The Seed of the Sacred Fig hits hard with how state oppression bleeds into a living room, turning it into hell. The opening story of a seed rotting its host directly parallels how a missing gun turns a family against each other, as the father morphs into a monster.

When the boundary between fact, assumption, and connotation blurs, news shifts away from its informative function toward producing judgment. What the report leaves unsaid, the photograph conveys; what the photograph omits, association completes.

My budgie got sick and the private vet's treatment didn't help, so I took him to the university animal hospital today. They ran a full checkup and did some imaging. I really hope the meds work—I'm so worried something bad is going to happen.

The ugly truth is a radical act because it refuses to be marketable. The system can market sadness and resilience but it cannot easily market systemic guilt. Knowing is a burden!

A seasoned writer and translator mentor of mine once explained the palimpsest to me. Before paper existed, back when parchment was used, earlier texts would be scraped away to write new ones. Yet the original writing was never entirely erased; it always lingered, faint beneath the surface. >

In his work The Poetics of Space, Bachelard defines the emotional and refuge-like bond that humans establish with space as "topophilia." According to him, spaces that possess the quality of a sanctuary serve the function of enabling the individual to daydream and maintain their inner integrity.

Whenever I was sad as an undergrad, I’d go to the wooded hilltop above the faculty. I frequently went there in grad school to clear my mind. Though younger, I had no fear. Now, I reach the top but fear entering the woods. Perhaps I was just inexperienced about life back then.

I’ve started watching Cape Fear. This mini-series adaptation starring J. Bardem really brings that raw, unpredictable threat and psychological dread from Scorsese’s 1991 film into a modern light. The tension is incredibly high, and the whole story is built right around the invasion of safe spaces.

I was really looking forward to Spielberg's Disclosure Day, which came out in June, but it ended up being a total letdown. The issue is a mismatch between Spielberg’s instinct for massive, grand storytelling and the actual core of the plot. The narrative is supposed to be a cold, >

Shallow feminism mistakes the film's nature imagery for the ideological stance. Zhao deconstructs patriarchal codes. Agnes is not passive; through her healing, she represents an autonomous female wisdom resisting the world. The film's greatest strength lies in honoring this deep-rooted knowledge.

When analyzing structural shifts in the film industry, it is essential not to confuse corporate management failures with legacies that shaped cinema history.Critiquing Disney’s formulaic strategies by devaluing foundational works like Star Wars—which built modern cinema culture—is a flawed approach.

Tragedy is a tragedy, independent of the race, or geography of those who endure it. A child clinging to their mother’s shoes and weeping expresses the same devastation anywhere in the world—be it in Rwanda or Palestine.. There is no hierarchy of suffering. Unfortunately, in this world, there is.

Jojo Rabbit is one of those movies in the comfortable basket where the film industry finds it safe to fund, narrate, and reward. It is technically well-crafted, balancing humor and tragedy good. But...!

Defining freedom as a state of mind renders structural barriers, economic inequalities, and mechanisms of oppression invisible. If freedom were merely a mental state, it would imply that a prisoner in a cell or a worker crushed under debt is unfree only because they fail to think correctly.

The difference is that an Aboriginal hunter acts out of biological necessity, and once that need is met, they truly cross into the realm of freedom—painting and storytelling for no other purpose than the act itself. The hunter is free because he knows when the hunt is over. Do we?

I watched Project Hail Mary. Technically, it isn't very good, with its disjointed scenes and a fantastical narrative that glosses over the laws of physics. It tips its hat to the communication aesthetics of Arrival and Spielberg’s musical spirit. >

I learned of the passing of Erdoğan Özmen, the psychiatrist and writer whose writings in Birikim magazine I’ve read faithfully for years. His work on mourning feels poignant now. He was someone I deeply admired; despite never meeting him, I felt a paternal presence in his work. May he rest in peace.

I watched the film The Hours. It turned out to be about Virginia Woolf's life; had I known, I wouldn't have watched it. This might be a prejudice, but she was never an important writer to me. I haven't read her books either; the image of the elitist suffering genius diminishes its literary value.

Today I encountered a profound irony: focusing has been turned into a service with an application. Capitalism first steals your attention, then sells you products to help you focus. What is actually being sold is the image of an efficient person.

Kurosawa shows us how the spirits of cut-down trees mourn and how they will never blossom again. Because nature is not just a resource, but a living, feeling being. He emphasizes that when our connection with it is broken, it will never return.

Osman Sembene's film Xala is a Wolof word. It is also the film's key metaphor. In both senses, alongside an impotent political administration, there is always a Frenchman with a briefcase. Power changes, but this man never does. The political agenda always brings this film to my mind.
