll only start to appreciate the narratives and themes that the medium provides as I grow older

[modern lichen]

yeah i dont see it as "this is supposed to be for kids and so i've grown out of it"

its like any other medium of animation that tells stories that i find can be interesting so i watch those or i read those manga

[crimson bane]

As we get older, it's fine to have your tastes and opinions change with you. Don't be surprised if you circle back onto animation after you've gone out to enjoy other forms of media. Going out of your norms might help you reappreciate what you saw in anime in the first place

[modern lichen]

oh i still enjoy the fuck out of animation, the new x-men show for example is accomplishing things live action could never do

finished episode 5 of 3 body problem, amazing

[primal mason]

OOOPS I POSTED THIS IN THE WRONG CHANNEL

But thank you for the opinions regardless

The performances are great but idk it hasn’t gripped me yet

I’m on episode 3 rn. I like it a lot

Episode 1 was awesome

[modern lichen]

It’s an anthology that tells a separate story each season, so keep that in mind

[amber zinc]

Yea like true detective

A friend recommended it to me

[modern lichen]

Yes

[amber zinc]

I saw Bob Odenkirk and Billy Bob Thornton in season 1 and knew I had to tap in

If Odenkirk is in something I’m definitely going to watch

That’s my GOAT

[pine wharf]

Yeah especially after BCS

[amber zinc]

BCS had arguably the greatest 8 episode run in TV imo

Second half of S5 and first couple of episodes of S6

Absolute heat

[brave orbit]

Weird picks lmao

I'd argue S3 had the best run of episodes

But S6 is peak

[pine wharf]

Nah from s6 e7 onward to the final episodes was fucking crazy

[amber zinc]

||Season 5 ep 6 through S6 ep 3 when nacho dies is up there in one of the best runs in TV history|| BCS s5 and S6

[pine wharf]

Watching that week by week was insane

[brave orbit]

I think the second half is stronger than the first tbh

7 onwards

1 and 2 arent that memorable

[pine wharf]

Better call saul || when Howard got clipped and then I had to wait 3 months for the aftermath ||

[amber zinc]

||this was when Nacho was running for his life. I thought S6 ep 1,2,3 were fantastic. 4,5,6 were good but 7 through the finale were great. The end of season 5 from Wexler V Goodman was amazing|| s5 and 6 BCs

[brave orbit]

Im more of a Winner Takes It All guy

[amber zinc]

I think I enjoyed BB a little bit better. But you could easily argue BCS was better

BCS never winning an Emmy is criminal btw

[brave orbit]

BB peaked at S4 and Ozymandias

BCS is consistently great

And it doesnt have the first part of BB S5

[amber zinc]

You didn’t like the first part of S5 of BB?

[brave orbit]

No

Terrible

[amber zinc]

Interesting

It definitely wasn’t as good as S4

But I didn’t mind beginning of S5

S5 ep 5 was amazing

Dune Part 2 was a hell of a movie

Just got out of it

[raw gate]

[proud fiber]

as a book reader, i was a little disappointed

but then after dune 2

i understood

[near echo]

I should watch Denis Villeneuve's other films

Ive seen his four biggest ones and love them all

The way he's able to casually swap between intimacy and an epic scope, and his senses as a designer, are what really catch my eye. His films have such a distinct visual aesthetic but the storytelling doesn't feel limited by it at all.

[modern lichen]

he's one of the few actor-directors who really is good at each craft

[primal mason]

is the dune movie series like a faithful adaptation as much as lord of the rings

[modern lichen]

yes

lord of the rings isnt very faithful either, it retains the wonder of the books really well

same with dune part 1 and 2

when it comes to adapting from one medium to another, changes are inevitable, dune's adaptational changes make it great in its own right

his video just obliterating the editing of suicide squad is a classic

finished 3 body problem

that was awesome

d&d know how to adapt stuff man

[white smelt]

D&D praise...

what a world we live in

[modern lichen]

they are good at adapting things

[tawny parcel]

