One of the few YT channels I'll just stop, tap, and watch. Just dropped.

A repeated trap in #cinema is where the director sets out to make a film to expose a villain, but the public embraces them as the hero they had been waiting for. Case in point: Wolf of Wall Street, but even James Bond too, not the films but the books, we were supposed to despise him.
And here today, we have world leaders turning to another fictional role-model:

Godard said, "All you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun". 3 guys take this quote way too literally and try to make a movie with just a girl and a gun.

RE: #cinema #spielberg
A #cinema #documentary #anthropology question:
Years ago I saw a low-budget doc about anthropologists visiting Zanskar #Tibet before the first Chinese road arrived. They interviewed the king, a doctor, and a kind elder who only wanted to talk gossip and kept refilling their barley beers.
Today all I can find by Search are glowing big-budget praises of China in Tibet.
Does anyone else recall that earlier doc?
