you cannot watch a short film made in the 1800s with the same expectations you'd have when watching a feature length movie released yesterday.

you are going to come away disappointed if you want a 1920s film to have the same special effects or story beats as a 2020s film.

special effects, acting styles, editing techniques, story structures, cultural norms, all of these things change with time. you have to meet a movie when it was made to truly appreciate it.

i'm not in the best mood, so i'm just going to be blunt: i wish y'all would put a little effort into basic manners. i wish everyone on here would drop this weird smug, condescending "i know something you don't" shit and just explain why you think someone is mistaken. it's really unpleasant.

i literally have a master's degree in english. i promise, i know what media literacy is. this post was building off something i had already been discussing regarding the fact people dismiss and inaccurately analyze older films because they refuse to reflect on the contexts in which those films were created and the fact that storytelling has evolved with time and changing technology. media literacy can be damaged when people fail to consider cultural and technical context.

Do YOU want to make a difference in this world? You can! Take a look at the list below, donate what you can (if you can) and pass it on by reblogging, so more people who want to help can see it!

There are lots of people in my inbox thanking me for sharing their fundraisers and asking me to donate even a small amount. I hear you, and I really hate to break your hearts, but I can't donate, even if I wanted to💔. I really wish I could donate something myself, but gofundme is blocked in my country and all my transactions are closely monitored by a family member I cannot afford getting in trouble with. So all I can do for now is share as many fundraisers as I can and hope that someone hears me.

These are all living people with their own hopes and dreams. They reached out to me in hopes of getting help. The last thing I want is to let them down.

LIST TO BE UPDATED IN THE FUTURE

You scrolled this far! I hope you pick at least one fundraiser to support AND reblog this list so it reaches more people! Also, consider visiting gazafunds.com to help more people! Thank you for taking your time to read, here's a picture of a bird:

I am Osama Al-Anqar and my wife's name is Rana Raed Al-Anqar. We have a little girl.

We used to live in our house in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood. We used to live in peace and security and I had a job, but the war came and took everything from me,

first of all my brother Mahmoud, who was martyred in the bombing of the Baptist Hospital. He left behind his children and wife, and my brother Ahmed, whose front leg was amputated in the same bombing. I lost my house, my family's house, and my job. Now we have become homeless, moving from one place to another. We are gripped by fear, terror, and hunger. My daughter suffers from extreme fear and panic, and suffers from lack of food and skin diseases due to the lack of water and cleanliness.

We are in dire need of your help. We call on you to fund this fund to save my family and provide safe shelter, food, drink, and health care. Your donation is no matter what can happen to us in our lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support means more.

Falestine is married and has a 3 month old baby, and cannot afford to even give him diapers and milk.

She was made to give birth during this onslaught, and immediately moved from the hospital to a tent. Her home was bulldozed by the occupation, leaving her and her family displaced. The tent where they live is horribly unhygienic and plagued with disease; they are next to a public toilet and surrounded by dirt and waste.

Her mother is chronically ill, and her father tragically suffered a stroke. They currently have no way to treat her illness.

In order to evacuate and provide basic necessities for Falestine's family, this campaign needs to raise $40,000 USD. Currently, they've raised $15,172; A great amount, but not enough.

Please help Falestine and her family. Donate if you're able to, and share the campaign. No one deserves be forced to live through these horrible conditions.

A baby girl was born in a tent in the middle of the war after years of treatment. This is my daughter. I never imagined that she would come in the middle of these circumstances. After I lost my brother, the dearest person to me, and my home, I have nothing left but my three children. Please, with the heart of a mother burdened with worries, please help me by donating or sharing.

The two siblings Gazan medical students must complete their medical school 🙏

Hello world, I am addressing every human being who has humanity. My sister and I left Egypt before the war on Gaza to study medicine, and now we are stuck and far from our families without any source of income. Also, my family’s source of income, which is a small construction factory, was destroyed.

We wish for a life like all people, a life with education, a job, and a passion to continue

Please stand with me and my family

Ur my last hope🙏

Gaza is experiencing a catastrophic spread of skin diseases due to harsh living conditions. Overcrowding in tents, high temperatures, water shortages, and the lack of essential nutritious food contribute to the worsening situation. The press photos reflect the suffering of residents from skin diseases caused by environmental pollution and poor sanitation, which exacerbates their hardship and further endangers their health and daily lives. 😥

وتشهد غزة انتشاراً كارثياً للأمراض الجلدية نتيجة الظروف المعيشية القاسية، حيث تساهم الاكتظاظ في الخيام وارتفاع درجات الحرارة ونقص المياه ونقص الأغذية المغذية الأساسية في تفاقم الوضع. وتعكس الصور الصحفية معاناة السكان من الأمراض الجلدية الناجمة عن التلوث البيئي وسوء الصرف الصحي، مما يفاقم معاناتهم ويعرض صحتهم وحياتهم اليومية للخطر
