What is your humanity worth?

Ambani is the villain in this animated sci-fi series

He's the head of an indian telecom empire called 'Alliance'. Makers literally set fire to antilla and cooked him inside his own home.

I literally caught the fact that he is being portrayed as Ambani when I heard 'Alliance'(Reliance?):eyes::innocent:

Scavengers Reign

"Scavengers Reign" is a fantastic sci-fi show that's like a hidden treasure. It's an amazing journey that's different from what you'd expect. Imagine mixing "Alien" with Miyazaki's style - it's both scary and amazing. The show balances between being scary and beautiful, keeping viewers hooked every moment. In a universe of repetitive themes, Scavengers Reign shines as a beacon of originality and brilliance.

Star Wars: Andor

It was satisfying for me because it’s sort of Star Wars for grown-ups – it’s a more realistic and complicated society that they’re living in and the claustrophobia of the fascist regime is palpable. I think we have a good season ahead of us"

Are people really upset because they weren't using actual Portuguese? Come on, first, y'all are mad because it's in Japanese and you don't want to read the subtitles? Just focus on watching it, it's one episode a week, what's the harm?

Secondly, what's the point of a show if it's all subtitled? :joy:

Some American viewers are already annoyed because it's in Japanese and they don't want to read subtitles all the time. Now imagine Portuguese with subtitles for the entire series.

It's how you wear the mask that matters.

This is unironically the best thing marvel has ever done, AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT!

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is an absolute triumph that takes everything we loved about the original film and cranks it up to a whole new level. This stunning sequel is a true testament to the power of animation, storytelling, and the enduring legacy of everyone's favorite web-slinger.

This isn’t just any animation this is THE animation.
Truly one of the best films I’ve ever seen. A true masterpiece, a sensory overload in the best possible way.

Boy oh boy, hands down to Hobbe, My man.

We don't have the power of the state. We don't have the authority on our side, the cops, or the media. What we have are angry hearts. Clenched fists. Love and rage... and 15,000 watts of punkrock, - Hobbe Brown

Challengers

Challengers was an exceptional piece of cinema. The storytelling, score, editing, brilliant performances, and the emotionally charged screenplay with its dramatic twists were all remarkable. My favorite part was Josh O'Connor's performance—he was outstanding.

This last shot is probably the best thing Luca Guadagnino has ever done, among other shots in the movie, and the score with those acid basslines hits hard.

A terrific flick, no doubt

Worlds collide.

Ezra Miller gave a stellar performance!! It was amazing to see Keaton as Batman again! The storyline took from multiple comics enough to feel familiar, but made something completley their own. Equal parts funny, clever, and touching. I laughed, I cried, I felt child-like joy!

The graphics in flash-time were interesting, as they showed relativity's effect on light at high speeds. The temporal realm was beyond awesome! 4D spacetime is not an easy thing to depict for our 3D brains, but they made it both fun and artistic. Just wait until you see what happens! I highly recommend viewing it on IMAX.

White is Pure, Black is Ugly?

Irritates you, is it?
Such an ugly thought—
The problem lies in your perception.

Black is the color of the proletariat,
Come see in my chawls,
Where dust scatters into a rainbow.

Mad Max: Fury Road

I had to re-watch this after seeing "Furiosa," but this time it was the Black & Chrome version. It holds a different value for me. In Black & Chrome, you can truly appreciate the interplay of light and shadow in each frame and the brilliant compositions of every shot. You also become more aware of the rhythmic, musical quality of the editing and how it enhances the film's purely visual storytelling.

Dune: Part Two

I just saw Dune 2 and it is now my entire personality.

Dune: Part Two, like its predecessor but dialed up to eleven, is a spectacle that engages both head and heart, never allowing your eyes a moment's rest. It demands much from its audience but rewards us generously for joining its journey. My advice: don’t just watch it, experience it on the largest screen possible and immerse yourself. Villeneuve showcases the magic of cinema—a magic often spoken of but rarely truly felt nowadays. This is nothing short of a beautiful, bizarre sci-fi masterpiece overflowing with big ideas and even grander visual wonders. Absolute cinema.

It’s a story about colonialism, religion, power structures, fate, destiny, free will, choice, the existential threat posed by hero worship and mythology, and the way that these sorts of mythic structures entrap those who wield them as readily as those who follow them.

Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two is a striking look at the manipulative power of religion, and despite a familiar setting of a fantasy narrative, the audience is engagingly sucked into how power is ambiguously created through myths leading blind faith to be invested in for control over the masses.

