Trailer for the movie: "Once Upon a Time in the Middle East". Unlike Hollywood films which frame the US as the "good guys", this Chinese movie about a Chinese restaurant owner surviving an American invasion, unapologetically casts the US as the bad guys.

His position makes him a target for a local band of guerrillas, and, before long, Santore is kidnapped. As a prisoner, he undergoes interrogation, shedding light on the violent situation in the country. Once the insurgents are done with their questioning, they must decide whether Santore lives or dies.

Thoughts on this one?

Synopsis: Through dramatic reconstruction and documentary asides, the spirit of Italian poet, playwright, journalist, aristocrat and army officer Gabriele D’Annunzio is captured, presenting the nascent fascism in his attempts to forge a new state in the aftermath of the First World War.

An interesting doc about something that I had no knowledge of! I thought it ran a little long but I was overall pretty entertained and informed! Recreating archival photos and footage was really interesting . I always enjoy a documentary that attempts to break out of the talking head format.

Next steps for Communist Film Club.

I’ve been wanting to do more with this sub. Been considering an online magazine with contributors from this sub that would have film reviews, think pieces and stuff of that nature. Would anyone be interested in that?

Nolan’s Odyssey is neoliberal slop

Out of curiosity I snuck into theatre (not to give money to Hollywood) and watched Odyssey. The editing was tiktok-brained as every shot lasted a millisecond, cast was too white as usual with a couple tokens, neoliberal war propaganda with the “are we the baddies?” twist that only focuses on the PTSD of the soldiers and doesn’t punish the main character who is a self-admitted war criminal. Goofy ending when Odysseus pulls a “sike!! i ain’t dying”

Apparently, they filmed in occupied Sahara too.

Everything on screen looks bland and instagram-ready, botox, chic, non-stained armor, minimalist, white.

Acting choices are the modern blockbuster whispers in a low tone with occasional SCREAM out of nowhere.

After this and Oppenheimer I am convinced Nolan is a cia psyop.

The neoliberal “let’s go back to simpler times without war but honor our soldiers too” moral of the story was spoon fed to the audience because it is targeted at children and dummies.

Odysseus is your usual vet gets PTSD and becomes a hero trope — the climax is literally a scene where he looks at the child they are slaughtering, the cliche of all cliches. Dope soundtrack tho.
