The Indies Are Dying. Long Live the Indies

The pay-one window is gone, the presale market has dried up and dealmaking at Cannes is at a standstill. But the audience for independent film hasn’t gone anywhere — it’s just waiting to be reached in new ways.

出电影院立刻查T.E.劳伦斯哪年死的。说起来也有点地狱,不过他确实1935年就因为摩托事故去世了。不用看到阿拉伯人起义反抗大英帝国也是幸事,不过他那个时候大约不想跟阿拉伯有任何瓜葛了吧?
因为在读劳伦斯传记所以对这电影的历史背景知道了多一点。但是看到阿拉伯游击队炸铁路的时候还是觉得英国这是因果报应啊。当年一战的时候需要阿拉伯人就指挥他们炸汉志铁路。反手签了贝尔福宣言以后福报可不就是被阿拉伯人炸铁路。
挺喜欢里面匿名写作的阿拉伯女记者,等到尤素夫弟弟出狱还等在外面,说明她没有忘记尤素夫请她帮忙。只是我同情这弟弟出狱以后发现哥哥参加起义死了,祖父母被炸死,房子没了,家里只剩母亲还有逃到耶路撒冷不知道能不能回家的妹妹。我也喜欢最后女记者摘下婚戒还给丈夫,自己走进游行队伍。
BBC参与拍这电影也算媒体赎罪券吧,毕竟确实是英国当初搞出来的遗留问题。

What “Palestine 36” Means to Palestinians Watching in Los Angeles

I watched #Palestine36

It's OK, informative, well made.

For me it lacked engaging characters and a driving story.

It's worth a watch.
