There is no possible reality where this is in any way capable of being passed off as self-defense. It was never self-defense. It is, and always has been, a genocide.
Crying babies. Crying babies. This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, meant to draw out and kill civilians while also making it far more difficult to locate and aid children who are trapped or alone.
If you have money to spare, please consider donating to some of the fundraisers on Operation Olive Branch to help people escape this genocide.
in monkey man when dev patel makes the final confrontation he asks "do you know my mother's name? do you know any of their names?" and that's when it hit me...his character has no name and we've gone the entire movie without him ever identifying himself that way. when you give up a part of yourself for a righteous cause, losing his name so he can fully embody hanuman...yeah this movie is so good
To be a fan of dimension 20 is to be locked in a full theatre of a mind experience even after you finish watching episodes.
Because you see edits with characters interaction and truly believe in romance and drama but for an outsider it's just one irish man flirting with his friends and shouting at them constantly.
"People talk about sex scenes and I'm really proud of the sex scenes in this but I remember saying to Andrew, I was like, “I have no memory of looking at you that way.” Y’know when he’s beside the bath and I’m just staring at your lips? I’m like “Jesus!” It’s a lot, but all of that stuff is indicative of–if I didn't trust andrew–I’m not even thinking, that’s not even a choice in my head, that’s not an active choice for me to be like, “I’m gonna look at your lips now", because that’s indicative of chemistry. That’s what I love seeing in films in general [...] When you see actors that you’re aware that there’s something going on, that they’ve either worked really hard together or there’s a natural chemistry there that you’re getting all of this humanity for free, which I personally love to watch." | Paul Mescal
