woman must be ruled. They are happier when ruled.

I predict a lonely life for you, Crow lol

A very good film I saw recently is: In the Land of Blood and Honey, set in Sarajevo during the Balkan Wars.

Could be better in some aspects, imho, but this is the only film about "rape camps" set up by Serbs during the Bosnian War that I've seen or even heard about, so it's worth watching for that reason alone.

Another film based on facts that I can recommend is "The Red Sea Diving Resort" ("Operacja Bracia" in Polish) with the lead role played by Chris Evans (Captain America from Marvel films). It's about a secret Israeli operation during which Jewish-Ethiopian refugees who suffered persecution in Sudan were rescued and taken to Israel. Mossad agents were using a holiday resort as their covert base and were posing as resort's employees. A story like from a movie :)

It's available on Netflix.

That sounds good. I remember that operation happening. Good that the Falashas were able to go to Israel.

Has anyone seen The Mauritanian?

I haven't and have avoided it because I spent several years there and prefer to remember it as it was rather than how Hollywood depicts it. Nevertheless, I sometimes think about watching it.

@Crow

Serbs have no real humour and their culture seems to have been bastardised by Russians.
I'll give it a miss......

I really enjoy movies where one 100-pound chick beats the hell out of six 300-pound WWE dudes because she is smart and quick.

LMAO, yes Novi, but do you know what that does for Lesbians and feminists egos like Paulina and Lenka ?
"Listen to me growl, listen to me roar, I AM WOMAN !"
Those movies are FAKE but it's fun to pretend that there is a Tooth Fairy too.

"The Old Guard" on Netflix. It's a bit depressing, but there are good fighting and shooting scenes in that film, apparently (according to professionals) :):

Yeah...It's so convincing to see a cute 120-pound blonde leading a platoon in Iraq. To make it more realistic, she only talks but never carries her ammo and food.

@Novichok, I haven't seen a film like that yet, I think... Probably because I usually tend to watch films on such topics based on real events.

And as for those...

Has anyone seen The Mauritanian?

I haven't seen it, but as for terror-related topics and films based on facts, I think this one is interesting, also on Netflix:

"6 days":

m.imdb.com/title/tt4703048/

This film is about an operation that made SAS famous - until that time the SAS was almost completely unknown to the general British public, since they kept a low profile :) This hostage rescue operation was not only happening on British soil though - the seige of the Iranian embassy conducted by SAS in 1980 was also being broadcast live on BBC - and thus watched by millions - since there were TV crews outside the embassy filming everything (there's some real TV footage in the film also).

A quote from the IMDb:

"The SAS used only 30 to 35 soldiers in the raid, but they estimate that more than 10,000 people claim to have taken part."

:))

Everyone in the town where SAS had it's base apparently claimed to know "the guy on the balcony" ;D

balcony1

balcony

The thing that was rather shocking from today's perspective, I think, was how late SAS was allowed to enter. Also, the police negotiator got on my nerves a bit at the end (if you watch the movie, you'll probably know why).

The film also offers a bit of a sneak peek of the gear and the training methods used by SAS at that time :)

It's a bit depressing

It's good though. I can recommend. I hope they'll make a sequel :) It's just despite the fantasy motif, it's so realistic at the same time that it's verging on being slightly on the depressive side.

Last weekend I watched a good movie on Netflix - "Don't Look Up" with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett. It's fairly one-sided as far as politics are concerned, but in general it's quite a reality check about today's society. It's a satire, so it's exaggerated, but not that far from reality, imho... It's worth watching, I think, I really recommend it.

poster

Btw, from movie-related stuff - I've just found out today myself - did you know that Sir Christopher Lee, the actor who played the evil wizard Saruman in "the Lord of the Rings":

- was not only a Tolkien fan, but also the only cast member who actually met Tolkien;

- was one of Ian Fleming's inspirations for James Bond character;

- during World War II:

1. he volunteered to the Finnish Army in order to fight in the Winter War against the Soviet Union (he wasn't sent to the frontline though)

2. he volunteered to RAF (at first as a pilot)
3. he served in RAF as an intelligence officer
4. he took part in the Battle of Monte Cassino
5. he said he worked for Special Operations Executive (SOE) and Long Range Desert Group (LRDG), but declined to give details
6. by the end of the war he'd received commendations for bravery from the British, Polish, Czech and Yugoslavian governments
7. after World War II he was hunting Nazi war criminals for the Central Registry of War Criminals and Security Suspects until he decided to give acting a try at age 25.

- he was related to Charlemagne and American general Robert E. Lee;
- he met Prince Yusupov and Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich who killed Rasputin;
- at one point he had to ask the King of Sweden for a permission to marry (and he got it);
- he was a polyglot: he was fluent in Italian, French, German, Spanish and was able to communicate in Greek, Russian and Swedish.

From another thread:

Bobko, have you seen TV series titled "The Three-Body Problem" on Netflix (interesting series, btw)?

I recommend watching it to anyone, really :) I binge-watched all episodes on Easter Monday ;O Just don't watch any trailers or read reviews - I had no idea what it's all about and that made it more interesting to watch :) And don't be put off by the beginning (it's kind of depressing).

It's based on a Chinese novel, btw (but don't google it before watching! ;D)

One of the comments under the trailer on YouTube for "3 Body Problem" series (but don't watch the trailer... even though it's cool! ;D):

"RickyMagnus87
I found this show at around 12:30am. Did not, could not stop watching till almost 6am lol. So good!!!"

So I'm not alone in this ;D
I hope Netflix will make season 2! :O

Anyone see "Baby Reindeer" yet?

It starts off as a kind of conventional stalker narrative and then goes completely off the rails and every time you're suckered into thinking things have a chance to get to normal again the craziest stuff imagineable happens...

It's also kind of a dissection of a lot of 'woke' ideas about sex and sexuality (and how trauma and abuse play out longterm in the victim's life and how there are no easy quick solutions).

@maf
I think every high school require all male students to watch this movie as it was based on a true story of just how devious females can be to ruin a man.

Gross...... I can't imagine what the people who approved this were thinking.... concentration camp romance? no.... (especially with the posters with their faces in a heart shape...

+1

Fiction and Death Camps don't sit well together. Schindler's list only works since it's based on the life of a real person and handles the Auschwitz scenes carefully.

There are enough lowlifes who try to relativise or even deny the reality of what went on. Romantic TV series somehow add to that.