Thinking more about looper from yesterday and maybe it wasn’t bad as bad as I thought, there were just 2 people talking next to me the whole time

But I still have a lot of issues with it

[modern lichen]

and they did a really good job adapting this behemoth of a book

looper is awesome

[scenic frost]

He said adapting things, not writing them

[modern lichen]

adapting is also rewriting and writing

[white smelt]

tbh got2 season two forward was dogshit

[scenic frost]

I was making a joke about the shitshow that was GoT

[modern lichen]

they rewrote portions of the book but they made it work perfectly

[tawny parcel]

Looper feels squandered imo, super interesting premise that doesn’t really do as much with it as I would like with it

[white smelt]

only season 1 is good, so they didn't really adapt it all that well

[modern lichen]

i love it until season 4

because they adapt the books faithfully

[white smelt]

they absolutely do not lol

[scenic frost]

After the source material ran out and they had to finish it

[tawny parcel]

Looper ||especially when it just becomes about the kid and rainmaker||

[modern lichen]

season 5 is meh, season 6 is only good in the last two episode, season 7 and 8 are ass throughout

i read the books i know its faithful to a major degree

they did delete a lot of details but it fits with the adaptation they created

[copper phoenix]

people like to shit on dumb and dumber but that fat ass george is to blame just as much

[modern lichen]

GOT ||what they did with lady stoneheart is actually beneficial for the show||

GOT ||what they did with euron and stannis however is a crime||

[scenic frost]

GoT ||What was supposed to happen? ||

[tawny parcel]

Is got still worth watching today

I have a friend who loves it and wanted me to watch it up to a certain point but I just haven’t

[modern lichen]

GOT ||euron is like an eldritch entity in the books, who worships and exercises the power of a lovecraftian deity, he's a mystery and a horror and an enigma, stannis is entirely rewritten to be utterly ineffectual, book stannis is a man made out of steel||

[scenic frost]

It's good enough till s6 I would say tho the earlier parts are much better

After that it's definitely dogshit

[modern lichen]

season 6's last 2 episodes are amazing

[tawny parcel]

I know that for sure i wasn’t even watching and I saw the shit show of the last two seasons

[modern lichen]

the other episodes are just meh setup but the setup pays off so fucking incredibly with those last 2 episodes

[scenic frost]

GoT || honestly from the early portrayals I thought that's what stannis was supposed to be lol ||

[copper phoenix]

euron "finger in the bum" greyjoy

[modern lichen]

GOT s6 ||the fact that jon's resurrection makes him a bitch lmfao||

[scenic frost]

GoT || like not his story but like the way the actor portrays him and stuff ||

[scenic frost]

GOT || sounds like show euron is just a different character with the same name ||

[modern lichen]

GoT s5 || book stannis is like if a slab of iron is brought to life and only fed with the ideas of justice and royalty, probably the only king who cares about his people and the kingdom, is aware of the threat from the Land of Always Winter beyond the Wall and is very much protective of his heir and daughter Shireen, he would never burn her at the advice of a priestess like Melisandre who is a lot more dangerous and terrifying in the books as well ||

[scenic frost]

GoT s5 || it wasn't even just that, it's just how stupid and ineffective he is shown to be that really ground my gears in early GoT. He had the vibe of a man who knew what he was doing while doing the randomest most incompetent shit||

[outer tulip]

So apparently it’s not actually cancelled like people thought but put on indefinite hold. And when they return it’ll be two years later, which is gonna be weird to do

I think they should just cancel Euphoria. That’s my show and all but I think its okay to cancel

[modern lichen]

sam levinson lost his credibility after euphoria s2 partly and then fully with the idol

[outer tulip]

Perhaps but what he did for the actors, good for them. Zendaya 2x Emmy winner. Sydney, Jacob and Storm always booked and busy now. Everyone else like Hunter all kinda floating around on someone’s radar. At this point I’d say many of them are beyond the show at this point

[modern lichen]

i am talking about his writing and his showrunning

[outer tulip]

Well I mean I liked season 2, I thought he wrote it well enough that if they cancelled it it’ll be fine. Cause everything the story was building up to pretty hit its breaking point. All that’s left is healing.

