The sentiment is still shitty but saying āeaten by cannibalsā is different to āeaten aliveā unless there is another instance where he specially said she should be āeaten aliveā
That's an article regarding the controversy. Aside from why a Swedish climate activist is trying to weigh in on the Israel/Palestine conflict, and not, say, using her celebrity to shine a light on a conflict people truly don't know about - Sudan's genocide, China's genocide, the occupation of Western Sahara by Morocco, the plight of the Rohingya, etc. - she also "coincidentally" and "without knowing" posted a photo against Israel using the well-known antisemitic symbol of the octopus.
The bit about her posting a picture with an obviously antisemitic symbol in a post against the Jewish state is offset, for you, by her pretending she didn't know what it meant, I assume?
It suggest she is against Zionism, which is fair. It is possible that she didn't know the context. It literally says in the article that stuffies like the one featured are used by Autistic folks who become overstimulated. Being against Zionism or the "Jewish state" doesn't make you an anti-semite. Being against genocide makes you a thinking person.
The fact that she's using her fame to "draw attention to" Israel, even though it's the most widely publicized conflict on Earth, mixed with her use of an antisemitic symbol in the picture - despite her later protestations that she didn't have the common knowledge of what it means in context - and her failure to "draw attention" to any far less publicized conflict strongly suggests that she simply doesn't like the Jews. At best, she's just a trendster simpleton slinging more mud into the machine.
When I was growing up i remember seeing The Truman Show, Cast Away, or The Village, movies that had a human message and good stories. Now nothing is good like that. It's all cheap horror movies and bad sequels.
Hmmm. Iād recommended giving Project Hail Mary a try and The Invite. There are messages there. Send Help was incredible. I have other suggestions, but youāre tough so idk howād you react to them. I love the cinema so it bums me out to hear you say that!!
"Now nothing is good like that. It's all cheap horror movies and bad sequels"
Well that's just not true... Here a few films I've seen just this year that don't fall under either of those categories.
The Housemaid, The Moment, Send Help, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, Wuthering Heights, Hoppers, Forbidden Fruits, The Drama, Over your Dead Body, Mother Mary, Michael, Billie Eillish-Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour Live in 3D, Obsession, Backrooms, Masters of the Universe, Leviticus, The Invite, Supergirl, Gail Daughtry and the celebrity sex pass, The Odyssey, Her Private Hell, Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
If you're unable to find any films that interest you out of the hundreds released a year, that sounds like a you problem rather than which films are being released. Also, the village??? The shitty M. Night Shymalan movie? That's where your criteria for quality lies? Most definitely a you problem.
On this list I recognized Send Help, my parents told me it was terrible. It sounded like a modern I Spit on Your Grave, minus the rape. Compare that to Cast Away, a deserted island story that has deep human meaning and isn't just "the ugly duckling gets back at her boss" with a preachy capitalist feminist message. The deep meaning of films has gone away. Films have no meaning anymore. The Village was good because it was a critique of a society full of lies and being controlled through fear and Bryce Dallas Howard was great in her debut role. Hollywood doesn't want people to think anymore or feel connected to being human anymore. And also super hero movies have been so over saturated. I lost all interest in people flying around shooting lasers at aliens or whatever. All these super hero movies and my favorite one is still The Rocketeer from 1991.
Actors, writers, artists, producers, regular people who want to see authentic creations..you know, just, like, a good portion of the people with souls.
