Good Movies & Media Thread

AvatarÀi Gōng2 min to read

This is a renovated thread to recommend or comment on movies, games, animations and other media with interesting messages, when relevant to Zevism.
Inspired by HP Zevios Metathronos' AMA commentary on The Matrix movie. Polemics & temporal politics should be avoided.


After The Rain (1999)
A hopeful movie about a honorable Samurai living by Ma’at, overcoming challenges with humor and positivity.

“The Iwato myth teaches the Zevist that the restoration of Ma’at requires not only courage and discipline but also beauty, humour, and the irresistible vitality that Izfet cannot imitate.” (Japanese Doctrines)


Noragami (2010-2024, animation from 2014-2015)
Shinto series with personified versions of the Gods and Daemons in the modern world. Emphasizes the value of living life and not only dwelling in spirituality alone and escapism, or giving in to hopelessness.


Shingeki no Kyojin (2013-2023)
Ignoring the online politics about this series, it is actually a genious series about the consequences of going full Yehubor, and the self-delusion of not recongizing Izfet within but using it to combat Izfet, and actually creating more of it.


Ghost in the Shell (1995)
Futuristic story about the hypothesis of AI gaining sentience and the nature of conciousness. Heavily inspired The Matrix.


Twin Peaks (1990-2017)
Murder mystery series by David Lynch exploring the corruption of Izfet, dream revelations and messages from the beyond. Blends whimsical humor and cosmic horror.


Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009-2010)
Excellent series with too many relevant messages and elements to single out in one description; Magic and corrupted Magic, the insidiousness of Izfet, chosing Ma’at. If someone could only pick one series to check out, this is the choice.

I for one highly recommend the original Halo series by Bungie.
I also recommend the Mass Effect series. Both series have allegories to the begining the humankind and how higher beings were involved in our creation and advancement. In Halo the faction known as The Covenant are led by Yehuboric aliens who have waged a war of Sahiburah against the humans.
In Mass Effect, the galaxy is at war with synthetic machines known as the Reapers who represent the end goal of transhumanism, whos blatant goal is to stop organics from advancing. There's a lot more I could say and I might even make a thread on them and the Zevist themes within.

I love Fullmetal alchemist! I’m due for a rewatch. In my opinion, the original series (2003) is also very good although it deviates from the source material. 🦾

Fullmetal Alchemist is great. I've watched Brotherhood several times and more recently read the manga for the first time. Love Twin Peaks as well, it's time for a rewatch soon.
