Styx (2018)
Interesting film on morality and privilege
As a movie that caters to the Western audience, Styx provides an interesting avenue through which viewers who live with privilege and luxuries are able to encounter the complexities of forced migration through the eyes of Rike. I don't necessarily believe that this film depicts a story of a white hero but rather it is the director's attempt at capturing the experiences of forced migrants without hindering its important nuances and sentiments with his own biases. If you appreciate films that convey thought-provoking messages, then you will definitely enjoy Styx!
Schindler's List (1993)
a must-see film!
Schindler's List is a powerful film that not only reimagines Holocaust events with brutal realism but also provides a cinematic representation of grief and tragedy. This film is a great example of how screenplay, film direction, acting, and cinematography can collectively tell a vivid story, even for sensitive and controversial ones such as the events of the Holocaust. Its success as a film is one of the many ways this conversation is kept alive- fostering and encouraging empathy and compassion for others in generations to come.