Idol though, he’ll need to seek redemption. That was a nightmare

[modern lichen]

obviously, with the idol, its the influence of the weeknd but its also that sam's movie malcolm and marie is also horribly written tripe that he put a self insert in to rant about critics

he hasnt been doing well lately

[outer tulip]

Maybe that’s what’s taking the season 3 script so long. He lost his touch

[modern lichen]

sam levinson needs those actors, the actors dont need euphoria anymore

[outer tulip]

Yeah that’s kinda why I think they should cancel it

[modern lichen]

angus cloud passing is also the nail in the coffin

the hunter schafer special actually worked because hunter schafer herself wrote the entire thing

[outer tulip]

[outer tulip]

[modern lichen]

the special episode with jules

[outer tulip]

Oh yeah. I ain’t even know that. She’s probably really talented and will be fine without the show

[young compass]

Did anyone see that Zone of Interest film?

[white smelt]

I was interested but the only showing in the area is north of you a ways away

[young compass]

||im a fan of indirect messaging but this was anything but that. It’s probably partly my fault for going in with that expectation (or the fault of those who told me about it) but the film was overt in its two hour repetition of the same exact message… that oft-cited “banality of evil” concept where our nature allows for an acceptance of violence. This was obviously the point, that the film is banal in the same manner, but do we really still believe in the hollowed concept, detached from Arendt’s initial thought and made into a platitude about humanity? That’s not what made the nazis the nazis, and it’s not what makes any current political position true either. And even if you disagree with that, does a film’s banal repetition of a banal message really cancel out the tediousness of the process? Or add anything to it beyond an initial realization on the part of the watcher to say “that WAS the point!” and pat themselves on the back? It feels more a hollow rationalization that ends up betraying the film’s nature by making its messaging too obvious as messaging. ||

Zone of interest

[young compass]

I didn’t like it

[white smelt]

Ah that's unfortunate. It seems to be getting a ton of praise. Especially after his award speech lol

[worthy crypt]

three body book 1 roughly 75% || Really liked the first contact message. It managed to be ominous in an unexpected/atypical way ||

[young compass]

Zone of interest ||i just see no use in a film of this sort. The circumstances that drive people to this behavior are historical and due to their surroundings rather than, once again, some underlying human trait. Which, though can be confused and isn’t exactly mutually exclusive, is made apparent in this film due to the constant acknowledgements of the tragedy and the awareness of it, being juxtaposed with their mundane lives. I’m certainly not supposed to come away from the film with the idea that this behavior is due to the contradictions that capitalism fomented and brought about Naziism’s furor and such, I’m supposed to think “oh wow that could be any person I see around town!”||

[scenic galleon]

I think people totally miss the point on it being about ||the banality of evil. I think it's more about the different ways denial manifests in the execution of atrocity, that despite however much you may be outwardly "ok" with committing horrible acts, there is a deeper, subconscious manifestation of your guilt that slips through the cracks of your facade||

[young compass]

Zone of interest ||I can agree that this was a present theme, like that one grandmother scene and the end scene with MC looking out into the current Auschwitz museum, but I think Glazer was certainly still trying to deliver what he interpreted of Arendt’s messaging throughout given his comments regarding her thought. So was that denial the point of the film? Or just sporadic individual representations of guilt meant to reaffirm to us the viewer that there was still some atrocity occurring. And even if it was the preeminent theme, is it not still adjacent to the supposed “banality of evil” representation in its detachment from the material conditions that brought about the ideal? Because I ask once again what was I supposed to come away from the film with? That humans are able to commit horrible acts due to a deep-seated capacity for evil? Not to say we need every film to spell everything out or what have you, but I’d be more willing to give this one the benefit of the doubt if it had due to the prior failure of similar films to clarify this. ||

I’ll be picking up the third book tomorrow

[modern lichen]

