Ozu favored a stationary camera and believed strongly in minimalism. A distinctive camera style is used, in which the camera height is low and almost never moves; film critic Roger Ebert noted that the camera moves once in the film, which is "more than usual" for an Ozu film. The low camera positions are reminiscent of sitting on a traditional Japanese tatami mat…-𝒘𝒊𝒌𝒊𝒑𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒂

The Oracle of Delphi failed to specify that it was the American empire that would be subject to defeat in its prophecy
his own films are masterworks in their own right of course but Fukui's presence behind the camera alongside kei fujiwara and director shinya tsukamoto on the visual effects in tetsuo the iron man was deeply formative for me. his work on that film is crucial, we lost a legend.
McNamara famously said that LeMay told him, re: the fire-bombings of Japan — NOT the nuclear weapons — that they were doing war crimes and would be put on trial for them if the Allies lost.
This clip from the FOG OF WAR helps put into perspective how much destruction can be done absent nukes.
Asghar Farhadi implores filmmakers to speak out against “inhumane, illegal, and destructive” Iran war
I think often of a New York Times photo of a little Iraqi girl tending to her parakeets in a bombed house, probably from 20 years ago now. I will think of this man and his sweet dog often now too. People just want to love what they love, care for their little beings, and instead we do this to them
Tehran's got a population of 15 million and is in the middle of a severe resource crisis. A conventional strike can kill millions of people in very slow and painful ways and I wish we could talk about that instead of jumping to the worst thing we can think of and getting freaked out about it.
Families in Tehran are taping up their windows and sleeping together in rooms away from the glass. Their buildings have already been shaken by nightly explosions from the most sustained bombing in the capital since the eight years of the Iran-Iraq war. Some are rushing to buy generators, concerned that new attacks could cause critical services like electricity and water to unravel. The bombings and threats have left many Iranians living in fear not only of their own government, which killed thousands of people in a crackdown on protesters early this year, but their would-be American rescuers, who pledged at the beginning of the war to create the conditions for their government to fall. A 43-year-old woman living in Tehran and undergoing treatment for breast cancer said she worried what intensified attacks on infrastructure could mean for her healthcare.
We are terrorizing an entire country.

If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.
I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".
Hayao Miyazaki films start in his sketches—his "image boards." It’s a habit he’s kept up for 60 years.
He works fast and loose, mainly in pencil and watercolor. Perfection isn't the goal. But you can trace his growth through the pictures. We explore:
