Hello all,
This is quite an abstract request. I have a keen interest in technology along with the concept of telecommunications, communication and the systems that allow humans to communicate. As such, the life of Alexander Graham Bell fascinates me with his invention of the telephone and his work with the deaf ..or the concept of the telegraph and its morse code language ..or the life of Brian Wilson with his music involving vocal harmonies, the Theremin instrument thatβs played without touching it, lyrics about telepathic communication with god or invisible vibrations or themes of alienation, and his personal life involving schizoid psychosis and consequently hearing voices too. All sorts of communication systems interest me like telephones, television, radio communication, satellite communication, telegraphs, morse code, sign language, braille, fax machines, even less natural methods of telecommunication like telepathy or psychotic mental illnesses, etc.
A lot of my favourite movies tend to loosely involve these ideas, like i love Contact 1997 for the technology, map systems, radio communication and the question of whether thereβs a god to telecommunicate with, or I love the Mission Impossible films for how omnipresent secret messaging and spy comms tech are, with even the theme song spelling out the letters M I in morse code ( long long short short ). I could go on forever. I recently even read+watched Dune which I didnβt care for but I was really drawn to the telepathy, sign language and in the book there was braille too. Or even if itβs just a small telecommunications scene I donβt mind, like the morse code scene in Panic Room (that scene + Contact + Nell 1994 made me love the theme of communication systems in Jodie Foster films)
I donβt like Arrival though.
Overall any movies centred around the idea of communication systems would be great, or any memorable scenes involving unique systems of communication.
Thank you
Hello everyone. Yesterday I saw this film and wandered if anyone has seen it. It's about 1st Chechen war and it's considered the most realistic film about this war. I think it's pretty popular in Russian war-interested community. Really recommend you to find that film with English subtitles and watch it. Or find a Russian who will translate it while you will watch it. So there is one shocking scene called "Box (means tank), bury the guys". Just so you can understand context: Russians and chechens are fighting for hospital. Chechens used to cut heads and other parts of dead soldier's bodies (irl) So commander decide to destroy and bury bodies by making tank run over them. Here's translation of dialogues:
-
- In an hour Chechens will take the hospital and they'll cut their heads and balls off and throw them to our guys, you, idiot.
-
- You think we can do it?
-
- It's a tank, Bogdan. Run over two times and no trace will left.
2:48:
-
- They're burying guys with tank again.
4:09:
-
- Why are you shooting? For what are you wasting bullets?
-
- Comrades, we're burying our comrades. Salute! Salute of the last honor, as it should be!
Scottish here just watched the film Brat for the first time and thought it was amazing by far the best Russian or even Slavic film I've ever seen. Really looking forward to trying to source out the second film now. Question is I'm curious to know if the film is still watched in Russia much nowadays and is still popular?. In Scotland we had a groundbreaking film Trainspotting in the 90s similarly with gritty themes and it's still very popular. As for the band Nautilus Pompilius I'm really enjoying their music as well. I already knew of Kino and liked their music for a while so glad to find more cool Russian music. Is Nautilus Pompilius a popular band in Russia nowadays still is the question?
