“His Girl Friday”: Howard Hawks Softened A Political Satire Into A Proto-Feminist Romcom
"His Girl Friday" set the bar for romcoms and gave us a feminist heroine before feminism was cool.
Zuzanka and the Utopce
A long, long time ago, or maybe not so long ago... Beyond the mountains, beyond the forests, or perhaps somewhere nearby... poor Susan went into service to a greedy farmer. Every day from dawn till dusk, for a roof over her head and a slice of bread, she grazed geese and a cow. One day, she saw Toad, who couldn't bring himself to the water. Susan carried him to the river. To her surprise, Toad emerged a moment later as the Drowned King. He invited Susan to his underwater kingdom. He wanted to reward her for her help, but Susan asked only that the water never flood the surrounding fields and meadows again. When Susan returned to her cell, she discovered that the Drowned had given her gold. The greedy farmer forced Susan to tell him where she had obtained such wealth. She ran to the river and demanded the gold for herself. However, the Drowned King had a surprise in store for him...

'Grave of the Fireflies' is a Brutal, Heartbreaking Story of War
What seems like such a simple story of survival is so much more than that—it’s a story of family, and of war, and of destruction. It’s painful to watch, but not in a bad way. It makes its audience reflect on their own actions, and in how they are complicit in the sufferings of others as the adults in this film are. Grave of the Fireflies does not hold back from being heartbreaking, and it shouldn’t. It tells a message that needs to be heard decades after the war, and a story that cannot be forgotten by history.
