I don't think I like the movies that are released now. Maybe just some of them. For example, movie the platform 2019/2024. There is a lot to think about, it is very revealing in social terms and in how people behave when they find themselves in survival situations.

Not long ago I realized that I like to watch things related to survival, like the series Squid Game, Billionaires' Bunker, The 8 Show, Alice in Borderland. But not because of banal survival and struggle, but something more subtle, contained in the psychology and behavior of people, in the way they act, they lose their social masks, morals, beliefs, principles. How a person's good facade changes in an instant, how they can betray, lie, cheat, act unreasonably, even insanely; revealing all the pretense that everyone has been taught by society, rules, acceptable standards. a person's true face, his insides, his thoughts, everything that he carefully hid from everyone, walking around in different masks, shadows in society. It's normal, everyone has a mask, a shadow that they use, and this does not always determine what a person really is.

There is nothing criminal in such films and TV series mentioned earlier; people become like this sometimes because they were like this inside under the mask, sometimes it is an animal instinct for self-preservation, when logic switches off and you have tunnel vision, you cannot make adequate decisions. This may not always be a person's truth, there is a difference that is difficult to distinguish at first glance.

Another type of films and TV series that I adore are Sci-Fi and similar ones, and also strange ones that are not popular. This also applies to anime. As some may have noticed, my pinned post includes anime like Beastars, Berserk. This is similar to what I said about survival.

I will also add that this is not only a struggle and survival in a social and ordinary sense, but also a struggle with oneself, changing/transforming oneself. When you decompose, you become just some kind of unidentifiable mass, when you are no longer the same, but not yet new.

I call this agnosia of life, consonant with the term agnosia itself, which means it is a disorder of perception in which a person loses the ability to recognize objects, sounds, smells or faces. But only in my understanding, this is a change of self, you are an amoeba, a vegetable, something incongruous in the corner of the street, blown by the wind of music. Like the state of decomposition of a caterpillar. It is no longer a caterpillar, but it hasn't become a butterfly yet. And everything familiar and ordinary becomes something else, something that you can no longer bear or live with, it’s simply all alien and not the same as before.
