#art #history: when georges franju chose a young edith snob (born #otd in 1937) for her first (admittedly, small) role in ‘head against the wall’/‘la tete centre les murs’, she cut her thespian teeth alongside such luminaries as jean-pierre mocky, charles aznavour, anouk aimee & pierre brasseur. this experience set her up nicely for the film that made her famous: 1960’s ‘eyes without a face’/‘les jeux sans visage’.

alternate吾今日觀《唐探1900》，感觸頗深，遂撰此篇。電影較爲尊重歷史，生動呈現二十世紀初，華人之窘境。彼時中國積貧積弱，備受列強侵略；華人在美國受盡排擠與侮辱，未享受真正之自由平等。
以史爲鑒，既可知興替，亦可汲教訓，免重蹈覆轍。一則，各民族、國家應自強不息，贏他人尊重；二則，長江黃河不會倒流，縱觀歷史，極端民族主義與排外情緒屢致悲劇，吾輩應防其蔓延。民族平等與世界多邊，乃人類之希望，亦爲孫中山「人類進化，世界大同」之體現。
噫！人類可否以史爲鑒而汲教訓邪？吾憂之。
Today, after watching “Detective Chinatown 1900”, I was deeply moved and thus write this piece. The film respects history to a great extent, vividly showing the plight of Chinese people in the early 20th century. At that time, China was poor and weak, suffering repeated invasions by foreign powers. Chinese people in the USA endured many of discrimination and humiliation, without enjoying true freedom and equality.
Taking history as a mirror, we can not only learn about the rise and fall of dynasties and countries, but also draw lessons from it to avoid repeating past mistakes. Firstly, all ethnic groups and countries should strive to become stronger and win the respect of others. Secondly, Yangtze River and Yellow River won’t flow backward. Throughout history, extreme nationalism and xenophobia have repeatedly led to tragedies. We should against their spread. Ethnic equality and a multilateral world are the hope of humanity, and also embody Sun Yat-sen's "human progress and world of Great Harmony."
Alas! Can humanity learn from history and draw lessons from it? I’m concerned about it.

New Projector Short! A group of abusive, murderous frat boys get their comeuppance when one of their victims teams up with some homicidal Bystanders, a horror revenge #film that's got an absolutely killer premise, but it's shortcomings means it falls short in execution. https://youtube.com/shorts/EsVMSvtIOAE
New Projector Short! Sunray: Fallen Soldier is a movie made by and starring ex-Royal Marines Commandos. As you expect, all the action stuff is accurate and pretty good. The dramatic side of it, trying to tackle veterans and their PTSD, not so much. #film https://www.youtube.com/shorts/On6rIiQJCFo

James Gunn's new "Superman" film debuts next week. "While the likes of Batman and Wolverine are popular because they break the rules, Superman has to be a law-abiding, upstanding all-American Mr. Nice Guy," Nicholas Barber writes. But that hasn't always been the case for Man of Steel. Read more from @BBCNews:

finished watching Nosferatu 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
Maybe, if I cared about any of the characters, I could appreciate everything this movie is excellent at. But I didn't and I couldn't.
Or maybe not, maybe I didn't care because I'm too tired of remakes and new takes and retellings and the same thing under another perspective or whatever excuse producers use this week to hide their fear of not making their ROI.
Fuck you, suits, I watched this for Eggers and Skarsgård, because I like them, because they're current, there was no need to squeeze the past yet again.
Minus too many stars because you're cowards.

Here is a rant about why I not watching the oscars:
The Oscars are a popularity contest. The preferred oscar winner is slightly above average artsy junk. For years that never winning an oscar is what save Scorsese from mediocrity, but as he got older the quality of his work declined enough to win an oscar.
The most interesting movies rarely wins most of the time they are not even nominated. 1/*

New Projector Review! In Steven Soderbergh's Presence, which is shot entirely from the first-person POV of a spirit haunting a family home, the audience is the ghost. But one thing this experimental #film isn't really is a horror film - nor does it try to be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0uYddkynIk
New Projector Short! Did anyone really ask for The Purge, but hairier? Well, you've got it with Werewolves, even getting Frank Grillo to fight his way across the city. Sounds like prime B-movie schlock, but I found this obnoxious and exhausting rather than fun. #film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZAxJ_OvSLE
