Bedevil, stylised as beDevil, is a 1993 Australian horror film directed by Tracey Moffatt, the first feature directed by an Aboriginal Australian woman.

The film is a trilogy of surreal ghost stories. Inspired by ghost stories she heard as a child from both her extended Aboriginal and Irish Australian families, Moffatt created a trilogy in which characters are haunted by the past. All three stories are set in Moffatt's highly stylised, hyper-real, hyper-imaginary Australian landscape.

I like seeing all your movie liveblogging posts when I haven’t seen the movie. no CLUE what’s going on but that movie really does sound great/bad 👍

anyways, do you have a favorite movie? or a few movies you’d want to recommend? I have a big ol list of movies I want to watch soon and I want it to be bigger >:)

OOOO my favourites. so. im actually not that big of a movie guy! im trying to get more into them since i have a whole fucking load of free time. but i definitely have 2 favourite movies

one you may have seen, but definitely have heard of is "everything everywhere all at once". fucking AMAZING movie. genuinely. i used it as a rated text for my english extension course, so in all the essays i wrote, i wrote about that movie, as well as Albert Camus' myth of sisyphus. but yeah its a banging film. i highly recommend.

second is an early taika waititi film. there are a lot of really good taika movies, like "boy" is amazing. and "jojo rabbit" is really fucking great. but my favourite is one thats like. objectively not that great. but i adore it. its called "eagle vs shark", and its probably my favourite movie of all time? not sure tho, favourites are very difficult to pick

but eagle vs shark is, as i always describe it, 2 imperfect people in imperfect love. like. idk how to explain it? its a silly little comedy movie with a really lovely romance in it. and i normally don't like romance movies but this one is nice. to me. idk. because the people in it just suck so much. but its about how even they are still in love and how awesome that is. idk hdnshbs i hope im not maming it sound lame. jts not lame

#also another movie i really liked is xalled samson and delilah. but its like. a different vibe. #its an aboriginal film about 2 people living just near alice springs #and its like a really serious film. a look on how Aboriginal people are struggling and shit. idk how to explain kt #its a silent film. kts really cool but it's quite confronting #hey pssst. thanks for letting me talk sbout movies ily 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

CRAZY!

Okay, so there's this film about my Mob (Tribe) that I wanted to share with you all me being a Traditional Owner and all.

Plot: Based on the incredible true story of James Morrill. James was a British sailor who was shipwrecked off the coast of Northern Queensland. He was on the brink of death until he was rescued by an Indigenous tribe (the Birri Gubba) and accepted as one of their own.

James lived with them for 17 years, he fell in love with the people and married a beautiful indigenous girl. However the violence between the white settlers became too frequent and James decided to return to his colonial life to save the people he loved. He chose to fight for the indigenous with the law and not the spear.

I’ve heard about this strange incident a few times. The fact that many of the people living in the area of Maralinga, Australia had never had any contact with Western Civilization before having a literal atomic bomb dropped on them is pretty wild. One factoid I’ve never been able to corroborate: supposedly, there’s already a tribal dance meant to communicate the story for future generations.

the nightingale could've been good if it weren't for the weird cringe ending and the fact it was more about the woes of the coloniser woman instead of the dude baykali ganambarr was playing (who knocked it out of the park)

#its a movie abt early colonisation lutriwita tas #its fairly intense. like theres a rape scene and they kill a lot of aboriginal people on camera #i suppose its good to see a film depicting the actions of settlers so unfavourably but also you can reaaallllyyyyyy tell it was made by a #white woman #its like Very white woman #the main plot is abt her getting revenge on the dude that raped her and then killed her family (? i dont remember) and for some fucking #reason when she gets to him she starts singing ??????????????????? #really weird #and i dont even remember what happened to billy. (baykali) #i think he ran at some settlers with a spear and they shot him ? random #the middle of it when they were travelling together was good though #i watched the film over a year ago #made by the same woman who made the babadook
