Dude I just hate it when they make movies about Algerians, without Algerians. Like what's the point to take our stories? There's millions out there that can be told but you take ours instead, thank you very much.

Omar Sy really is one of the best actors of all time and I won’t be convinced otherwise

趣味を効率化

前回の予告通り、FF14のメインは早いとこ終わらせて、今はクラフターやってます。 やっぱしっかり稼げるのはギャザクラだなってしみじみと薬作りまくってる次第なんですけどｗ そうそう、前回も書いたんですが、マクロ中に映画観ようとしてるんですが、合間でキーボード触るのしんどいな～って。 そういえばフレさんから前教えてもらったフットペダル式のマウスがいいのでは？！とおもって調べてみたらめっちゃ使えそうです！ マクロ終了音聞こえたらペダル���めばいいだけですから、身体はテレビの方向きつつ、素材なくなるまで足でカチカチしてたらいいのでめっちゃ楽ｗ ただ、2枚マクロの制作はちょっと気を付ける必要がありそうですけどね～ｗ

とりあえずこの手法で「グリーンマイル」っていう少し古い映画を見たんですが、流石に3時間超えは長かったｗ きっとこれでも随分短縮したんだろうと思いつつ、内容は非常に良かったです。今年見た映画の中でTOP5に入るくらいにはｗ 暫定1位は「最強のふたり」ですね。

今年は時間さえあれば映画鑑賞しまくってるけど、これを超える作品に出会えてないですね。。。 もう本当に、良すぎて。。。しかもフランスの実話で、フィリップさんは去年までご存命だったっていうのも・・・！ｗ 最近の映画は最新の技術で映像すっごく綺麗ですが、10年、20年前でも十分に綺麗で面白いんですよね。 映画は時代じゃないんだなぁって思ったんですが、まだ無声映画とかには手を出す勇気がないので、いつか機会があればｗ

そうそう、FFの話に戻ると、今回の新エリアでマイディーさんのキャラクリそっくりのNPC��座ってるんですよね。 あれからもう4年にもなるのかぁと。なんとも言えない気持ちになるんですが、今回の拡張で語られる死生観に沿ってていいなぁと思いました。 あとはなんだろう。ムービー多かったので賛否分かれてるみたいですが、最早戦闘体験型映画みたいな新しいコンテンツとしてなら楽しめるのかなぁとも。 もし光のお父さんを今から見てFF14はじめるよって人は、是非黄金まで頑張ってください！ｗ

The Intouchables

finished: 07/07/2024

story: it’s a French movie based on a true story. It follows the unlikely friendship between Philippe, a wealthy quadriplegic man, and Driss, a young man from the suburbs with a troubled past who becomes Philippe's caregiver.

rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

opinions: as you can see from my rating, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. You probably have already watched it since it’s a classic, but if you haven’t, it’s a must. It explores so many beautiful themes (such as friendship,trust, love and acceptance) while showcasing the power of empathy and understanding between two very different individuals. This movie proves that relationships like friendship can flourish even between people with different condition, lifestyle, wealth, and race. The only reason why I didn’t give it five stars was because it was two hours long and in some points I found myself bored, but that’s just because I was tired when I watched the movie.

acting: phenomenal, exceptionally well performed. The actor who played Philippe truly made me believe he was disabled and I had to look online to see if the actor actually was paralysed in real life (he isn’t which just proves my point in how good of a job he did)

cinematography and lighting: nothing special

In summary, you SHOULD watch this movie because of all the reasons I’ve listed up until now. And as always, let me know your opinions and thoughts.

Algeria inspires, takes no credit.

There's a saying at mine that goes: "لعدوة حاجتها حلوة" (lit: the enemy's stuff is sweet) and it means that a person may treat you like shit, yet they will still seek your things and like them. I think it perfectly reflects how Hollywood (and the US in general) uses many countries as a source of inspo, appropriate their culture and history without giving them any credit.

(long post underneath the cut)

First of all, take any USAmerican and ask them to point out Algeria in the map, they'll be left dumbfounded, even though it's literally right in the middle of it. The now US president had even said that nobody knows about Algeria or cares about it, and don't get me wrong, I'm very happy that a bitch like him had never picked a map long enough to spot my country and make it a target of the US destruction machine. Alhamdolilah, I hope Trump will never have to pick a map and the geography stuff along with diplomacy ig is left for the ambassadors aboard. But I do think that film producers who hope to inspire from this country (or any other) need to pick up some books still.

