Christopher Nolan's movie "TENET" is full of knowledge from quantum mechanics such as "positron" and "antimatter." In this article, I will explain the scientific setting of the movie, focusing on the mechanism of the "revolving door" which appears as a time reversal device, rather than the contents of the movie itself.

The world's top dictionary, the "Oxford English Dictionary," was created by a combination of a "self-taught man" without a degree and a "murderer." The unlikely meeting of these two "madmen" led to this great achievement, which teaches us about the reality that only "great accomplishment" can arise from "madness," as shown in the movie "The Professor and the Madman."

The phenomenon where hostages develop feelings of sympathy or affection for their captors during events like robberies or hostage situations is called "Stockholm syndrome," and it's based on a real-life event. Learn about the strange psychology of humans who end up helping their captors from the movie "Stockholm."

Actually, only India has succeeded in sending a spacecraft to Mars in a single attempt. Both the United States and Russia have failed many times. Furthermore, India's space development budget is overwhelmingly low compared to major countries. Why was India able to accomplish this great feat?

Through the film "Nomadland," which portrays a woman who lost her town due to the bankruptcy of the company she was working for, and who decided to adopt a nomadic lifestyle without a home, we consider whether we have the strength to face major life changes and how we should live our lives.

Based on a real-life terrorist attack that happened at a luxury hotel in India, the movie "Hotel Mumbai" provides an intense and immersive experience that allows the audience to feel the same fear during the attack.

As a graduation project from a vocational school, Hamaguchi Ryusuke's film "Intimacies" is an ambitious work that incorporates a two-hour and ten-minute play within a play. The film emphasizes the power of words, despite being a visual medium, and I was overwhelmed by the words spoken throughout the film and the play within a play. Although it is very long at four hours, glad I saw it.

I was not planning to watch the movie "Inu-Oh" directed by Yuasa Masaaki, and had zero expectations and almost no prior information. However, it was so amazing that I was stunned to think that I might have missed such a fantastic masterpiece. The insane worldview woven by Furukawa Hideo, who wrote the original work, combined with the realistic "live feeling", makes it a wonderful "music movie".

The acclaimed film "Let the Right One In" depicts the struggles of those who choose to live with the despair that "what it takes to survive" is "to destroy others." The relationship between the two characters, which can be described as "pure love," and the unexpected development of the story are truly moving.

I believe that anyone who breaks the law should be punished, regardless of the reason. However, this is not related to the judgment of good and evil. From the movie "Shoplifters" directed by Koreeda Hirokazu, let us think about the legitimacy of a society where "good and evil" are determined by the "national mood" and a way of living that has "the courage to put on hold good and evil judgments".