Barbie

Just really a fun movie. You can just tell everyone set had fun filming it and the movie doesn't take itself too seriously at all. Best way to describe it is it felt like a 1.5 hour long reel. Don't have expectations of a solid story progression/storyline like that.

There are a lot of things that I admired about the Barbie movie. For starters, I adored the actual ‘Barbie’ world, both in its presentation and the way in which the physics of playing with toys manifests into the functionality of the setting. It’s bright, colorful, exciting, and displays nothing short of extravagant production design.

It has themes of what it means to be woman with some really powerful monologues. All around fun time good vibes.

American Fiction

Potential is what people see when what's in front of them isn't good enough.

"It is an absolute blast. Not only is it a cleverly written dark satire, but it also delves into emotional themes of self-discovery and acceptance that complement the satire in a satisfying manner.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the scene where they are picking the winner and what one group of voters says to the other... It was the perfect way to get the point of the whole movie.

Past Lives

At its core, Past Lives is an exploration of the profound notion of pondering our most significant "what ifs" in life.

Unlike almost any other film I've seen, this movie beautifully captures the yearning and longing that arise when we contemplate the paths we didn't take. It lays bare the raw vulnerability that emerges as we confront the choices we made and the roads left unexplored. Yet, it also highlights the inherent beauty in such contemplation, revealing how we can find solace, inspiration, and personal growth by revisiting the untrodden paths. It delicately portrays the painful yet cathartic nature of this process, compelling even ourselves to confront our deepest desires, regrets, and unfulfilled moments.

I really can’t recommend this film enough. It’s simple, yet extraordinary, in its presentation, guided excellently by great cinematography, remarkable performances, and a gorgeous soundtrack.

Robot Dreams

After watching Robot Dreams, I feel really sick. The movie hit me hard, especially at the end, where it overwhelmed me and tore my heart apart.

This animated film is unlike any other. It's beautiful, celebratory, sad, and touching, all without needing words. It's straightforward yet packs a powerful punch, exploring life, feelings, and connections in a profound way.

I loved Robot Dreams. It's a beautifully delicate look into friendship, love, and loneliness. It speaks volumes without saying a word. I saw pieces of myself in both of these characters, which hurt me. urge everyone to watch this.

Monkey Man

The movie came out right before a significant election in a country known for its diverse culture and vibrant democracy. Dev Patel shows everything that's been happening in the country for over 30 years-religious terrorism, ethnic cleansing, mob culture, and hate politics are all shown without holding back.

Nowadays, due to Al, there are lots of song edits that make you feel sympathetic towards people you should be criticizing. This movie reminds us to be firm and stand up to technology that tries to control us instead of being fair.

Laapataa Ladies

I can't help but share the joy of watching this brilliant satire #LaaPataaLadies, which presents a loud and clear statement on patriarchy and its many manifestations in the lives of 'invisible' women in rural India.

It delves into the lives of marginalized women, exploring resilience, friendship, and empowerment as they navigate societal expectations and stereotypes, shedding light on their struggles and triumphs while emphasizing the strength found in unity and solidarity among women.

Por Thozhil

The Art of War

Por Thozhil emerges as a Tamil cinematic marvel that seizes your attention right from its initial frame, maintaining its grip until an unforgettable climax. With its masterful narrative, captivating screenplay, and impactful acting, this production rightfully garners the praise it has earned. What truly sets Por Tholil apart is its ability to communicate a profound social message while maintaining a compelling narrative. The movie bravely sheds light on the harsh realities faced by the marginalized sections of society and the unscrupulous practices that exploit their vulnerability. It challenges the audience to reflect on the grim realities that often go unnoticed or overlooked.

Por Tholil is a thought-provoking film that touches upon issues that need urgent attention. It challenges societal norms and ignites a desire for change. It not only entertains but also educates and inspires. This masterpiece is a shining example of Indian cinema's prowess in storytelling.

You can erase someone from your mind. Getting them out of your heart is another story.

Some people find this movie boring and unnecessarily confusing, but I personally think that this movie is one of the most fascinating and creative movies I have seen. If you enjoyed Christopher Nolan's Inception, I bet you will love Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. This movie made me GASP and literally go WHAT??

The plot twist is insane and I was mind-blown by the end of the movie. If you are thinking about watching this movie, don't hesitate and play it now, you will not regret. A perfect mind-twisting blending between romance and sci-fi.
