Happy Ramadan ✨️

Always found it interesting enough that germany's 🇩🇪 message post world war heavily focused more on preventing another holocaust, as an act itself,rather than emphasizing on the values democracy & liberty coming out of a facist experience (as a message)

From a historical prespective I've been interested in the past months with the origin of the Baath movmt, felt I needed to have answers to the key reason that lead to so much death & violence that has changed the course of three countries. (1/3)

So sad for #GeneHackman's death, a phenomenal actor. The death of his wife and dog at the same time is so suspicious, though. Hope the truth of what happened comes out.

I dont know who needs to hear this, but the syrian revolution is the greatest revolution that has taken place. Yes, even greater than the french revolution. Live with it!

Back to the ultimate debate : which film should win the best picture award this year ?

I dont agree with many people who have the opinion that HA's decision to participate in the war itself could have been changed. "Had they listened to us."Sitting back would've led to question it's own narrative & ideological state of being.Participation was inevitable.It was destined to happen (1/3)

Something more significant than the funeral itself is the semi-collapse of an ideology on the masses. It's something we rarely witness in a lifetime. I was born in the year the berlin wall fell, but decades later, I still meet people trying to cope their beliefs with that.

Theres a lot of bottled emotions inside me today for the funeral & theres a lot of people who do not want to express or admit their own thoughts, maybe not to offend anyone but they are thoughts of relief, not for the death of a person but for the end of the political discourse that covered (1/4)

Watching #Nosferatu & I did find #Orlok to be a haunting figure. Creepy & his voice had vibes like darth vader in darkness, but more uncomforting.I dont know if that's just me,but I felt the character made the movie plus egger's mastery in creating unforgettable scenes & visuals. #filmsky #horrorsky

Still can't wrap my head around this war on autism that he launched. Like it's some kind of pandemic caused by “spray that we spray that nobody else does”. I thought it was a bad joke, but aperantly not.

New Marvel and DC crossover comics are reportedly happening 💥 They will release later this year

#Anora was great, but nowhere near #TheBrutalist, just my opinion. #filmsky

New android phones like the recent #oneplus are coming with an upgraded IP rating to withstand extreme scenarios like being put inside a washing machine. But seriously, who could forget their own phone inside a washing machine

Finished the movie,simply starring at the wall right now in awe. Has an intimidating runtime of 3 hours and 30 minutes,but for all I care it couldve been longer. it hydrates you mentally & emotionally,theres still so much to say about this film.This is art #TheBrutalist #filmsky

My god, that opening scene with the statue of liberty, the music & brody's reaction is a thing of beauty. Just Iconic #TheBrutalist #filmsky

I dont know who needs to hear this, but #CaptainAmerica has been banned cinemas across #Lebanon. It's just ridiculous & pointless. Another illusion of victory to add

Zelda is 39 years old 🫶🏻 #Zelda39th #Nintendo

📽 🧵 Ti West's trilogy (X-Pearl-Maxine) turned into this one big rabbit hole that just truly fascinated & impressed me. These soft-horror comedies each pay tribute to a different era in #Hollywood. Not only that, they are filmed and do sound like those movies they are reflecting on, (1/7)

Didnt notice this until recently but in Blade Runner 2049 Replicants can be identified by having them look up and to the left. The opening text of the film is positioned where the audience must look up and to the left, and the first word they look at is “Replicants”. #filmsky

I definitely was not expecting much from this one,but I ended up loving #Companion. It's fun & entertaining all the while it keeps pulling one twist after the other. You can never expect how things can go. Also, it is best to go in blind without watching the trailer or anything #filmsky #horrorsky

I cleared my friday to watch #TheBrutalist. I mean, it is 3 hours and 30 minutes long after all.

Have you heard of controversy over academy award nominated documentary, [Black Box Diaries]? The film by Shiori Ito, details her quest for justice after being raped by a friend of the Prime Minister and cops closed the case #ShioriIto #AcademyAwards tokyopaladin.substack.com/p/black-box-...

In a similar image to the end of the second world war & the hunting of nazis that took place, all these perpetrators & monsters with time will be taken down one by one for trial.

the world isn't changing, it has already changed.

People who select movies based on actors starring in the film got it all wrong. I always pick the movie based on the director, not the actor. #filmsky

Under normal circumstances, accountability of officials (something we all want) is a wide term that does include accountability on the decision of war & its consequences.

History doest go by the "what ifs," but I can't help but think, what if nasser never reached power? This whole chain reaction from syria and subsequently lebanon may have never happened. Or maybe it was something we had to go through to progress?
