Love, Value, and Self-worth: 'Materialists' is the Romcom of the Summer A realistic, honest, yet hopeful exploration of love, value, and self worth. A deeper look at this summer's heartfelt romcom, Materialists.

Wrote my thoughts on the deeper themes in #Materialists.

Celine Song goes deeper than a typical romcom, delivering a moving & romantic story told through a beautiful visual experience. With vulnerable performances from Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans.

Watched #Materialists two days ago and can’t stop thinking about it. The best part was standing with strangers outside the theatre discussing it for a loong time afterwards.

This is what movies are about. This is what I live for!

Decided to bring this thread over from Twitter since we’re getting close to #Andor S2 and it’s more relevant now than it was when I made it 2+years ago

This is a long and heavy post, but needed to be said. Seeing these events on screen, the riot tactics, ethnic cleansing, dehumanization of native peoples, abuse of power, etc is necessary. I hope people can connect the dots and understand the commentary that #Andor is making

8/ The way Bix was detained and tortured brutally, using experimental techniques, happens to Palestinians who are detained to get info, without charges or trial. They can get experimented on and the resulting tactics gets sold to militaries and police forces around the world...

7/ What Wilmon Paak did with his homemade device would cause an entire city block in the West Bank to be razed to the ground as retaliation.

6/ In the finale, the way Ferrix locals were fighting with their hands, rocks, bricks, while imps had full gear, snipers, automatic weapons, fired at will, & snatched people from the crowd to detain them, is exactly how Palestinians are treated, abused, and 💀 on a daily basis.

5b/ The "tactic" to hold people by their necks, whether using hands or knees, is commonly used against Palestinians (and was taught to the US by those soldiers). Most Palestinians are held without charges or trial, in brutal conditions including torture.

5/ Cassian simply walking on the beach being arrested because a trooper thought he was suspicious, held by his neck, then imprisoned without due process is how most Palestinians get detained. The "tactic" to hold people by their necks, whether using hands or knees ...

4/ Cassian, as a young man, running at troopers with his stick for what they did to his father, leading to his arrest & imprisonment. This is what Palestinian youth deal with: men in the family constantly being detained or 💀. They try to fight back & receive the same punishment.

3/ Protestors in Ferrix throwing stones at troopers, Clem Andor being captured & hung trying to keep the peace. Palestinians use stones to fight back with against a fully decked out occupying force, and simply being in the vicinity of any protest can get you detained or 💀

2/ The empire taking over and destroying the Aldhani's holy site, is just like what happens yearly in the Al Aqsa Mosque where worshippers are prevented from going, then attacked during holy days with tear gas & rubber bullets. The mosque windows and walls also get ruined.

1/ Skeen's story about imps taking over his brothers tree farm is what has continuously happened to olive tree farmers in Palestine. The family land, where they've lived for generations, gets taken by force and they're kicked out (if they're lucky) or 💀.

🧵Ok here it is: the parallels to Palestine in #Andor

Tony Gilroy said the finale was partly inspired by anti-apartheid protests in Palestine, but the finale isn't the first or only time they've made parallels.

So here's a list off the top of my head 👇

Filmed and posted my first TikTok in AGES so here I am sharing it with y’all 😂

I’m talking movies and shows releasing this month that I’m most excited for!

I’m currently rewatching #TheWheelOfTime season 1 and maaaan I forgot how much I enjoyed watching this show when it first came out! Can’t wait for Season 3 this month 😊

Ppl saying the character is fine cause they removed connections to the comics & Israhell…

Her name is still Sabra and she’s played by an IOF volunteer… That’s MORE than enough.

If you’re still making excuses, idk but I guess Palestinian lives are worth less than a movie 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m still mulling over my thoughts but I thought it was decent overall. I personally didn’t think it was scary enough for horror, but there’s elements of it sprinkled in.

I just watched “Presence”. Quick thoughts:

It’s a very interesting concept, seeing through the eyes of a supernatural entity as a new family moves into the home it inhabits. I’m still pondering the execution of the movie, but that final scenes gave me chillsss… Lucy Liu 🔥🔥

Here’s a roundup of movies & shows to watch in February:

There’s everything from romance and horror releasing on Valentine’s, an animated movie in one of the most popular franchises, murder mysteries, and stories of conflict & occupation.
