After so many movies reviewed, this one really leapt at me. I think because I can’t really tell what it is. A lot of it is subtext and open to interpretation. Is it cathartic? Is it allegorical to being stuck in society? Did the characters have arcs or did they remain true to who they were all along?
The violent scenes are really violent, but seldom shown outright on camera. Watch only if you can tolerate violence(against children, self-harm, non-cathartic violence).
Hopeless (Korean: 화란; Hanja: 禍亂; RR: Hwaran) is a 2023 South Korean neo-noir thriller film directed by Kim Chang-hoon and starring Hong Xa-bin, Song Joong-ki and Bibi.

Recently Youtube's algorithm really wants me to watch Schindler's List and I never had so the other night I sat down and actually watched it.
Having a lot of thoughts about it but a major one I keep coming back to is how even an immensely and deeply flawed human being can go against "just following orders" and instead put in the work to actually help.
It may never be fully enough. It may never save as many as you'd hoped. But when you have a choice to either follow orders or save your fellow humans in front of you, I hope you choose the latter.
Schindler died in poverty. He was not a renown war hero nor was he at all famous or widely beloved. But he saw that he could help, even in some small way, and so he helped.
He was a Nazi who saw what the Nazis were doing to Jews and said no more. Enough. If I can even spare those under my charge, maybe a few extras, then at least I will have tried to do something about this.
I think a lot of people do not fancy this type of activism. It is messy, dangerous, and often completely thankless. Schindler survived as long as he did after the war due to those he saved helping him with donations. He was not popular in his hometown due to his association with Nazis, he was not popular in Germany, he was not popular in Argentina. His businesses all failed. His wife left him. A movie about his deeds was released several years after his death, where he would receive none of the benefits. He went to prison multiple times for simply refusing to hate Jews.
I think a lot of people like to think they're activists, but are sorely unprepared for doing this type of work, and then in truth become activists in name only. This is hard work. But without him, another thousand or so people would be on that death toll.
He took his position of extreme power- a Nazi owning a factory almost entirely operated by Jews, making oodles of money off that cheap slave labor- and said you know what? No. I'm not doing that. I can't save everyone, but as long as they are within my factory, you will not kill my workers. As long as I'm here you aren't harming one hair on the head of any Jew under my care. You're not sending or keeping them in Auschwitz. You're not randomly executing them for entertainment. They're people. You're not murdering them.
"Just following orders" they say. But they didn't have to. They could have helped. They could have did what he did, look around and say "what the fuck am I doing here", and stop. He did. They could have. They didn't.

Why is it "You’re my first thought every morning and my last thought before I go to sleep" and not" तुमसे ही दिन होता है सुरमई शाम आती हैं "

Presenting Nicholas Galitzine, the hopeless romantic:
"I am a hopeless romantic [...] My first sort of serious relationship, I was dating a Spanish girl, and it was a long-distance thing, and just seeing her was difficult, and I was so broke [...] People think you're just rolling in [money] even though [you're] being paid scraps. But my girlfriend at the time lived in a very specific part of Spain that was impossible to get to. [...] I slept in a couple of airports, took a few buses through the Spanish countryside, not really speaking any Spanish at all, trying to just communicate [using hand] signals, just anything [...] to get to her. For a three-day trip. Then [I] had to do it [...] again on [just the money that] I'd saved up from working in frozen yogurt shops and working in Abercrombie & Fitch. [It] is one of my deep regrets in life. But I was desperate.
It [...] made the love and the gesture [...] bigger because it was just no concept of saving the money or spending it on something of investment or value. It was just all about just seeing this person. And I think I've always been a bit like that. I think that I'm a bit of a mountain mover when it comes to just spending time seeing [the person I love]. [...] I also took two ex-girlfriends to Paris and then ended up breaking up both times a month after. But we should probably not speak about that too much."

sadly, there's not enough charles xavier, erik lehnsherr, cherik and peter maximoff content on this hellsite (affectionate) to satisfy my screaming adhd brain that choose to hyperfixate on the xmen movies and fall in love with yet again three fictional characters that are absolute trainwrecks.
