Hitchcock's Subtextual Coding in 'Rope'
Hitchcock is no stranger to innuendo, as was common in that era, but there was something so sophisticated about his approach to 'Rope', and it starts in the first frame.

From the Rai Arturo Toscanini Auditorium, conductor John Axelrod presents three distinct moments of great music inspired by three iconic films: the Symphonic Dances from Leonard Bernstein’s *West Side Story*, which, before being adapted for the cinema (twice: in 1961, directed by Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise, and in 2021, directed by Steven Spielberg), was one of Broadway’s greatest hits; the Orchestral Suite from Federico Fellini’s La Strada, featuring the famous music of Nino Rota; and the Suite from Star Wars, the film saga created by George Lucas in 1977 with music by John Williams.

As a musical fan, I enjoyed the film and encourage anyone who likes dark humour and a bit of blood to give it a watch.
An anti-war film denouncing the valorization of senseless violence, 'All Quiet on the Western Front' is (unfortunately) all too relevant in 2022.
If you enjoy Japanese cinema, absurdly violent action films, gangster flicks, or joyfully strange cinema, 'Why Don’t You Play in Hell?' is a must-see.
Based on Bethany's autobiography "Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board," this heartwarming film tracks the struggle to pursue normalcy and ambition after a major injury.
All in all, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is a film I would recommend. It promotes the bond of sisterhood, which in this case is clearly thicker than blood, as well as courage. No one truly knows how strong they are until they go through something unimaginable and come out changed for the better.
