A Thought-Provoking Papal Drama
If you guys get a chance to watch this, don't miss it. #AcademyAward winning film about a cat and a group of animals trying to survive a post apocalyptic world. It's the absolute opposite of the #Disney #Pixar nonsense that is fed to kids but it's perfect for adults as well. My kids were thrown from one emotion to another, crying and laughing. Truly incredible. You won't regret it.

"We're Off to See the Wizard" is one of the classic songs from the #AcademyAward-winning 1939 film #TheWizardOfOz. Composer #HaroldArlen described it, along with "#TheMerryOldLandOfOz" and "#DingDongTheWitchIsDead", as one of the "lemon drop" songs of the film. The lyrics are by #EYYipHarburg. The melody's first appearance begins with the #Munchkins reciting and #JudyGarland echoing "Follow the #YellowBrickRoad".

#Palestinian Filmmaker Demands End to US-Backed '#EthnicCleansing' of #Gaza, #WestBank in Oscar Speech
"There is a different path, a political solution without #EthnicSupremacy," said Israeli filmmaker Yuval Abraham. "The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path."
by Julia Conley, Mar 03, 2025
"The winner of the 2025 #AcademyAward for Best Documentary Feature Film has been unable to obtain distribution in #theaters or on #StreamingPlatforms in the U.S.—despite being the highest-grossing Oscar-nominated documentary in the rest of the world—but American viewers were able to hear directly from its filmmakers on Sunday night in speeches that condemned the U.S.-backed 'ethnic cleansing' of Palestinians.
"The directors behind #NoOtherLand, Israeli journalist #YuvalAbraham and Palestinian activist and lawyer #BaselAdra, accepted the Oscar while speaking out about the subject matter of their film, which was filmed between 2019-23, before Israel began its bombardment of Gaza in retaliation for a Hamas-led attack.
"'When I look at Basel, I see my brother, but we are not equal,' Abraham said. 'We live under a regime where I enjoy freedom under civil law, and where he is governed by military laws.'
"Adra and Abraham made the film to tell the story of #MasaferYatta, a collection of towns in the occupied #WestBank where Adra lives and where Israeli authorities and settlers have been attacking and evicting residents for years—claiming Israel has a right to use the land for a military training facility. The film chronicles Israeli soliders' killing of Adra's brother and their attacks on West Bank communities by demolishing homes, tearing down playgrounds, and filling water wells with cement so Palestinians cannot rebuild."

"The Brutalist" gets its first win of the evening for cinematography. Here's cinematographer Lol Crawley talking to @Variety about why he shot in VistaVision.
There were two of us to watch a moment in the lives of various animals brought together by an unspecified series of incidents, and a part of their journey in a familiar, strange world.
Sound design, animal behavior, and details are phenomenal; cat sounds, capybara chill, lemur upright.