I did watch the Zone of Interest, yeah, but I’m not willing to engage in the discourse here having read through what Juba said, I feel it diminishes the power of the movie and I’d like it to stay with the impact it has

Jonathan Glazer himself is a Jewish man who sought to make this film because he wanted to demystify the Hösses, he never even discussed Arendt’s ideas of “banality of evil” which arose from her study of Eichmann in the trial specifically

Zone of Interest || Glazer wanted to make a film that threw away all expectations of a dramatic cinematic narrative, doing away with all the devices cinema uses to tell a story with character arcs and changes, this movie isn’t like that, it’s about how these people compartmentalised and lived through such horror beside their door, the point is that they’re utterly normal or even boring, without any charm in them, making a home and ignoring everything happening next to them, the sound is a storytelling device as important as the visual ||

[modern lichen]

Watch the film for yourself and see tbh

It's out in HD now

[young compass]

do you ever engage with anything? or do you just sit in your high chair

[young compass]

he did discuss her ideas, that the nazis kept themselves busy as to not focus on the evil they were committing, burying the evil acts they were committing with mundanity and routine

Zone of interest

||And even if you disagree with that, does a film’s banal repetition of a banal message really cancel out the tediousness of the process? Or add anything to it beyond an initial realization on the part of the watcher to say “that WAS the point!” and pat themselves on the back? It feels more a hollow rationalization that ends up betraying the film’s nature by making its messaging too obvious as messaging. ||

||As I said above, you can say this was the point of the film and be emotionally moved, but this film is only as powerful as the viewer's willingness to buy into it, and I don't find that to be interesting given the crux of it, which was something we've been told again and again. ||

[modern lichen]

First off, please drop the condescension, I have almost 500 thousand messages in this server in various channels primarily from discussion of various things, let's keep it at that, second, now that you have said this, I will respond in meantime

[modern lichen]

Zone of Interest ||one of the main aims in the movie is to force the viewers to watch as these people live through this without any worries or apprehension, with absolute mundanity and forcing the viewer to notice the atrocity off screen and keep it in their mind, Glazer never shows Jewish people in the frame, all the servants are from other groups in the camp, particularly the servant women are Jehovah's Witnesses. The viewer is left to sit watching as the drone of suffering in the background continues and Glazer knows this and keeps the relentless blast of it on as the viewer has to confront their own mundanity and culpability in the actions, even the camera setup is fly on the wall, with minimal use of conventional framing, Glazer is forcing you to stay still and just watch, watch as this family goes about its boring life while being responsible for the suffering of so many.||

||This question of, "why should there be a film like this?" is a weird one, because the film itself is a refusal of a tradition of cinematic storytelling that takes great influence from the annals of Nazism and Nazi propaganda, it does make the argument about "banality of evil" effectively, even if its more than "humans perpetrators of evil in plain eye!" and in fact, that's an extremely reductive takeaway in my opinion, and the deeper point is that with these people, these are real people who Glazer did intense research on, he has decided to turn his focus and abandon all conventions of narrative, and to reflect the vacancy of the people the film is focusing on by the way the film is constructed in its refusal to engage the Nazism in the means of cinema as the general audience knows it.||

||One of the greatest influences on modern cinema, cinema in general and how cinematic images are constructed comes from Nazi propaganda, while films like Triumph of the Will are not the precursor to film language, quite far from that (that idea that Nazi propaganda films paved the way for most techniques in film and editing in itself is a continuation of Nazi propaganda), it is still a film that is effective in making an emotional connection to people and stirring them, telling a story through careful craft. The Nazis understood how to use the film language to stir people and keep them on their side, and that has been carried into filmmaking throughout the history of cinema. The Zone of Interest rejects it all, the framing elicits no response and the images are jagged and reminiscent of the styling of early video, the editing is relentlessly choppy, it makes for a viewing that is utterly uncomfortable. The sound design is specifically the main star of the film because that is the fulcrum of the audience's investment in the film, the main family is too boring for us to see but their efforts to be normal is offset by things around them, which are not normal at all. The juxtaposition of the sound and the visuals is the film's device to effectively manage to make the audience feel something. And I fail to see where these expressions of guilt are, there is no guilt, its just steadfast refusal to acknowledge and to compartmentalize and to convince themselves, especially as seen with Hedwig, who keeps the possessions of the people sentenced to absolution in the camp and openly threatens her staff. Rudolf rarely speaks and he speaks with the monotony of a person with no emotional attachment to anything, he is utterly lacking in charisma but somehow the charge of a large establishment dishing out such suffering and the film also makes a point to show how capitalism abetted it as well, businessmen engaging with the camp officers to create new machines of cremation is important to show how all facets of society, not just individuals at the highest level, as Arendt observed from Eichmann at his trial, abetted such inhumanity.||

