Here is my extremely spoiler-heavy review for Digger (link below). The long and the short of it is that it is a masterpiece, albeit one which is open to many possible critiques and misinterpretations.
Alexis Moon@AMoonWriterOct 3
Review coming later, but preliminary thoughts on DIGGER: While there are some critiques I understand, appreciate, and take seriously, I think a lot of critics (especially American ones) are coming away feeling attacked. The claims of didacticism are extremely overblown.

Les Occidentaux qui découvrent que le reste du monde ne considère pas Mao et Lenin comme des monstres. Votre prisme n’est pas universel

Attends les chinois s’en prennent à mbappé parce qu’il a dit que Mao Zedong est un dictateur ?? Un mec qui a provoqué une famine qui a fait entre 30 et 45 MILLIONS de morts. Il a persécuté, humilié et exécuté…purgé ses opposants Vous voulez qu’on dise le GOAT c’est ça ???

Ireland's reputation for having subpar cuisine has everything to do with a history of colonialism and capitalism, and nothing to do with the very wonderful traditional dishes. Extreme poverty and famine narrowed the scope of what is otherwise a very solid national cuisine.

First sentence, sure, not the others: understanding is academic, quasi-scientific—in criticism, faux-objective. Criticism is also literary, subjective, prophetic, political, contentious; self-questioning is part of it, but the impersonal "maybe" is as reductive as thumbs up/down.
Robert Rubsam@rob_rubsam12h
On a deeper level I'm sick of criticism that operates as a form of correction, like a schoolteacher grading papers. Critique is meant to be a path to understanding. Its primary posture should be "maybe."

Interestingly, in North America the trend is that people never pay for things on their birthday, meanwhile in Europe the trend is that when it's your birthday you take all your friends out and treat them.

Pet peeve of mine is adults that make a very big deal about their birthdays & expect that their friends are obligated to participate

In 1976, the U.S. government funded one of the most psychedelic short films ever made. It was filled with odd images and occult symbols. 🎬 from 200 (1976) by Vince Collins.

Last night I gave a lecture on La Jetee to a prison classroom and basically everyone in the class loved the movie. People who try to tell you that difficult or experimental art is only for educated nerds are wrong, that’s just shit that giant corporations want you to believe.
