Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 10/01/2025Shunji Iwai is slowly turning into my favourite director and film writer. I am in love with how he deals with adolescent isolation, identity, and existentialism. Interestingly, I find that Kantian ethics has a role in his films, especially on the topic of morality. 000

Jorge @jorgesrequiem.bsky.social · 03/01/2025I think we should look at this from a different perspective: why aren't institutions look to hire, train, and guide Americans in the same way they are looking to hire H1-B applicants and to some extent migrant workers? Corporate profits are through the roof, which answers that question well. 100
