I had no idea this movie is so controversial in Georgia!
From wikipedia:
"Ultra-conservative groups threatened to cancel the screening of the film in Tbilisi and Batumi, Georgia. The head of the Children Protection Public Movement Levan Palavandishvili, plus Levan Vasadze, Dimitri Lortkipanidze, and the leader of ultra-nationalist movement Georgian March Sandro Bregadze, announced they would picket the cinemas to protest against the showing of the film "which is against Georgian and Christian traditions and values, and popularises the sin of sodomy".
The director of the film, Levan Akin, responded to the threats, saying: "It is absurd that people who bought tickets need to be brave and risk getting harassed or even assaulted just for going to see a film. I made this film with love and compassion." The Georgian Orthodox Church disapproved of the film premiere but also stated that the “church distances itself from any violence.”
On 8 November 2019, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia mobilized police troops at the Amirani Cinema and nearby streets and placed special riot police troops near to the Philharmonic Hall. Police officers surrounded the entrance to the Amirani Cinema.Later that day several hundred members of Georgian March attempted to break the police cordon and forcibly enter the Amirani Cinema, but were stopped by the police.Some of the protesters wore masks and used pyrotechnics. Despite the attempts, all screenings of the film took place as planned.
The police detained two persons and accused them of violating Article 173 of the Code of Administrative Offences of Georgia (disobedience of lawful order of a police officer) and Article 166 (hooliganism). One of the leaders of the Republican Party of Georgia, Davit Berdzenishvili, was attacked by the protesters. Civil activist Ana Subeliani was also heavily injured in a clash with protesters and taken to hospital."
It's been almost a year since the series came out and only now have I mustered up the courage to watch the last thing Gaspard Ulliel starred in.
He was amazing in this role. Tho I'm not sure why his appearance was so short.
This man will stay frozen in time and stay forever young and handsome. </3
lion was only trying to defend his land - and his life.
But they made him to be something out of a Stephen King character.
I always think how lucky we humans are to share our world with these magnificent creatures (especially the people in Africa). But mostly we feel we own them and we kill them. This movie shows the universal truth - the nature will always win in the end.
I wouldn't consider myself exactly a die-hard Beatles fan, still I truly enjoyed this experience. I think Jackson did a fine job and it was so so lovely to see the boys in the band together (making music and making jokes all the time). One of the best documentaries of the decade I think.

This was, for me, a very sad movie. ThisI always think how lucky we humans are to share our world with these magnificent creatures (especially the people in Africa). But mostly we feel we own them and we kill them. This movie shows the universal truth - the nature will always win in the end.
