This first year, from suffering to freedom, bears witness to the rebirth of a liberated country. Surreal Syria, through the eyes of survivors of Sednaya, Adra, Mezze, and other Syrian prisons, tells the story of the dark cells, the lost years, and the endless wait of the faces hanging on the walls. It brings to life the voices that oppression could not silence, reviving in the streets on the first anniversary of freedom.
I highly recommend Dark Waters. It’s a highly engrossing picture, which lends itself to cautionary storytelling. The dark information continually grows, inspiring change and accountability altogether. Overall, Haynes’ picture will not be known for its inclusiveness--but it will be known for being a fantastic, engrossing film.
We can criticize depictions from old media, but they weren’t simply “good for their time”. They were fighting and struggling in a world we can’t imagine.
Despite being an over-talked-about piece of media, 'Euphoria' has some interesting articles about it with personal angles that oppose the average tendency to be generic.
An excellent exploration of taking a joke too far.
I hope that more people will see Joyland, understand the situation, and eventually change themselves and society so we can have a more accommodating world where everyday tragedies like the one depicted in the film do not occur.
