Втеча (2021)

Відверто кажучи, я про цей мультфільм взагалі навіть не чула, а коли прочитала опис то подумала, що це звичайна актуалочка-повєсточка, яку зняли прицільно для міжнародник кінофестивалів. Можливо, якби я подивилась цей фільм ще якийсь рік тому, моя думка і не змінилась би. Але зараз, враховуючи ситуацію, в якій перебуваю я та ще мільони українців, мені дивитись було боляче. Я багатенько плакала протягом перегляду, відверто кажучи.

Сюжет нам розповідає про хлопчика, який під час війни в Афганістані тікав зі своєю родиною в Данію. Це дивитись було неймовірно важко. Звичайно я дивилась і проводила паралелі. Я думала про людей моєї країни, які були вимушені покинути їх домівки. Які втратили близьких. Які залишилися без коріння та сім’ї. І мені було майже фізично боляче. Особливо визнаючи, що мені самій, відверто кажучи, дуже пощастило. Порівняно з головним героєм та порівняно з іншими українцями. Особливо з тими, хто повинен був тікати з окупованих територій та з територій, де велись активні бойові дії.

Анімація спочатку здавалась трохи незвичною, занадто спрощенною. Але вона дуже швитко стає просто засобом передачі інформації і ти навіть не помічаєш, що це тобі не топові аніматори Піксару працювали. Мультфильм зовсім не про це.

Дуже вам рекомендую його подивитись. Дуже хочу, щоб всі люди, в усьому світі, які коли-небудь зтикалися з війною, змогли знайти своє місце в світі і зажити повноцінним життям. Просто хочу, щоб люди жили в мирі. Що такого ніхто і ніколи не бачив. Таке повинно зберігатися десь на лавах історії. В підручниках, книжках, кінематографі. Але не в реальномі житті.

on the one hand I think quarreling about Dimension 20 vs. CR fandoms is kind of dumb because there really is a significant amount of overlap and the casts collaborate constantly and the people who are acrimonious are ultimately a tiny group of people with an inflated sense of importance. However I actually think that, while CR has always had extremely parasocial fans, D20 specifically has a crew of deeply parasocial fans who also seem to think that Brennan personally invented leftism whereas CR's parasocial fans are just, as I've said, the actual play equivalent of Gaylors.

#hilariously i think that CR since becoming their own company (ie not part of G&S) has at all times chosen to put more distance #and dropout...has at times struggled.#this is about a couple things notably the discord mess some weird tags i've gotten on posts and like. the bizarre response to Burrow's End #i think tbh d20 is at the position CR was in well circa 2020/2021 #i think a bunch of people are going to blow up and flee #probably to friends at the table as they always seem to

my mom's best friend--unmarried and childless older woman--has managed to establish her brand as a wine-loving cat lady so well that basically every gift she gets from someone is a cute cat-themed knick-knack or a bottle of wine. i don't think she's bought her own wine in decades. her supply is endless. i aspire to be her.

#emily and i had to flee to her house during the snowpocalypse of 2021 #and she just had a shelf of like. ten unopened bottles of wine.#including one i had gotten her like a year prior #she legit just hadn't gotten around to it yet #iconic #cw: alcohol

Quem pensa que animação é só coisa de criança está redondamente enganado e Flee é o melhor exemplo. A palavra Flee se traduz como fuga e esta é a história do documentário, a fuga de Amin Nawabi do Afeganistão para se refugiar na Dinamarca. A história começa na véspera do casamento de Amin com seu marido, com ele compartilhando pela primeira vez a sua história.

E sim, Flee é um documentário! Mais especificamente um docudrama, um gênero no qual a realidade é misturada com elementos de ficção. Por isso, além de melhor filme de animação, o filme também foi indicado nas categorias de melhor documentário e melhor filme em língua estrangeira, se tornando o filme de animação com o maior número de indicações em um mesmo ano.

Apesar de Flee ser relativamente simples com poucos personagens e pouca duração, não deixa de ser extremamente tocante. A jornada de Amin se descobrindo enquanto homem gay e tendo que largar sua pátria para poder sobreviver é contada com delicadeza e é impossível o espectador não se comover com a história.