||"What about the sections where there's the infrared camera following the girl?" someone may ask, what is the point of those? Glazer states in the behind the scenes that this is based on a woman, who he met and who lived near Auschwitz at the time and engaged in putting food and keeping mementos in secret, the visual representation of the figure in infrared white against the all consuming infrared darkness, a light of humanity and of empathy in such dark circumstances, especially with the rest of the film focusing on the family. The woman died a week after he talked to her and he dedicated this film to her memory.||

||The final scene of the film is abstract, but its effective in managing to tell the audience that Rudolf and his family's story is not the ideal story they managed to construct for themselves, the story of the Nazis lives through the remnants of the suffering they wrought, modern Auschwitz honors the memory of those lost to this inhumanity, the perpetrators are almost entirely missing out of the picture, the Nazis are wiped from the memory of Auschwitz only leaving the memory of those that left their lives in that place. And Rudolf reacts to that with vacancy as well, Rudolf also sees this while he retches, the immense outpouring of his own evil making him stop in his tracks and makes him notice the small pinhole of light that he sees to be the future and he just goes into the darkness and the abyss.||

||When you talk about the "tedium of the process", I can also say that through this film, Glazer makes it apparent how seeing it as tedium is acknowledging that its easy to fall into the trap of seeing them through a conventional lens of character building, these people deserve no such sympathy or luxury, they deserve no such empathy and only vacant observation, which the film achieves in its intention||

@modern lichen irdk why like ion have a valid reason but like

i don't want jake gyllenhaal to be batman

glad he wasn't in the dark knight

[modern lichen]

gyllenhaal as batman in the DCU sounds like a weird idea to me

[sage sleet]

maybe it's bc i see him as a slightly less nerdy tobey maguire or bc brother stank

people really seem to want it

i would actually hate it

[tawny parcel]

isnt pattinson already batman

[modern lichen]

he's batman in his own universe

[tawny parcel]

surely tehy wouldnt make a 4th batman...

[modern lichen]

DCU batman hasnt been cast

[sage sleet]

guys i have big news

i would still like pattinson personally but won't happen

[modern lichen]

pattinson batman is a part of his own world, its separate from the main DCU continuity, its called elseworlds

[sage sleet]

sad it's coming out 2026 but it's expected with the strike

[modern lichen]

while my first reaction to the news was of utter despair

now that some time has passed

glad its taking its time

i have faith in reeves

[sage sleet]

suicide postponed to 2026 😔

unless the teen titans movie doesn't look like ass

[modern lichen]

dont say that...... smh

i am waiting for the lanterns show

[sage sleet]

i have faith in gunn i'll stick around

same

i wanna know what else he didn't reveal

people were saying it was animal man, teen titans, and doom patrol

i mean nobody knows either char but isn't animal man b'wana beast

or his mentor or sumn

[modern lichen]

Animal Man is a weird character tbh

[fickle ember]

Another suicide squad movie coming out?

