    I'm not sure I have ever seen a more savage movie review headline than the Guardian's dismissal of Melania as a "trash remake of The Zone of Interest."

    If you're looking for a free movie streamer, see if your local library does @kanopy.com. They've currently got The Zone of Interest, Minority Report, I Saw the TV Glow, The Conversation, the original Indian Jones movies, etc. Also rare older stuff like Trace of Stones (1966). Kanopy is neat.

    *watching The Zone Of Interest* ah, I see how this movie about everyday people's self-exonerative complicity in the face of a great historical atrocity is actually about the self-exonerative complicity of everyday people today, of everyone really—everyone else, that is, everyone except myself.

    In the Zone of Interest movie what horrifies us is the Nazis acting as if there’s nothing happening behind the walls. These Israelis know that there are starving children and simply find it funny to pretend to give a sh*t

    Many people across the world will never have the opportunity to visit the museum at Auschwitz-Birkenau, or attend memorial services like yesterday's. That is why I am thankful that a film like The Zone of Interest exists, created in partnership with the Museum to preserve memory.

    "Human beings can compartmentalize their humanity." that is probably the most terrifying fact of our lives. see "The Zone of Interest"--numbingly horrific film of everyday family life adjacent to Auschwitz. "They Have Blueberries"-- home videos & family snapshots of Nazis. Epstein island?

    It's Feb 2026, but its 1936 all over again. Mass concentration camp construction, hunting down anyone not part of the master race, the execution of innocent people in the streets.

    Looked up Rudolf Höss after watching The Zone of Interest and apparently he regretted not killing his own kids and himself when the war ended. Which I suppose fits in thematically with the movie, that there was no part of this guy that wasn't fucking shit.

    Also finally watched The Zone of Interest. What a movie! Captures mundanity of evil & complicity born from convenience.
