Civil War is Disturbingly on Point

I'm torn on this film, yet can't deny how disturbingly accurate it is for this moment in American history https://wp.me/p2v8yf-6nB #CivilWarMovie #A24 #podcast

Having just screened Kate Winslet’s ‘Lee’ over the summer centering on the life and career of legendary war photojournalist Lee Miller, I was intrigued to see yet another film where the cinematic focal point would be around journalists and war. Directed Alex Garland, Civil War follows seasoned war photographer, Lee (Kirsten Dunst) as she reflects on her life amdst two generations of journalists…

The New Trend: Civil War in '24

Dive into my latest blog for an eye-opening discussion on a Prophet Article and the 'Civil War' movie - a bold portrayal of a divided America that's more plausible than you think! #CivilWarMovie #PoliticalCinema

Amazing generation of the US using DALL-E – Contact me if you want the prompt I used.. Have you been hearing repetitive messages about a looming civil war in 2024? I keep hearing about it – in the media, and seemingly, also in theaters (I watched a trailer this weekend for a movie called “Civil War” that comes out next year. First, this Newsweek article is predicting how it goes down. A…

“Monkey Man” was shot and completed in 2021, and Netflix soon after acquired the rights for around $30 million, but it’s been on the shelf for three years and they‘ve all of a sudden decided to get rid of it? What gives? It turns out, according to an in-the-know source, that it was the portrayal of a fictional right-wing Hindu Nationalist character in the film that worried Netflix about their future dealings in India. And even though they had paid more than twice the production cost, they decided to give the film back to the producers, which is what caused the long delay. Universal and Peele eventually took a particular liking to the film, so much so that they suggested possible editing changes and delayed the release until what they thought would be the right date. It’s as simple as that. In the end, it was all about politics and optics for the streaming giant, especially since India has become the current top growth market for Netflix. Co-Founder Reed Hastings has mentioned that a majority of the service's next 100 million subscribers would most likely come from India.

Universal/Jordan Peele's "suggested possible editing changes" in question:

#monkey man #dev patel #jordan peele #film #i have to laugh!!!!#also have read some south asian critics on twitter saying the way it's edited renders the politics of the film vague and incomprehensible #i'm still looking forward to it of course but it's just a shame!!

Monkey Man is a movie about--and I mean this in the most literal way possible--how the kindness and wisdom of trans people can alter the trajectory of not only your life but also society

#monkey man #movies #you think i'm fucking with you--it's just an action movie about revenge i hear you say--but without getting into details this is real #my film school would've haaaaaated this movie not because of the politics but because it's the opposite kind of movie they teach you to mak

I was attending a funeral and to commemorate the deceased, we watched an animated Christmas film where it appeared that the animators had never once seen a child before. The film got really intensely into elf politics in the end.

The irony of Killers of the Flower Moon telling the story of how the Osage people were ignored despite the insane amount of corruption and tragedy they went through because it just wasn’t a big enough deal. Now the movie gets ignored and doesn’t win a single Oscar, getting snubbed for best adapted screenplay nominations and Lily Gladstone giving a beautiful performance of a tragic story, losing to Emma Stone, who for the record is an incredible actress, who plays a literal child in an adults body who finds “sexual liberation,” which is an incredibly gross story, but is more sensational than the murders of the Osage people and therefore it can win an Oscar everyone thought Gladstone had in the bag. The way history repeats itself, with the tragic story of the Osage people being ignored again and again because it just wasn’t a big enough deal to matter frankly pisses me off.

Women in Film Challenge 2024: [6/52] Polite Society, dir. Nida Manzoor (UK, 2023)

I mean, what is it with men, am I right? I’m no expert, but they just seem to destroy things: the economy, the ozone, the rainforests. I just – I don’t know. It’s like the whole universe revolves around them, bending to their will. Maybe it’s time the universe bends to someone else.

I'm Ria Khan. I am going to be a stuntwoman. My sister Lena is the only person who believes in me, but lately she's been seeing this guy who I think is a bit of a smarmy wanker. Now, I'm not being dramatic, but these people are evil.
