What movie are you watching or planning to watch?

I was born in this city. I lived here for a long time. Nuremberg has a horrific past. Hitler chose Nuremberg as the stage for his massive annual N**i Party. The city was also the birthplace of the infamous Nuremberg Laws, which stripped Jews of their citizenship and laid the legal groundwork for the Holocaust.
Terrible—I hope something like this never happens again! Today, Nuremberg is a lovely city.
Contrary to its title, the historical film *Nuremberg* was not shot in the German city of Nuremberg; to recreate the historical setting of the Nuremberg trials as authentically as possible, the famous courtroom was faithfully reconstructed in Budapest studios.

 
Honestly, I feel like Patrick Stewart is stalking me, I love him, because captain Picard raised me, but whenever I watch a random movie, Patrick Stewart just pops up there.
I watch Nausicaa, Patrick Stewart is dubbing it, I watch a cartoon like The Pagemaster or Dragon Rider, Patrick Stewart is there, I pick a random movie and guess what?!

🎬 Director’s Statement:

The film began with the idea: what if someone with super strength started to lose control of their body?

I love high-concept stories grounded by human emotions, and luckily.

This idea led to something incredibly universal — Responsibility.

Even if you haven’t dealt with a heartbreaking condition or can’t bench 4 station wagons.

We’ve all struggled to accept our responsibilities at one point or another.

If everything went to plan, Holding Out is a fun, interesting, and emotional story.

About two people who have lived in that avoidance for far too long.

I was lucky to work alongside so many superbly talented artists to bring this to life.

We hope you enjoy it, and maybe even learn something new about a superhero’s copulatory requirements.

My Thoughts​


This was a pleasant surprise that YouTube recommended to me.

There was some emotion and covering certain issues that you would not expect for a superhero short film.

Like dementia.

We need more superhero films like this.
