“Practice any art… no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.” - McKellen reciting Vonnegut

I wish strangers lingered after the movie ends in the theatre and debrief the movie together

This is a little known piece of knowledge for the Reels generation, but scenes used to have many other scenes attached to them, and you were required to watch all of them - we called the combination ‘movies,’ and sometimes some scenes were good but more were bad.

Why is this so hard for people to understand? I've made this point to tech bros on various occasions, and it does nothing to sway them. They tune it out or do a bunch of handwaving.

[Film Review - The Voice of Hind Rajab] I walked out of the cinema feeling broken in a way I was not prepared for. For ninety minutes, I was not an observer. I was trapped in a state of helplessness, anxious and frightened, listening to the same crackling phone line as the Palestinian Red Crescent volunteers, willing a rescue that never seemed to come, growing increasingly frustrated as systems strained and faltered while a child waited. This is not a film I would ever describe as something to watch for pleasure. I watched it because I needed to understand, however imperfectly, what life in Gaza now feels like. We are far away. We can never fully grasp the reality on the ground. But distance is not an excuse for indifference. We have all read the headlines. We know the outcome. Yet this film is not simply about a six-year-old girl whose life was cut short. It is about the voices that stayed when the world had already begun to move on, and about the quiet heroism of people who keep answering phones in the middle of a war. The moment that will haunt me is when Rana Faqih, still on the line with Hind, began to recite Al-Fatihah. It does not feel scripted. It feels instinctive, almost desperate. In the darkness of the hall, I could hear sobs ripple through the audience. The prayer is gentle and steady, yet unbearably heavy. It humbles those of us who live in safe cities, who rarely stop to consider how fragile our sense of normalcy truly is. The war is still ongoing. Lives have been taken. Negotiations continue somewhere far from where the bombs fall. The Voice of Hind Rajab does not offer solutions. What it offers is something harder to sit with, a reminder that behind every statement, every diplomatic phrase, there are real voices still waiting to be heard. And perhaps the most important thing it asks of us is this, not to turn away, and not to lose hope.

BAFTA hosted a Palantir party a couple of weeks ago and I am still mad about it. From a venue/ institution where I saw The Voice of Hind Rajab with a Q&A and sobbed among many other BAFTA members, it felt like a betrayal. more info here: instagram.com/p/DU-eyn1jXBC/…
