Just finished watching #Antonioni's #blow-up. Couple days ago saw #ZabriskiePoint. It's incredible how storytelling style was completely different in 60s and 70s. Today is (almost) all about the plot, back in the past was (almost) pure visual art + a concept. Entertainment vs. art. Probably now you have a better time when watching a movie, but this evening I and my friends had a one hour conversation about the movie - doesn't happen after a Hollywood blockbuster. The only director that comes to my mind able to blend together visual art/concept + entertainment is #Kubrick. Maybe #Spielberg in some cases (#AI - but that was a Kubrick's project -, #CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind).

The #EU #Commission is preparing to the European #elections in May 2019: a new regulation - if approved - will enforce #censorship. As usual, this attack to the #FreeSpeech is justified with #terrorism and #HateSpeech.

I #mondialisti se ne facciano una ragione: la #diciotti non è una nave da crociera che chiede lo sbarco a suo piacimento, è un'unità navale che risponde all'esecutivo. Nessuno le impedisce di sbarcare, sta semplicemente eseguendo gli ordini, ovvero rimanere al largo. Tra tutte le scuse per giustificare e favorire l'#immigrazione #clandestina, quello del presunto sbarco negato è una delle peggiori.