Independente do resultado, todas as indicações de Flee foram muito merecidas e comprova que filmes animados são mais um meio para contar grandes histórias.

Spider-Verse Artists Say Working on the Sequel Was ‘Death by a Thousand Paper Cuts’

Why don’t more animated movies look this good? According to people who worked on the sequel, Across the Spider-Verse, it’s because the working conditions required to produce such artistry are not sustainable.

Multiple Across the Spider-Verse crew members — ranging from artists to production executives who have worked anywhere from five to a dozen years in the animation business — describe the process of making the the $150 million Sony project as uniquely arduous, involving a relentless kind of revisionism that compelled approximately 100 artists to flee the movie before its completion.

While frequent major overhauls are standard operating procedure in animation (Pixar films can take between four and seven years to plot, animate, and render), those changes typically occur early on during development and storyboarding stages. But these Spider-Verse 2 crew members say they were asked to make alterations to already-approved animated sequences that created a backlog of work across multiple late-stage departments. Across the Spider-Verse was meant to debut in theaters in April of 2022, before it was postponed to October of that year and then June 2023 owing to what Entertainment Weekly reported as “pandemic-related delays.” However, the four crew members say animators who were hired in the spring of 2021 sat idle for anywhere from three to six months that year while Phil Lord tinkered with the movie in the layout stage, when the first 3-D representation of storyboards are created.

As a result, these individuals say, they were pushed to work more than 11 hours a day, seven days a week, for more than a year to make up for time lost and were forced back to the drawing board as many as five times to revise work during the final rendering stage.

"For animated movies, the majority of the trial-and-error process happens during writing and storyboarding. Not with fully completed animation. Phil’s mentality was, This change makes for a better movie, so why aren’t we doing it? It’s obviously been very expensive having to redo the same shot several times over and have every department touch it so many times. The changes in the writing would go through storyboarding. Then it gets to layout, then animation, then final layout, which is adjusting cameras and placements of things in the environment. Then there’s cloth and hair effects, which have to repeatedly be redone anytime there’s an animation change. The effects department also passes over the characters with ink lines and does all the crazy stuff like explosions, smoke, and water. And they work closely with lighting and compositing on all the color and visual treatments in this movie. Every pass is plugged into editing. Smaller changes tend to start with animation, and big story changes can involve more departments like visual development, modeling, rigging, and texture painting. These are a lot of artists affected by one change. Imagine an endless stream of them."

"Over 100 people left the project because they couldn’t take it anymore. But a lot stayed on just so they could make sure their work survived until the end — because if it gets changed, it’s no longer yours. I know people who were on the project for over a year who left, and now they have little to show for it because everything was changed. They went through the hell of the production and then got none of their work coming out the other side."

Top 10 movies watched in 2022

With this second 2022 in review post it's finally time to announce the best 10 movies I watched this year. Before we properly begin, I must explain that I included all the movies I watched for the first time in 2022. This means some of the movies in the ranking might have been released in earlier years (although I admit most of them are from 2022).

With that out of the way, let's begin:

10-Encanto (2021)

Beautiful animation, great characters, an important message and an iconic soundtrack. What more could one ask for?

9-The House (2022)

I know a lot of people disliked this move, but I found it haunting and weird in the best of ways. The stop-motion is really unique and takes the eerie vibes of the stories to the next level.

8-Apollo 10 ½: A Space Age Childhood (2022)

This movie is just so charming. It made me feel so much nostalgia for a time in which I didn't even exist yet. I think most people can relate to the story and the characters, even if you didn't grow up in the 60s.

7-Shiva Baby (2020)

I don't think I've ever seen something quite like this movie. It's pretty much a comedy, but with the cinematography, directing and the music you'd find in a horror film. It's hilarious, claustrophobic and anxiety-inducing. Truly one of a kind.

6-Dune: Part One (2021)

Villeneuve is a science fiction master and one of the best filmmakers in the world. Incredible production values, great acting and an absorbing story make for an unforgettable experience.

