Girls Will Be Girls in Whale Rider
People are so much deeper and far more extraordinary than what gender they were assigned at birth.
The crime
Frustrated writer-student Siavash stabs his sister's suitor, a wealthy antique dealer/money lender, to death. But cleaning woman Mahtaj witnesses the murder. Something about her rigid, unemotional stare prevents him from killing the only witness to his crime. Instead, he runs first to a friend's house and then home, unable to calm his increasingly erratic behavior. He then suspected her for blackmailing him and goes after her.

The Naked Gun: New Squad on Fire!
Naked Gun: The New Police Squad Team delivers exactly what fans want: relentless, expertly crafted chaos that honors the original while cranking everything up to eleven. The gags fire at machine-gun pace—sight jokes layered with wordplay and physical comedy so outrageous it borders on art. It's gleefully self-aware without being cynical, silly without being stupid, and maintains that perfect ZAZ-style balance of treating absolute absurdity with complete seriousness. The film knows exactly what it is: a comedy missile designed for maximum laughs, and it hits its target with surgical precision. Pure, unhinged entertainment that proves spoof comedy still has plenty of life left in it.