Now listen, I know exactly what's happening in here, the Hollywood machine wants to make up for past mistakes and exclusion by representing a black cleopatra and Jugharatha, turning L and Ldpdl black and so on. But while in the later cases, it's completely alright, the formers aren't, because it treats real life material. I know Hollywood could care less about some ppl in north Africa saying they aren't black (let's frame them as racist while we're at it), all they care about is sounding woke and progressive to their own audiences but including vaguely African notions only to allow black American representation. I'm all about African American representation, but there's another representation people are missing here, something that is very important on this very instant and that is MENA representation.

With everything happening in MENA (because of the US) , with how much hate and dehumanizing and racist the US and the western media had been toward our region, it's more than necessary for artistic creations to make a statement, that no, we're not as backward and unimportant as the media makes us look like, that we have an imprint on history. This représentation is needed, when dumb fucks insults Algeria, when the US doesn't shy away from making a movie called "The Algerian" only for it to be about terrorism and extremism, whenever my country is shown, it's all about dictatorship and terrorism, yet producers dare to take our references without crediting us?

In the case of Dune, their movies are of to be boycotted because of how orientalist they are, that's what Swana ppl had been saying from the start and as a result I didn't watch the movies, but for ppl who read the books, they are found to be heavily inspired from the Algeria, the revolution, natives and there's mentions of Taghit in the Algerian desert, ofc none of it is credited and it doesn't have any aim of representation, the movie as a whole is no proper representation of the MENA region even when its inspired from it , it's just oriental Aesthetic.

With the movie gladiator 2, there's a part where they talk about Numidia, an Amazigh kingdom in the northern part of what is today Algeria, Amazigh are the native people of North Africa, they are light skinned in the north, from white skinned to brown, (Although Amazigh from the Sahara can be black), just like ancient Egyptians, that didn't stop the Roman empire from severally oppressing us (which is what the west and Europe had constantly been doing since ever). There's this extremist thinking that light skinned ppl don't belong in Africa, even when north Africa had always been historically lighter, this led some extremists to spread lies about our origins and try to falsify our history. That is extremely offensive, seeing that our region had seen its share of oppression, being lighter skinned has nothing to do with the west, it had never spared us any harm and can't group us with western countries. We are not Caucasians, we are Amazigh and Arabs (in this case, Amazigh).

In the case of the movie the intouchables, which is a great movie that talks about a rich disabled white man who becomes friend with a black man assisting him. The story is actually inspired from that of a French guy and his Algerian assistant, and could have been representing this, especially knowing how badly Algerians are treated in France, this could give Algerians a different image, and MENA ppl in general. But it's not in the Hollywood bucket list to give MENA representation and humanize that bunch of the world, ofc unless you sprinkle in some other kinds of anti islamic propaganda in there.

Algeria is a part of Africa, yes, and I'd love for there to be more panafricanisme like the old days, i do see Algeria improving on this regard lately , my country wants to be closer to its African brothers. But there's def always been a barrier there, starting from the locations of the regions, (North Africa being separated by a long desert from the rest of the continent) or by our histories, cultures and ethnicities, or simply by our politics. The reality of the thing is that not all Africans are the same, North Africans had always felt closer to the middle east than the rest of Africa, and that is okay, our continent is diverse and should be, being African shouldn't have only one strict definition, being united means accepting and respecting our divergence and diversity. We need our unity, because it creates our strength, otherwise we'll always be manipulated by the west.

In order to represent north Africa, we have to think of MENA and giving it justice, as much as the rest of Africa, that's the region double dimension, North Africa/The maghreb is situated between Europe, Asia and the rest of Africa, it's influenced by the three of them while being their own thing . But why I say that NA needs to be talked about in the MENA frame ? It's mainly bcz its already being addressed that way, all the time on TV and medias and everywhere , when they are insulting us, we are talked about negatively as SWANA, then if there's smth positive we're black Africans. That is unfair, just be true to the stories you tell, if it's a black Algerian, cast a black actor preferably an Amazigh or atleast make the character respect the region he came from. If it's a white or brown Algerian, cast an Algerian to play the role, an Amazigh at worst or smn who's profile is similar to them, but most importantly, whatever actor takes up the role; make them true to their origins, don't erase us.

Some day there will be a movie about a black American boxer winning a medal while fighting against the world and it'll be all about black empowerment when it should have been about Iman khelif, Algeria, the third world, MENA, Arabs, and brown women. What they wanna represent is good, it's great, but the story they didn't tell is the truth, and there's nothing more important than the just truth, they'll appropriate smn else's success story to empower oppressed people, that's great right? But do they really need that or want that? I don't think so.

Anyways, those are my two cents. If you don't know and don't care about Algeria, don't mention us, in evil or in good, because you won't be fair either way.