5-Drive My Car (2021)

It's slow paced and long in that way that Japanese directors have mastered, but this goes the extra mile and becomes something truly special. It's not for everybody, but if you're on the same wavelength you'll love it.

4-Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

Rian Johnson does it again and reinvents the whodunnit genre with another surprising, hilarious and thrilling movie. Let's hope he keeps making sequels for a really long time, cause I could watch a thousand of them.

3-Turning Red (2022)

The animation is delightful and refreshing, and the story is relatable for anyone who has gone through puberty. It just perfectly captures what it's like to be 13. Also, kudos to the soundtrack too.

2-Everything EveryWhere All At Once (2022)

What can I say about this movie that hasn't been said alrady. It's relentlessly original and an audiovisual marvel. And, on top of that, it wears its heart on the sleeve with a beautiful underlying message that makes sure the movie has as much substance as style.

1-Flee (2021)

What an incredible movie. It takes a very refreshing approach to documentary filmmaking, but it never forgets how important its story is and makes sure to give it the focus it deserves and needs. A must-watch.

Bonus:

Tbh, if I had seen it for the first time this year, Better Days (2019) would have probably been number 1. When I first watched it, I was not in my best moment and I found the movie too heavy and grim, so it didn't even make my yearly top 10. I rewatched it in 2022 and I was just floored by how good it was. So yeah, it deserrves a mention.

Rookie-Critic's Top 20 Films of 2021: #5 - Flee (dir. Jonas Poher Rasmussen)

I don't normally watch many documentaries, and when I do they generally don't catch me in the same way that a lot of fictional films do, so going into Flee I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was the story of an incredibly brave individual that, as a child, had to endure things that no child should have to endure, and surely not for as long as he had to. Told through an animated lens so as to protect the identity of the protagonist, who we only get to know as Amin Nawabi, Flee shows us what it's like to grow up knowing mostly uncertainty and fear. Framed as a series of interviews with Amin as an adult man in Denmark mere months away from marriage, Amin spends most of his childhood having to walk a tightrope alongside his family as they try to make it out of Afghanistan and into literally any other country where he thinks they'll be safe. Not only that, but Amin also has to navigate his growing awareness of his sexuality and how being gay affects his surroundings and possible standing within the only support system he thinks he'll ever have. It's a very disquieting film, because while Amin's story is ultimately one of relief, self-acceptance, and what things look like when someone actually gets out of a dangerous situation like that, it shines a light on the fact that Amin's story is just one of many, and so many of those other stories don't end as happily as his. Many people will see this as a heartwarming story, and not to take away from Amin's success, but I left the theater with angry tears in my eyes, crying for all of the refugees who didn't make it.

Score: 10/10

Currently available for streaming on Hulu.

Clearly, y'all don't care about Jews, and the fact that Hamas is violently antisemitic doesn't seem matter to any of you. So let me go with a new approach, of equal truth and value. Hamas is violently anti-Palestinian.

This past week, Hamas attacked evacuation routes and prevented Gazan citizens from fleeing an active warzone. [1]

They did that because they routinely use Gazan civilians as human shields. Hamas intentionally builds military targets close to schools, hospitals, and mosques, putting soft targets in the way of both incoming and outgoing fire. Hamas encourages Gazan civilians and children to stand on the roofs of buildings they know the IDF is targeting. [2]

Hamas has refused to allow elections in Gaza since 2006. Not just Palestinian National Authority elections, mind you. No open elections for any office have been held in seventeen years. Palestinian rights to free elections and self-determination have been denied by Hamas. [3] (And good luck to anyone who tries to blame that on Israel, because elections were held by the PNA in the West Bank in 2012, 2017, 2021 and 2022. It's Hamas's intention alone to purge democracy.)

