In German cinema ..we are a fatherless generation. There was no legitimate German culture anymore. Not in film. Not anywhere. - WERNER HERZOG

Like nastia yeremenko’s video TwoLoves, the film Stations Of The Cross is moving and nuanced or distanced at the same time it is in german with english subtitles she feels very alone in the world which only comes out once a docter saves her from her mom by hospitalizing her, which she is glad about, as if a hospital is sometimes a place where we can truly be ourselves she thinks because of the 7 deadly sins god wants her to die to unify with him she wants to die and she wants the doctors not to safe her, and she does not want to be alone at the same time, and asks her friend bernadette to stay on her bedside always. in short i am so impressed by the intervention of the doctor to send her to hospital, against the threats of the mother. she just wants harmony with the bullying mother and feels guilty for anything that upsets the mother and takes upon herself the guilt of any conflict she finds herself in. then her body begins to fail her, i haven’t finished the film yet.

WAR ON LEBANON: EMPATHY AS IDF IDEOLOGY

EMPATHY FOR SOLDIERS SHOULD NOT ERASE OUR ABILITY TO ASK WHY THEY KILL. THE BLIND SPOT OF THE FILM "LEBANON" IS THAT ITS EMPATHY IS A WEAPON

“rule of law in disintegrating in Israel, at least for its Palestinian citizens – they are left to themselves, alone; they cannot appeal to any higher agency … when they are attacked..: the openly racist extreme right … is more and more recognized as legitimate -#SlavojZizek https://t.co/DVEk1YSbXx”

“Now that this facade of respect for the law is dissolving, it is not enough to say that the reality we see now was the truth behind the appearance … Appearances are essential; they oblige us to act in a certain way – so without the appearance the way we act also changes -#Zizek https://t.co/JUlRUQnR0O”
