Robert Pattinson: ‘Twilight was an arthouse movie!’
The Lighthouse is a delirious, black-and-white horror drama about two 19th-Century lighthouse-keepers fending off seagulls, mermaids and their own rum-fuelled madness on a tiny island off the coast of New England. To put it another way, it is a typical Robert Pattinson film. Just over a decade ago, the British actor shot to superstardom by playing a sparkly-skinned, lantern-jawed vampire in the Twilight series. Before that, he set young hearts a-flutter as Hufflepuff hunk Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Oscars 2020: Parasite’s groundbreaking win
No, they didn’t mix up the envelopes. At Sunday’s Academy Awards, Bong Joon-ho’s South Korean black comedy Parasite became the first non-English-language film in the Oscars’ 92-year history to win the overall best picture prize. Bong had already won the prize for best screenplay and best director, and Parasite was the inaugural winner of the best international film prize, the category’s name having been changed from ‘best film in a foreign language’. But it was this groundbreaking grand finale that put the ceremony into cinema’s record books. Not only will 2020 be known as one of those infrequent but not unheard-of years in which the best picture Oscar went to the actual best picture, but it will also be known as the year when the Academy admitted that subtitled films are not intrinsically inferior to ones that aren’t. Film critics and fans were united in celebration on social media, and the mood in the Dolby Theatre appeared to be just as jubilant. To put it mildly, last year’s best picture win for Green Book didn’t get the same reaction.

From Sonic the Hedgehog to Star Wars, are fans too entitled?
In the spring of 2019, director Jeff Fowler announced that the titular character of his new film, the live-action adaptation of Sonic the Hedgehog, would be totally redesigned in the wake of fan backlash to its debut trailer. “Thank you for the support. And the criticism,” he tweeted. “The message is loud and clear... you aren’t happy with the design and you want changes. It's going to happen.” And it did.

A new frontier in Bollywood
Change is afoot in Bollywood. Early this year, Indian screens were hit by trailers of the latest blockbuster, ripe with lavish costumes, songs and dances, and a love story. Matinee idol Ayushmann Khurrana stars in it. And yet, the new film Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (Be Extra Cautious of Marriage) is different – Khurrana plays a man in love with another man.

The films that defy censorship
n 1989 the blooming cinema industry in Sudan came crashing down like the Berlin Wall. On 1 July of that year, a coup saw Omar al-Bashir take power, and until he was deposed in 2019, he pursued a hardline Islamist agenda. Cinema suffered. Support for the production of Sudanese films collapsed, and government-owned cinemas were sold off. Operating cinemas became an unprofitable business, with draconian censorship laws, high taxes and import customs. Sudanese filmmakers were arrested, jailed and tortured, seen as liberal threats to the new government and asked to denounce each other; many of them went into exile. The Sudanese film industry was dead. Or was it?

"The experience of suffering is the wealth of growth", how painful will it be for those who question this statement?
There is a saying that "the experience of hardship is the wealth of our growth", and people who talk like this usually have experienced hardship and come out of it with certain achievements. Therefore, suffering can always be treated as a kind of sharpening in today's memory. Suffering for these people can be used as bragging rights because later they succeeded. However, not all hardships are transformed into a basis for success, and many people have experienced hardships but have not been able to achieve success.

He sacrificed himself to save the environment, but no one thinks he's a hero
When it comes to cultural differences, different cultures have different expressions of the same thing, which is supposed to be an objective phenomenon, and we will eventually gain something by doing comparative studies through such phenomena. However, very often, when a group of people talks about cultural differences, they ignore the objective phenomenon to pursue a paranoid result, and the result of paranoia is to revere a certain culture and consider it as the truth while using various words to deride the different cultures. The result is that cultural differences are ignored or even eliminated, and the culture left behind is necessarily flawless. Not really.

Friends for life together, people can have a few true friends in life
What is a friend? It is a period with you to go through the people, is a certain thing with you to experience people, is a low mood when you give you comfort, is happy to share with you when people. The word friend represents too many meanings, and only one meaning belongs to time. Because a lot of friends eventually lost time.