Hamas's track record on human rights is appalling. Palestinian prisoners in Gaza face unfair trials and death sentences after being tortured by police. Palestinian women are prevented from accessing the legal systems to escape domestic abuse situations. Political dissidents in Hamas, even ones who merely support the other half of the Palestinian government, have been summarily executed. [4] [5]

Peaceful organizers in Palestine protested Hamas's massive tax hikes in 2019. Hamas security forces responded by assaulting demonstrators, tracking them down, raiding their homes, and detaining them. And, as previously mentioned, prisoners in Gaza are not treated well by Hamas. [6]

Edit Nov.5, 10:30 PM: I forgot to add arguably the most important thing-- Hamas manipulates the humanitarian aid they receive away from helping Gazans and toward killing Jews. 5% of Hamas's budget actually gets used for humanitarian aid, while 55% goes to military use. Construction equipment intended to rebuild Gaza's crumbling infrastructure is used to build a complex series of underground tunnels. Those tunnels in turn are used to smuggle Iranian military equipment into the country. They were also used for human trafficking in the October 7th attacks. [7]

If you actually want Palestinians to be free, you can't just replace Israel with Hamas. But it's not like they're the only option for supporting Palestinian liberation. While Fatah doesn't have an immaculate historical track record, it now operates as a leftist, democratic socialist, secular Palestinian government that fights for a two-state solution. Similarly, Arab-Israeli political parties like the Hadash-Ta'al coalition support leftist, anti-Zionist, and two-state solutions from within the Israeli parliament.

You can and should support Palestinian liberation movements that abuse neither Jewish nor Arab human rights and dignities. Plenty of them exist out there. But if y'all continue to throw your weight behind an antisemitic and anti-democratic terrorist regime, Palestinians and Jews will both take note of exactly where you stand.

Would like to shout out Blakey Flakeyson for always being reliable in having the worst tweets imaginable when Palestinians are being murdered

It’s incredibly annoying how many Zionists love to focus on Palestinian refugee identity when any raids happen in refugee camps - their logic being “if Palestine is their country then how come they’re refugees inside of it?” - which can be easily answered when you actually think about it for more than three seconds.

IDP (internally displaced persons) make up the Jenin Refugee camp population. Internally Displaced Persons are people who are forced to leave their homes but remain within their country borders.

These are Palestinians from other places in Palestine, mostly Haifa, that instead of fleeing the country entirely, fled to Jenin for safety. This is why there are also Palestinian refugee camps in Gaza and throughout the West Bank.

Zionists also love to act like Palestinians are given special treatment with Refugee status because Palestinian Refugee status is inherited from generation to generation (their insistence being that Palestinians can only be refugees if they were exiled in 1948 and everyone after that are fake refugees essentially, that is if they even acknowledge Nakba survivors to be refugees lol) - this is not exclusive to Palestinians and is outlined by the UN.

As defined by the United Nations themselves, the children of refugees and their descendants are also considered refugees until a durable solution is found. (Somalia and Afghanistan are also other examples of this on the United Nations website)

Refugee status is multi generational because a solution to their political crisis has not been reached.

Palestinians within Jenin’s refugee camp are refugees regardless if they were survivors of the Nakba themselves or not, they are descendants of refugees who cannot go home, thus also making them refugees.

okay so:

the year is 2021. the month is june. the new season of hermitcraft, season 8, has just started, and everything is great! the hermits are all messing around, having fun, building insane things within the first week of the server being active, and generally having a good time. everyone's collected themselves into little factions, pranking each other, and it's all the fun, lighthearted, mostly-vanilla content hermitcraft is known for.

and then the split between minecraft versions 1.18 and 1.19 is announced. the delay of new terrain, and especially of new mobs like the warden, considerably disrupt several of the hermits' plans. but it's fine, they'll figure something out, they're professionals, and it mostly goes unnoticed.

about two weeks later, on november 9th, grian turns to mumbo jumbo in one of his episodes, and asks the famous question that would seal hermitcraft season 8's fate:

"mumbo, is the moon... big?"

suddenly, the fans panic. they search back through videos and streams, and realize that the moon had been abnormally large and stuck in a full-moon phase since october 30th. the Moon Big event has begun.

this is where the roleplay really starts. once the moon's size has been brought up, the hermits start a weird combination of scrambling to figure out why the moon's growing, and how to stop it- but also of ignoring it, hoping it won't be a problem, hoping someone else will deal with it. the moon keeps getting bigger, more hermits start realizing it's going on, and a creeping sense of dread starts to grow. but it's fine. it's fine, right? they do little plotlines like this all the time. they'll figure something out, the moon will go back to normal, and we'll laugh about it when this is all over. it's fine.

