    Sinners was a GREAT movie, but I feel like someone should have warned me about the spitting. Same with Disobedience.

    When Sebastian Lelio made a movie out of Disobedience, my first novel, he learned a lot about Orthodox Judaism and eventually said he’d decided to shoot the film as if it was a very intimate close-up view of a science fiction world.

    I don’t get this. A bunch of people asked him to stop filming them protesting and doing civil DISobedience, he got upset, so they told him to leave their group, and now he’s gonna film them anyway? Is he like paparazzi for protestors? Meanwhile, impotent white dudes cheer. Ezra klein 2.0.

    What is a movie that's in your top 25 that is unlikely to be in anyone else's? Disobedience (2017). Rachel Weisz og Rachel McAdams. Egen oppvekst som transkjønnet, i reformistisk luthersk prestefamilie engang midt i forrige århundre, gjorde dette til toppfilm. Fortsatt topp.

    Film jeg har sett mer enn seks ganger. Ingen. Det får være grenser Har sett Disobedience kanskje tre ganger, og Once Upon a Time in the West, kanskje tre (den er lang). Kanonene på Navarone, Some Like it Hot, The Magnificent Seven. Vaiert, dette. The Shawshank Redemprion. Én gang. Mer enn nok.

  • Data Diva @datadiva.bsky.socialBluesky · Feb 16, 2025

    I mostly agree. The problem is that nonviolent resistance depends a lot on a media that shows it, and shows your oppressors as the brutal ones. That’s why it took a century after On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience was written for it to really be put into practice. Ghandi was helped by film footage

    Currently obsessed with the movie Disobedience for…reasons and recently heard someone (maybe @swordsjew.bsky.social?) say that Rachel McAdams looks like a Guinness poured on top of a shamrock, and I’m fairly certain a more accurate description of a person’s physicality has never existed.

    On Nobody Wants This: haven’t seen it but it sounds like (as with so much American Jewish stuff) it has not escaped from the shadow of Portnoy. However I’d also say: my worst reviews for Disobedience (book & film) were from Jews. Jewish self-loathing is real both among creators and reviewers.

    Reminds me of the movie Disobedience, wherein Rachel McAdams wears a sheitel. Is it giving in to the patriarchy, participating in the religion? being comfortable with tradition? Whatever the reason, it's that person's choice.

    Anyway, the movie was Disobedience. The commenter complained that it didn’t feel like the community was alive and it didn’t feel like Esti was connected to it, saying we were told she was but not shown. WHICH WAS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT! HOW CAN SOMEONE’S TAKE BE SO BAD?!

    A well-told love story, set against a background of religious orthodoxy > An important point to make from the outset is that Jewish law does not teach that it is forbidden to be a homosexual. On the contrary, Jewish law is concerned not with the source of a person's erotic urges nor with inner feelings, but with acts. The Torah forbids the homosexual act, known as mishkav zakhar, but has nothing to say about homosexuality as a state of being or a personal inclination. > In other words,…

    Except from a conversation about the movie: "I think Disobedience could get some Oscar attention. It's depressing Jewish lesbians, so chances are pretty high. It was actually a pretty decent movie. Really didn't overplay the onscreen sex, which was good, but I do wish there were queer movies which were more middle of the spectrum.
