The only movie I can think of off the top of my head that does show ‘real’ poverty like that (even if somewhat briefly) is Running on Sand.
The protagonist is shown to be living in a small apartment with multiple other refugees.
Ages ago I was listening to a podcast about class divide and depictions of poverty in media and at one point one of the hosts said
“We often talk about the rich not understanding what it’s like to be poor and while that’s true it’s also true for most of us. We might think we understand it because we think we’ve seen it on tv but in reality we all tend to think of “poor” as the poorest we’ve been ourselves. Unless we’ve actually been poor or been close to someone who is or was poor we don’t really understand what that means. What most of us think of as poor is lower-middle class”
Basically his point was that being poor means something different in different countries but a lower-middle class person in the west doesn’t truly understand what a person sharing an apartment with 10 other people just to get by has to go through and that person doesn’t understand what a person who had to live in a storm drain for a while had to struggle with unless they were that person. That’s why “poor people” in movies and shows are never all that poor. Both because the writer never experienced the sort of poverty they’re trying to portray but also because most viewers wouldn’t understand it and constantly question why the character was living like that. Some think poor means not having a car because they had to live without one for a while, while others think poor means not being able to pay for a streaming service. Our idea of poverty is shaped by our own experiences. Thoughts?

Ever wonder what Peter Lorre speaking Hebrew might have sounded like?
youtube
I found this clip through Bluesky (the new Twitter for non-inbreds). Its from an Israeli movie called "the City" (2023). From what I gather, it's a "hip-hop musical" and parody of film noir.
The short guy definitely sounds like he's doing a Peter Lorre impression. And in a trailer with English subtitles, he says this:
The trailer reveals the actor's name as Idan Alterman, but no cast listing I could find gives any name for his character. Not a bad PL impression though.
Anyway, "the City" is now on my to-see list. I just hope there's a version with English subtitles.

queer palestinian short film: "polygraph"
queer short cuts is a biweekly newsletter where i share queer & trans short film recommendations. i’m featuring some of my favorite films on tumblr because why not
israel | 21 minutes | 2020 | narrative short film audio in hebrew & arabic; subtitles available in english & german
polygraph | بوليجراف, written and directed by samira saraya, never lets you forget about the inherently unequal power dynamic between yasmine (played by saraya herself), a palestinian arab nurse living in tel aviv, and her israeli lover or (hadas yaron), who is an intelligence officer in the israeli army – nor about the way that yasmine’s life is surrounded by israeli occupation and suppression, even just when driving her girlfriend to work. when yasmine’s sister jehan (fidaa zidan) comes to visit from the occupied west bank, the dinner yasmine hosts to introduce them becomes a site of tension around or’s participation in upholding israeli apartheid. - deepa's full review, including content notes at the end
watch as part of the collection upon her lips: butterflies at vimeo on demand or several other platforms, or with a subscription on the criterion channel

She became the mother now trying to comfort them like a mother.
The lost their parents and a sister.
Ruining other people’s lives is what the Israeli government is doing to innocent Palestinians right now.

i think the last time i saw a ridley scott film was alien for uni and like.
he's so boring and i just don't care ?
he picks dudes out of a hat bc they 'look right' and doesn't care to audition them if they're big enough names, he assigns ethnicities by throwing darts at a board and he has never once met a woman he likes.
wow, so fresh, so unique, so interesting
#the ridley scotts the nolans the whatever elses#they're so fucking!! boring#denzel was fun and alexander karim remains the love of my life#and they wasted paul mescal's talent of making you cry#and his talent of finding chemistry with literally anyone else#he had plenty with peter mensah but with the israeli actress? yikes#this is my spoiler free review lmao#gladiator ii sure was a film
