Quote:
A modest but intelligent and extremely effective adaptation of John Wyndham’s novel The Midwich Cuckoos, about a small English village which mysteriously and inexplicably succumbs to a 24-hour trance-like sleep, after which the womenfolk all discover that they are pregnant. The alien children, strangely alike in appearance, prove to be endowed with telepathic and kinetic powers…You don’t get much explanation, and the overall plot may not withstand detailed analysis. But the atmosphere and pace are superbly handled, and the performances of the sinister, inhumanly intelligent ‘children’ never falter. The allegorical possibilities (generation gap?) are there, but they don’t get in the way.

The post Rita Nunes – O Melhor dos Mundos AKA The Best of All Worlds (2024) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
The animated companion to Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell seeks to delve even deeper into the nature of identity than its predecessor, distinguishing itself with a more political story and its backdrop as the advent of the information age. An animated art film is a nigh-singular achievement. It’s a cross-section of two genres you almost never get, and a great one to boot.

Motoko the cyborg ponders the nature of self. When a completely artificial body gains a ghost, or soul/identity, she drifts into solipsism and begins to doubt the notion that her identity even exists. She feels that maybe her actual brain tissue has died or was taken over by the electronic portion. This is important because another theme of this movie is “from many come one (E Pluribus Unum),” or the singular life created by all of us. Is individuality inherent or is it created by your environment, defeating its purported usefulness? Has the internet (or this film’s vision of it, the film’s also quite prescient) that her brain can access taken over her personality completely? This is a metaphor for having one’s individuality disappearing into an interconnected world.

It then turns out that the Puppet Master wants to essentially mate with her because she is who she is. The film ends with their “offspring” (Motoko’s head mounted on a child-cyborg body, in a bit of obvious symbolism) looking into the future. This is a callback to the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey, when the new stage in evolution looks upon the world, ready for everyone to progress. The separation of body and soul in identity has been another major theme, but that the puppet master seems to embrace both aspects of her identity. This very cold movie therefore makes a fairly heartfelt statement about love: your individuality is what attracts people to you, and that’s its purpose on a primal level.

Nevertheless, Tang Zhijun continues to believe in alien life forms and heads to the mountainous southwest of China, to investigate after watching a mysterious online video.

The post Dashan Kong – Yu Zhou Tan Suo Bian Ji Bu AKA Journey to the West (2021) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A child has only an 8 day life-span to complete a mysterious journey from the dim cave-dwelling society where he is born to a final gateway, the object of folklore. The abstract learning-games taught to the child bear an eerie resemblance to mammoth tasks and obstacles that hinder him in his journey. Can he complete the quest before his 8 days are up, and what lies at the end of this arcane sunless world? The gray, stagnating civilization place all their hope in a future they cannot comprehend and learned tasks whose meaning they no longer understand.