[sage sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-the-brave-and-the-bold-bwana-beast-bwana-fusion-horse-gif-23152971

real one

ion think so? i'd like that tho

[modern lichen]

Bwana beast is separate from Animal Man I think

[sage sleet]

i think they're the same?

according to this one wiki i'm lookin at 🤓 ☝️

so i could def be wrong

[modern lichen]

They different, just checked

[sage sleet]

ahgotcha ok that's what i remember reading like months ago

Zone of Interest

||I'm not going to respond to your comments regarding the film's rejection of Nazi cinematography - I lack all context towards this and couldn't find any sources corroborating, so I just won't bother. If it's true, it's cool. I also agree that the sound design was well crafted and thought Glazer's comments were accurate, that it represented a different, concurrent film.||

With that said,

||even if its more than "humans perpetrators of evil in plain eye!" ||
||this is not what I stated it to be. Of course they're real people committing these acts, but the film, by Glazer's own admission, surrounds the idea that we all have this underlying capacity for violence to such an extent that a situation like this can be normalized. "but I was really interested in making a film that went underneath that to the primordial bottom of it all, which I felt was the thing in us that drives it all, the capacity for violence that we all have."||

||the expression of guilt, the main one, was the grandmother looking out into the camp and delivering her daughter an unspecified note that all but states it. But, we can observe this trend in an overarching sense as well, in the manner the non-mundane life sequences (like the thermal camera) were exaggerated to such an extent that the mundanity felt didactic, that Glazer was worried the watcher would fail to realize that part of the thematics. Which is part of my issue, when does a film's techniques become too overt and/or abrasive and cause its messaging to be presented too blatantly as messaging? Could this film's ideas not have been accomplished in 30 minutes total? Does the very nature of it being longer and therefore more mundane actually add anything to the specific theme? To begin with, is it just enough to have a freshly presented take on a played-out concept?||

||he is utterly lacking in charisma but somehow the charge of a large establishment dishing out such suffering and the film also makes a point to show how capitalism abetted it as well, businessmen engaging with the camp officers to create new machines of cremation is important to show how all facets of society, not just individuals at the highest level||
||this is not what I mean. Capitalism was not just complicit with the undertaking, but its nature resulted in the empirical justification for the anti-semitism present in the country. This is the root of my ideological disagreement with the film, which is separate from any the critiques I have in correspondence to its manner of storytelling, that it compartmentalizes the idea of the evil acts committed into an amalgamous "call of the void" box that's supposedly present deep down within all of us. It basically says nothing material and ultimately attributes the actions to this abstracted morality of good vs evil where we sort of ambiguously recognize that when raised in certain circumstances, any singular person can become as such; the circumstances are the utterly important thing to reflect on, no?||

one thing ill say is that I probably am giving the film too hard of a time

[modern lichen]

Nice, I was expecting a response, let me go through this

[young compass]

it's really not that bad or anything, I just have intense ideological disagreements with specific aspects

which i feel like, when this much is said, it's often to raise the "critic" to the point of the film without any of the rigor, given the film is the one staking its ideology so out in the open

[modern lichen]

I don’t find it to be perfect either but it just overwhelmed me so much that I can’t help but think of it as something that is rarely done in films and cinema now

I’ll respond to yours in a bit btw

[young compass]

but I just can't specify it another way, so I guess I shouldn't be so hard on it like I said

[modern lichen]

When we talk about what Arendt brought up with the banality of evil, it’s hard to imagine the actual societal denial of rights of such a large group of people and presenting the film without any semblance of nod to how Nazism back in the day used propaganda I find is a really effective tool to make the audience think

The power of the movie for me lies in the presentation, the sound and the image, since we’re denied any emotional investment in it

[brave orbit]

yoooo juba movie analysis

[modern lichen]

Give me a bit to respond, I’ll get back to you, it eventually came down to discussing the movie regardless

It's not just the grandmother who feels guilt- ||Hedwig's obsession with her "ideal home" that serves as a mental refuge for the horrors she knows her husband is responsible for, an idealized mirror for what exists just feet away.||

[modern lichen]

Zone of Interest || she is fully integrated into Nazi ideology, she knows her husband is participating in that and is also of the belief that it’s for their good ||

