# Translation Amzar and Alina's first meeting is merely a result of misunderstanding. Alina, who doesn't want to be labelled a 'loser' for still being single at her thirties, quickly grabs Amzar's arm, who happens to be there, to introduce him as her fiancé to avoid becoming the target of ridicule from Zufa, her arch-enemy since their school days. Amzar's life becomes chaotic after this sudden engagement story breaks out. As if it was meant to be, after that incident they meet again at Alina's workplace and Amzar is introduced as her new boss. Amzar uses the opportunity to get revenge on Alina for hurting his feelings, resulting in Alina being fired under the pretext of reducing the company's financial burden. Alina's meeting with Zafril, Amzar's brother, takes the story of Amzar and Alina to another phase. From hatred to the opposite. Feelings of love begin to blossom but suddenly there is interference from Hairi, Alina's ex-boyfriend who once inflicted emotional wounds on her.

When it comes the horror genre, I am VERY hard to please or impress, much less scare. Coming from a current mindset of appreciation for chilling, unsettling, tension-inducing efforts such as "Hereditary", "The Conjuring" (ONLY the first one to date, mind you), "Lights Out", "The Babadook", "Midsommar", "Talk To Me", "Oddity", "Bring Her Back", and the like
Elio could be seen as fantastic piece of representation, showing lonely children who feel ostracized that they are not alone. That is, unless you look behind the curtain.
One of THE most frustrating trends in the mainstream film industry over the last several decades has been the onset of comedy efforts that seem SO focused on being crude and/or gross-out in all ways possible. That, at least for me, makes them no longer funny.
Cinderella has been adapted many times over, with the latest adaptation from Amazon sparking controversy over its girlboss agenda. But what of diversity? We rank some of the most popular adaptations for diversity.
