Opponent (2023)

Milad Alami

8/19/48... Does my “intelligence” need frequent rejuvenation at the springs of 'other’s' dissatisfaction and die without it?

Susan Sontag, Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963. (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, October 27, 2009) 

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places. ~ Ephesians 6:12

screaming and crying about Opponent (2023) directed by Milad Amani. It’s so beautiful. It’s so tragic. It’s about what we can’t have. It’s imperfect and the third act really fucked me up and lost me a bit but god damn. The queer immigrant experience depicted in film will never not move me. Especially when it’s acted so well. Payman Maadi I will never forget your name!!!

Opposing a PhD candidate

Today I had a completely new academic experience, when I was a “very learned opponent” of a PhD thesis. The girl was great and I had to recommend to give her the PhD.

Who decides what justice is? How does one end this unending spiral of revenge where everyone believes they are right and their opponent is wrong?

Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata by Devdutt Pattanaik

You are victorious, an overcomer, a person of faith and strength. You are a tough opponent for any challenge. Even the biggest mountain is no match for you because you belong to Christ.

'Dismiss the opponent, distort the facts, distract from the central issue and dismay the audience.'
