@TheSpaceshipper He’s absolutely right and it’s a shame because it’s a massive achievement in filmmaking. Not many movies feel like a spiritual experience but this is one of them. Third act is also heavily misunderstood. So much so that I created a YT channel just to explain it 🤓

Twenty-five years ago, in the days after 9/11, Iranians filled Tehran's squares with candles for the American dead, watched by the same security forces that still oppress them today.

While global news networks were broadcasting shocking footage of celebrations in the Middle East region, the people of Iran stood as a profound, solitary exception of human empathy for Americans. The regime chanted death. Our people offered light. Iranians and Americans have never been enemies. We share one common enemy: the Islamic fanaticism that murdered the 2,977, and that has held my country hostage for 47 years. We also share a fundamental common value: liberty. Liberty is the cornerstone on which America is built and what Iranians are fighting for today.

If you are feeling uneasy about the amount of scientists that have gone missing, died, and recent suicides ref those scientists and others you are correct in your intuition. Something is up.

I have got update from inside Iran for those who are genuinely worried.

Mainstream media is spreading nonsense to exploit your worry and save the regime.

My mom called this morning, she had to call cause internet’s cut again (it is a war crime). Explosions are louder than the 12-day war, but everyone is calm: strikes are precise, mostly away from homes. For nearby targets (mosques, IRGC/Basij bases in neighborhoods), people get phone warnings to evacuate first,consistent with 12 day war.

Even near Persian new year holidays, families are staying home as President @realDonaldTrump and Prince @PahlaviReza advised, avoiding schools and public spots because the regime uses them as human shields.

That’s why we in exile thank @POTUS and @netanyahu : they go to great lengths to protect civilians while the regime deliberately hits crowded areas to cause maximum casualties, not just in Israel, but also in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and Qatar.

Our only real worries: the regime itself, their faulty Chinese missiles, and their constant use of human shields.

Remember 2020: after striking the US base in Iraq, they shot down a civilian Iranian plane full of families and kids, hoping Trump would hit back so they could play victim (a Russian-style tactic). They miscalculated, Trump didn’t retaliate and we painfully saw what this regime is truly capable of.

Stay calm. No one wants war, but this cancer leaves no other option but surgery.

Be patient, stay hopeful, and pray for American & Israeli heroes and for Iranians to come through safely.

"We could have been by the end of this year, surely by the end of 82, something truly viable. And what are we now?"

We don't just grieve the Shah, we grieve the life we were meant to have, and the question that still haunts every Iranian heart: what could we have been?

One of the most powerful images of the Iranian revolution against tyranny is that of an Iranian young woman burning Khamenei’s portrait ، and lighting her cigarette with it.

Last night, while I was looking around the storage room for one of Udo’s starring works, I found a DVD of “Sunshine (2007),” a film I used to love. I had actually bought it. I only remember seeing the movie once at the theater. A hard sci-fi film by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. Watching it now, you realize the cast was incredibly stacked—even though they weren’t widely known at the time. Cillian Murphy and Benedict Wong from the Danny Boyle troupe; Michelle Yeoh and Hiroyuki Sanada; and Chris Evans and Cliff Curtis before their big break. What a lineup. I love how the first half is an intellectual kind of sci-fi.

[Bruce McGonigal @bruce_mcgonigal]

🇨🇦🪶🔫 : CPC MP Scott Anderson just blasted the CFIA and Liberal government for spending millions of dollars to conduct the mass inhumane slaughter of ostriches at the Universal Ostrich Farm.

The government fired hundreds of rounds into a kill pen at night, that took several hours to complete. No doubt the ostriches panicked and ran frantically around as the shots rang out, hour after hour.

The government did this to ensure the farm owners & protesters could hear every single shot fired.

This is Canada now folks. This is what fascism truly is. Terrorizing local citizens with 100+ RCMP officers as otherwise healthy birds are executed, in a show of government force.

@OwenWest91 @TheCinesthetic Just because the film goes where you didn't like, doesn't make it objectively bad. People need to realize that Garland + Boyle collaborations don’t follow a strict formula, they veer off in unexpected directions, shift tones, but always remain thematically coherent.

[Sunshine 2007 (Official Fan Account) @Sunshine__2007]

Sounds like a recap of Sunshine. Although Sunshine had plenty of foreshadowing. Will audiences finally understand that Boyle Garland collabs often do this? No, its not studio interference, no they didn't run out of ideas. This is procedural. Unfortunately, some will be put off by the change in tone and that's okay!

My Fellow Countrymen,

The Islamic Republic has reached its end and is in the process of collapsing. Khamenei, like a frightened rat, has gone into hiding underground and has lost control of the situation. What has begun is irreversible. The future is bright, and together, we will pass through this sharp turn in history.

In these difficult days, my heart is with all the defenseless citizens who have been harmed and have fallen victim to Khamenei's warmongering and delusions. For years, I have tried to prevent our homeland from being consumed by the fire of war.

The end of the Islamic Republic is the end of its 46-year war against the Iranian nation.

The regime’s apparatus of repression is falling apart. All it takes now is a nationwide uprising to put an end to this nightmare once and for all.

Now is the time to rise; the time to reclaim Iran. Let us all come forward—from Bandar Abbas to Bandar Anzali, from Shiraz to Isfahan, from Tabriz to Zahedan, from Mashhad to Ahvaz, from Shahr-e Kord to Kermanshah—and bring about the end of this regime.

Do not fear the day after the fall of the Islamic Republic. Iran will not descend into civil war or instability. We have a plan for Iran’s future and its flourishing. We are prepared for the first hundred days after the fall, for the transitional period, and for the establishment of a national and democratic government—by the Iranian people and for the Iranian people.

To the military, law enforcement, security forces, and state employees—many of whom have been sending me messages in recent days—I say: Do not stand against the Iranian people for the sake of a regime whose fall has begun and is inevitable. Do not sacrifice yourselves for a decaying regime. By standing with the people, you can save your lives. Play a historic role in the transition from the Islamic Republic, and take part in building the future of Iran.

A free and flourishing Iran lies ahead of us. May we be together soon.

Long live Iran!
Long live the Iranian nation!