and then, blocks start flying away. just floating up out of the ground, and falling right back down! like for a moment, a square meter chunk of dirt has decided it's a ballerina and leaped out of the ground! but it's fine, right? the blocks are coming back. no lasting harm is done. they're going to fix it all... right?

the moon gets bigger. it's growing every day- local hermit weirdguy joe hills measures it every stream. the blocks start flying higher. gravity starts getting... weird, with players getting the slow falling effect at random, and being lifted off of the earth themselves. the players form cults and rituals and whatnot to try and appease the moon, convince it to leave them alone, making plans to escape. nothing works. things keep getting worse, and the moon keeps getting bigger. but it'll be fine. these storylines never leave lasting harm, or at least they never have before. they'll be fine.

and then the blocks stop coming back, just floating into the sky forever. the players have the slow falling effect more than they don't now. the moon is now so big it's visible even during the day, and fills the entire sky at night. they start planning their escapes in earnest, and say their goodbyes. some hermits jump into a void hole in the overworld (it was the centerpiece of their village). some flee to the End, some to the nether, some just fly with elytras and hope they can get far enough away in time. one brave hermit, tango, flies himself to the moon in a futile attempt to blow the whole thing up before it can crash.

but in the end, the moon crashes into the server, and everything they'd built was destroyed. and the whole time, there'd been nothing any of them could've done. season eight was over, a full six months before anyone had expected it to end, and season nine wouldn't start until about three months later. and im still not okay about it.

(here's a cool animatic of the moon's crash! honestly i dont think you need too much hermitcraft knowledge to get the gist)

(also the moon crash happened on the day before my birthday lmao.)

….

holy shit

#ok ok let me see if i have the timeline correctly:#1) s8 begins in June and so does the new update announcement #2) months go by with no issue (that they’re aware of)#3) it’s in November when they realize the moon has been growing #4) does the moon crash in January???#but gawddam #that is one apocalypse story if I’ve heard of one #also fitting bc i think it was 2021 where we were getting a LOT of asteroid/moon fall movies #idk what was in the air (possibly the pandemic that led to unforced isolation & ppl coped with apocalypse stories)#and somehow that bled through to a Minecraft server???? somehow?????#wild #this also reminds me of an apocalypse movie i watched with a friend called ‘3 Días’#very good movie btw #highly recommend (it is a Spanish only film which i don’t think will be an issue bc subtitles)#anyway #asks #smp 101 with gumy #hermitcraft edition!

1,750 children had been killed in the 16 days of bombardment by Israeli forces since Hamas’s murderous onslaught on 7 October. That is an average of almost 110 children a day. Thousands more have been injured. The psychological impact of the war on children was showing, said Fadel Abu Heen, a psychiatrist in Gaza. Children had “started to develop serious trauma symptoms such as convulsions, bed-wetting, fear, aggressive behaviour, nervousness, and not leaving their parents’ sides.” The “lack of any safe place has created a general sense of fear and horror among the entire population and children are most impacted,” he said. “Some of them reacted directly and expressed their fears. Although they may need immediate intervention, they may be in a better state than the other kids who kept the horror and trauma inside them.” About half of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are children. Since 7 October, they have lived under near constant bombardment, with many packed into temporary shelters in UN-run schools after fleeing their homes with little access to food or clean water.

[...]

In Gaza, a child aged 15 has experienced five periods of intense bombardment in their life: 2008-9, 2012, 2014, 2021 and now 2023. Studies conducted after earlier conflicts have shown a majority of children in Gaza exhibiting symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). After Operation Pillar of Defence in 2012, Unicef, the UN children’s agency, found that 82% of children were either continuously or usually in fear of imminent death. Among Unicef’s other findings were: 91% of children reported sleeping disturbances during the conflict; 94% said they slept with their parents; 85% reported appetite changes; 82% felt angry; 97% felt insecure; 38% felt guilty; 47% were biting their nails; 76% reported itching or feeling ill.
