Best International Film 2020
« on: February 15, 2020, 09:23:41 PM »
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood - "Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer (Matthew Rhys) is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his skepticism, learning about kindness, love and forgiveness from Tytor's most beloved neighbor."

Star Trek: Rouge
The film follows the efforts of the crew of the USS Dauntless as they first investigate and then set out to rescue Picard, a task hard for the Captain who was raised by Picard, culminating in a daring raid on the Tal'Shiar's headquarters and an all or nothing space battle as they make their escape. When the mission is accomplished there is a  poignant passing of the torch moment as the Dauntless takes on the mantle with a new name - USS Enterprise.

Genre: Science Fiction
Nation: Achkaerin
Outline: 2412: When Jean-Luc Picard disappears during a Romulan incursion into Federation territory the great man is accused of treason, a position made all the more believable when a subsequent Romulan attack puts Picard in the Captain's chair of the warbird carrying out the assault! Deciding there is no choice other than to hunt down their most esteemed Captain Starfleet sends the USS Dauntless under the command of Captain Emma Thrace and her handpicked crew after him with orders to eliminate the threat. However when the estranged daughter of the ships XO, a survivor of the attack, gives a different version of the story the crew of the Dauntless find themselves caught in a dangerous game where one false move could be their last as they try to determine whether Picard is a rogue or not.

A Time of Darkness

Spoiler: show
The movie made by Samira Hanifnejad, Tamora’s most acclaimed filmmaker whom also won an Ozzie last year for her movie Silence. A time of Darkness details life in Clysperis under the Soviet occupation (1949-1977) as seen through the eyes of children living in the country trying to convey the viewers the sense of helplessness ordinary Clsyperi were feeling as the events unfolded and the country was occupied by the massive USR. As in previous movies, Samira Hanifnejad makes use of black and white rather than color to better to make the viewer more in touch with the events taking place. The movies shows the brutality of the Soviet regime, the systematic attempt to destroy the culture and religion of Clysperis and ends with the eventual arrival of the Tamoran troops and the beginning of the Tamoran protectorate of Clysperis (which lasted between 1977-1982). The movie enjoyed a massive success in Tamora and also ranked first in boxoffice of Abuqiya.

Link to the trailer: The movie is not based off a RL one, here is the trailer as it was originally posted in the news section.


Little Women

"Writer-director Greta Gerwig has crafted a Little Women that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author’s alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life.  In Gerwig’s take, the beloved story of the March sisters – four young women each determined to live life on her own terms --  is both timeless and timely."


Pokemon Amy's Quest


Title: Pokémon: Amy's Quest
Genre: Children's/Animation/Adventure
Nation: Achkaerin
Outline: Set years after the television series meet Amy who sets out on her Pokémon journey but this is no run around the gym's, she's setting out to solve the great mysteries of the Pokémon world and to find her father who hasn't been heard from for a few years having disappeared suddenly.
