In a shocking incident, horrific visuals are surfacing on the internet in which it can be seen that the Hamas militants are taking a semi-naked dead body of an Israeli woman on an open truck and parading in the city. It is said that the militants after attacking Israel are killing and taking the civilians as hostage. The militants took the dead bodies of the innocent civilians who were killed during the attack in open trucks and paraded them.

They didn't kill Tarkovski, despite at one point viewing him as a subversive and dissident. He defected in 1979.

Tarkovski is arguably one of the best and most influential directors of all time, but you don't seem to know that much about him. Do you think you're in a position to be a snob about what you consider a 'mere Disney' show?

In my experience, real filmlovers aren't snobs. Same goes for music, art, books, etc. Posers invariably are though. They pretend that they're better than that, because they're insecure and need to feel better about themselves.

it’s Tarkovsky, not Tarkovski

TIL. In my native language the ий in Тарковский (still?) becomes an i.

Honestly, I wonder if they don't just do it randomly. I volunteered with Ukrainians. I met brothers who had the same family name in cyrillic, but two different names in roman/latin script. They were in the same group, but didn't follow each other in an alphabetic list of surnames. Wasn't a y/i either. Think it was something at the beginning of the surname.

IRC the Soviets used to use the French method of romanisation (for passports). So the ий became an i. I think at a certain point they started using an english system, in which the ий becomes a y.

But if you google romanization of Russian and the Russian alphabet, you'll still see that й can become an i, y, or even a j.

I didn’t say killed I said would have.

Andor is a mere Disney show, produced for profit and for the masses. I know who Tarkovsky is, I’ve read his book and watched his films. To compare Andor to his works is asinine.

I’m not being a snob, I liked Andor. I dislike trying to compare real world tragedies and countries that aren’t Nazi Germany to Disney shows. Israel isn’t great but it’s not that level. This is an issue with people on the internet as a whole, they want to connect to recent tragic events and attempt to do so through whatever pop culture media just released. Is why I said the “hecking Star War moverino” and added the soyjack.
