Radical Kino | We remain stranger to ourselves —we understand ourselves not, in ourselves.

[DepressedBergman @DannyDrinksWine]

On this day, 51 years ago, Andrei Tarkovsky's "Mirror" (1975) was released in the Soviet Union.

Andrei Tarkovsky on what "Mirror" (1975) is about & his prediction on the future of movies:

"It is an autobiographical film. The things that happen are real things that happened to people close to me. That is true of all the episodes in the film. But why do people complain that they cannot understand it? The facts are so simple, they can be taken by every one as similar to the experience of their own lives. But here we come up against something that is peculiar to cinema: the further a viewer is from the content of a film, the closer he is; what people are looking for in cinema is a continuation of their lives, not a repetition. There are no entertaining moments in the film. In fact I am categorically against entertainment in cinema: it is as degrading for the author as it is for the audience.

The purpose of 'Mirror', its inspiration, is that of a homily: look, learn, use the life shown here as an example. There are so many films now, and they are all so different, that very soon it will be impossible to plan for distribution to cinemas. That will be the beginning of a new phase in the development of film, which is after all the youngest art form, it is only about seventy years old.

Films will start to be handed out as cassettes, people will take them home, every viewer will find himself face to face with the film he particularly likes. And what of cinema, the mass medium, you may ask ? Mass is not a criterion of quality. The same could be said about the number of people involved in the making of a film. Numbers are not the point. A small team working together is preferable to a large collective."

(Tarkovsky speech in the Building Institute about 'Mirror', 1975)

Book of Human Insects as my first Tezuka manga was wild. I had no idea just how transgressive his works could be. I also remember it feeling surprisingly modern, even I had to stop and remind myself this was from 1970 which made me appreciate it even more.

Alasan kenapa Trump-Vance menang.

Mau nulis ini karena banyak twit seliweran soal kemenangan tahun ini dari kacamata orang-orang yang kalo begaul keknya di circle-circle itu aja. 😅

Jadi taunya, orange man = bad, racist, homophobic, misogynistic, dll. 🤣

Kubu Kamala itu topik yang paling diangkat itu adalah "women's rights", tapi kalo dibedah lagi, sebenernya cuma perkara bisa aborsi apa engga. Banyak misinformation soal Trump di bagian ini. Belio ga pernah ngasih statement pro/kontra soal masalah ini. Menurut belio, the decision should be decided by the people of the state. As in, let the people choose.

Sementara di kubu Republikan, topik yang diangkat itu BANYAK:

- border crisis

Isu ini keknya hampir semua orang udah gedek ama Demokrat. Warga negara mana yang mau perbatasannya bisa dimasukin aja seenaknya kek gitu?

- MSM controlling what we see and hear on the media

Censorship is real. Semenjak X dibeli Elon Musk, baru kedengeran cerita dari DUA sisi. Sebelumnya kalo u melenceng dari agenda MSM, konten lu bisa aja di-take down. 🤣 Makanya selama ini rang-orang taunya MAGA, tuh, racist, dll.

Padahal isinya rakyat biasa yang cinta Amerika, aja, gaes. Truly, the only crime MAGAs committed is loving their country too much: https://t.co/qOINKUo3wk

- kubu kiri yang makin hari makin gila

Transing kids, allowing MEN in women's sports, states diminishing parental rights, etc. Ini ampe golongan LGBT++ juga banyak yang hijrah milih Trump tahun ini. Everybody's just getting tired of all the BS. Semua udah dapet hak untuk menikah, berkeluarga, hidup aman, damai, tenteram. Mau fight buat apalagi?

- the swing states are not that swinging anymore

PA itu bisa menangin Trump karena orang-orang kek @ScottPresler yang rutin turun buat ngajakin orang buat daftar untuk ikut pemilu. Hasilnya, ampe orang Amish pun akhirnya bejibun untuk pertama kalinya ikut pemilu. 🥹

Sementara NC itu baru aja kena banjir bandang dan Biden+Kamala masih keukeuh sibuk ngirim duit ke Ukraine dan tentara-tentara ke Middle East.

People are TIRED of that. America FIRST from now on.

- The whole experience over the last 8 years.

KERASA BANGET bedanya negara ini pas masih di bawah Trump ama sekarang pas di bawah Joe+Kamala. Harga-harga melejit naik, housing crisis, weak military, etc.

Just based on performance aja, lebih banyak yang puas sama hidupnya pas dipimpin ama Trump vs Joe+Kamala.

The people want that back.

Banyak tempat yang mayoritasnya orang kulit hitam dan Hispanics tapi kebanyakan milih Trump. The race card the Democrats has been pulling, did not work anymore.

Makanya seliweran hestek #BlacksForTrump, #HispanicsForTrumps, ampe #GaysForTrump. Imigran-imigran LEGAL juga banyakan pro-Trump keknya.

Dari kubu Kamala yang ngetren keknya cuma hestek #WhiteDudeForHarris. Which is, kinda sad.

- @RobertKennedyJr yang ngendors Trump dan ngangket isu soal betapa ga sehatnya makanan-makanan di Amerika ini. Sama ngangket isu vaccine LIABILITY. Slogannya #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain, tuh, disambut baik sama orang-orang.

- figur-figur besar Republikan yang sekarang, kek @JDVance ama @VivekGRamaswamy, tuh, are excellent public speaker. Kalian kalo denger mereka ngomong ato debat, pasti terkesima. Apalagi Vance yang keliatan banget nguasain semua topik.

Ga usah dibandingin ama Walz, bandingin ama Kamala aja, JAUH. All of her "performances" were scripted. It's as if she is incapable of having thoughts of her own.

-----

Also, it is VERY important to note that America is not made of JUST the Californians and the New Yorkers. So much more to it than what the media has been showing you.

Just absolutely thrilled to have Trump back as my husband's Commander in Chief. I have never met anyone from the military who wants to be led by Kamala. 🤣

Congratulations, Americans!

You chose WELL! 🥳

Buat malu Indonesia anjirr!

Beberapa oknum PMI di Jepang ini bikin geng dan membuat resah orang2 yang mereka temui, mereka membawa pisau dan mengancam orang2 yang mau lewat. Kasihan para warga Indonesia yang taau ntr kenak getahnya. Mending di deportasi nih orang2.

Nih tandaiin ges muka2 orangnya

[髙橋/闇を暴く人 @Parsonalsecret]

日本のメディアは取り上げていませんがインドネシア人達が日本でギャングを結成して刃物を持って集まったりしてそれを投稿している。まだ若いので自転車の二人乗りで大阪にたむろしたり大事件は起こしていないがインドネシアでは報道されている。遅かれ早かれ問題になるぞ。日本人の不良とは訳が違う。

彼らは集まって通行人を妨害したり、投稿に対してコメントした人たちを脅したりしている。

今のうちに潰しておいた方がいいな。