Zone of Interest || she feels no guilt, she states as much directly when her husband tells her that he might move, she is unwilling to move, choosing to stay there because Hitler promised a “lebensraum”, a living space and she sees it fit to keep her family there by any means necessary, she is so ingrained with this that when asked about the wall and the garden, she specifically tells her mother than the vines will cover the wall and that the garden is a curated space that they develop lovingly ||

[fickle ember]

[scenic galleon]

||To me, everything you mention rang as hollow attempts to deny what she knows to be true. Her mania, her obsession, didn't come across as zealousness for the cause but the extremes to which she must go to try and justify her current life and her place alongside the suffering she prospers from||

[modern lichen]

Zone of Interest ||Sandra Huller mentioned it in a behind-the-scenes video and in recorded history, Hedwig was a fanatic, who was not above threatening people over her knowledge of their Jewish identity or to steal possessions from Jewish people, this also stems from her upbringing in the lower class with most of the rich people her mother cleaned houses for were Jewish people||

Zone of Interest ||her insistence to raise her family at Auschwitz comes off as zealous because she is not willing to compromise on her family's space, the space that was promised by the regime and her station, her station is what she values||

[scenic galleon]

A major lens I view the film through is The Act of Killing, where ||Anwar's physical reaction toward the end of the film reveals his actual guilt and disgust with his own actions. Similarly in The Jinx, with Durst's hiccups, a physical reaction, and then Rudolf's at the end of Zone.

It might just be personal belief factoring in, but I believe that those who commit genuine evil are aware of it and the guilt is just buried deep within them, manifesting in various ways throughout the remainder of their lives||

[modern lichen]

The Act of Killing/Zone of Interest ||I think the scene at the end is a nod to The Act of Killing specifically, yes, but Rudolf remains as vacantly observant and hollow at the end, even when the overwhelming inhumanity in him is making him retch and when he recedes into the darkness. Of course, he did express his guilt before his life ended but by then it was too late, the man was about to be executed for his war crimes.||

hello guys , can someone tell me how many episode s7 and s8 of game of thrones have?

cause different sites have different number

[regal root]

7 had 7 and 8 had 6 iirc

Yeah I was right

[bold yew]

yeah that seems right , there is a site that has 10 eps in both of those and those are not empty episodes so its kinda weird lol

[modern lichen]

oh lol

well... can see where it went wrong with those last seasons

[sand cypress]

He doesn't know

[modern lichen]

the fact that the showrunners of game of thrones then made 3 body problem and its so good suggests to me that they're the master of adaptation

[regal root]

S4 was the last season where the directors could solely rely on the books, starting in S5 it was a mix of book and BS, starting from 6 it was completely off the cuff

[fickle ember]

When will new usm be uploaded

[bold yew]

that early ? damn , well s6 wasnt really that bad tho

[bold yew]

have you watched it yet? wanted to try it after im dont with got

[modern lichen]

its good, yes

[regal root]

Yeah the ending of S6 was peak cinema

[bold yew]

true , it was very peak

there is house of dragons as well after

have to watch that as well

[regal root]

House thankfully is finished so the story should run a lot smoother

That and not being run by D&D

[fickle ember]

I’ll pull up the first title for you so you know which

Go Go Power Rangers (2017) 1-20

@burnt lake After that we switch books, but it’s a big enough chunk to see if you like it or not

[burnt lake]

That's the 1st compendium I assume?

[fickle ember]

I’m not sure

[burnt lake]

I'll be back after I clean up a little and cook dinner

[burnt lake]

@fickle ember https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Saban-s-Go-Go-Power-Rangers this one I presume

32 issues

[fickle ember]

Yeah that one, first 20 only tho. Then it switches to another book

But by then you’d have an idea of if you like it or not

[burnt lake]

I see

[fickle ember]

Then you can drop or continue

[burnt lake]

i'll give it a small read tonight

[fickle ember]

I hope you like it, go go is the more character oriented series

The second mighty morphing is more action stuff, that’s the one we switch to after 20 for next part of the story

[burnt lake]

[fickle ember]

We come back to that later
