They Do Not Exist 1974
It’s extremely discouraging to see technology and the craft of film evolve faster than freedoms of Palestinians.
I’ve primarly watched films from the mid 90’s to present (96 in total now) and this film covers essentially all the bases when it comes to showing the plight of the indigenous population of the region that any film today would, in the abstract atleast.
But also when watching this film it seems like it’s decades older than it is because Palestinian culture…

My Life as a Palestinian Fighter 2023
The documentarians fail to establish that Jenin was allocated to the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority under Area A of the Oslo Accords.
This means the Israeli Occupation is committing acts of war when they enter the area with force, which they are known to do prompted or unprompted. Israeli Occupying Forces only have full authority over Area C, and mixed authority over Area B. A is off limits.
To frame resistance to the State Terrorism of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as terrorism in and of itself is to buy into Settler Colonial and ethnonational propaganda.

Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn 2021
It’s largely preaching to the choir, but the film makes for a nice little meditative essay sandwiched in an allegory about imagery and memetics and how they’re used by the powers that be to sow dissent among the working class mainly in the name of moral purity.
Successful propaganda primarily manifests itself in those predisposed to hatred who consume it uncritically and often as a mode of self-aggrandizement; Stigmatization of harmless everyday human activities is a method of control enforced by an uneducated, unorganized, and divided populous.

Get Out 2017
Get Out is an easy-to-predict horror comedy that doubles as an overt social satire about current race relations in the US. Though pretty heavy handedly, the film definitely says what it intends to say. It sorta (but not completely) fails as a horror film, as it takes way too long to get where it's going and almost every little aspect is seen coming from a mile away. Don't get me wrong, there are some genuinely creepy and uncomfortable scenes here, but those…
