"Godzilla Minus One" is the most human monster film we've seen in years. Featuring abrasive acting from Japan's finest actors and writing that personalizes the conflict of national defense, it stands at a middle ground between earlier Japanese installments and American adaptations of this titan franchise. https://lnkd.in/g-4G38sf #godzilla #godzillaminusone #filmreview #film #japanesefilm

This brother Yuval gives me hope that our next generation can reach understanding and coexistence. Yet his family’s home has been broken into in search for him as he was labeled an antisemite by Channel 11 in Israel (he is israeli and jewish). That gives me fear and anxiety about our present. This hope for the future and fear of the present is not new. It happens everytime I see solidarity grow. Yet everytime solidarity grows brutality increases. I am afraid that our people’s, especially Palestinian people’s, systemic cleansing will succeed before the world acknowledges it for what it is. We live between hope and fear, both of which are toxins. As hope lifts us the destruction grounds in the reality. As the fear sets in, we see glimmers of solidarity that renews hope before its crushed again. These waves come and go and take more of our patience into the sea of powerlessness. Personally, I feel small in the face of these challenges. Whoever knows me knows that I am not a small person. I have presence, projection, presentation, all of what it takes to be noticed. Yet all I hear is my echo in a shell. All I can do is watch from rock bottom. All I can do is retreat further into myself. Its been months and I start almost everyday this way. With these thoughts. How have your last few months been?

📽 "Conquer by the clock": an impressive propaganda film released in 1943: https://lnkd.in/eAyHMCX5 An invitation to abandon, to speed up, to feel guilty about doing things wrong. Both work and management become more patriotic than ever #TheRiseofDigitalManagement #USindustrialMobilization

Among other things, we probably have just avoided French cinema industry annihilation. Had the far-right RN party secured an absolute majority in the French parliament, their agenda would have limited government funding exclusively to “patriotic films”. Eerily similar to what has already happened to the annihilated Russian film industry. De jure, you can still shoot any film there, after jumping over the logistical hurdles of minor inconveniences: no bank transfers, no Eurimages participation, no new camera rentals, no actors (squeezed abroad)… However, like everywhere else, you need a rating certificate to screen anything publicly. In other words, an authorization delivered by the Ministry of Culture, which effectively restricts approvals to… historically patriotic dramas or positively-childbearing family comedies.
