- Calling a Deer a Horse
Zhao Gao was a chinese politician, who died at 207 BC. There is an interesting anecdote about him
Zhao Gao was contemplating treason but was afraid the other officials would not heed his commands, so he decided to test them first. He brought a deer and presented it to the Second Emperor but called it a horse. The Second Emperor laughed and said, “Is the chancellor perhaps mistaken, calling a deer a horse?” Then the emperor questioned those around him. Some remained silent, while some, hoping to ingratiate themselves with Zhao Gao, said it was a horse, and others said it was a deer. Zhao Gao secretly arranged for all those who said it was a deer to be brought before the law and had them executed instantly. Thereafter the officials were all terrified of Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao gained military power as a result of that.

- Luna (1979)

It’s alright, I liked the italian scenery. 5/10.
- Swing Girls (2004)

A group of schoolgirls accidentally poisons their local brass band and has to step in as replacements. The catch? Most of them can’t play any instruments, and the few who can have instruments that don’t mix well together. So, they decide to form a big band and play swing instead.
The vibes in this movie are immaculate. I absolutely love the humor. It also features some really great jazz, especially in the last 10 minutes, where my ears ate very well. 7.5/10.
- Caligula (1979)
