The one good recent American sci-fi film, Annihilation, was good because it emulated Soviet cinema.

It was so-so, :colbert: with a bad plot and nice visuals. I'm excited for Claire Denis' High Life though:

It share superficial characteristics with Stalker.

If you remove the stupid interludes where Portman is explaining what happened to the government scientist*, it's basically a Tarkovsky movie.

It's not just "superficial" similarities to Stalker, but tonal and subtextual similarities to not only Stalker but Solaris as well, and Soviet science fiction in general.

* (I assume those were shoehorned in by the studio because Americans are dumber than Russians)

There's one scene in Solaris in which a group of scientists and functionaries interviews a pilot who has flown above the sea of Solaris, in which he accounts for
a strange vision or mirage, apart from that I don't think they are very similar. (The scene in question.)

I can't think of a single thing Annihilation and Stalker have in common except for the mysterious zone, and the protagonists quests to the centre of it. How they enter, what they encounter as they progress, and what exists in that centre is wildly different. Not to speak of formal questions such as editing and framing. I haven't seen Annihilation since it was released so maby I'm forgetting something?

This is the first time I heard that human activity can actually make the world greener..NASA, you trippin..

Killing 80-90% of the Native Americans led to a notable decrease of the amount of co2 in the atmosphere due to reforestation.

If China Unscripted is their podcast, China Uncensored is their youtube channel





I'm glad to see that the falun gong has adapted well to the web 3.0 economy.
