Cloverfield worked because it used security tapes from the United States Department of Defenses as its conceit: it led us to believe there was some kind of experiment happening in the State’s Defense department, which is evocative and intriguing. The first Paranormal Activity worked because the recordings of the film were somewhat convincing: people have access to a camera of some sort, and can set up points to record anything. There are many ways how a found footage film could work, but one reason is the believability of the documentary-styled footage. From the moment Rachel and Sarah land in Israel-and even before then-the audience is treated to biblical terrors of Hell cracking open beneath the world, something reminiscent of “The Book of Revelation.” (Not that I’m familiar with The Bible or anything.) (Okay, I am.) From there, these two Americans travel from their hometown in the United States to the Middle Eastern city of Israel because why not. Unable to stomach the pain of her late brother, she retreats to the bathroom to find some solace before embarking on an inexplicable trip with Rachel. After receiving this expensive gift from her father, Sarah has an emotional moment: she recalls her deceased brother and descends his room to visit him. Much like the Google Glass gift, there’s no explanation for the reason of the trip other than “we’re wild and young and beautiful and free”-or something like that. The only indication of this is the bright pink Jansport she carries on her person it is later revealed the backpack is packed for a capricious trip with her friend, Rachel Klein (played by Yael Grobglas). There’s no explanation for this gift the audience is led to believe Sarah is a good student in school. Jeruzalem starts with Howard Pullman (played by Howard Rypp) giving Sarah (played by Danielle Jadelyn), his daughter and central character of the film, Google Glass. Sadly, Jeruzelam fails to be as suspenseful as a thriller and as compelling as other found footage films. Taking the lo-fi aesthetic of the “found footage horror/thriller” genre and giving it an HD coating, Jeruzalem looks to ground its fictionality in reality. Unless you’re a robot-in which case, God help us all.) It is no surprise that films are starting to incorporate our real life structure into their fictional imaginings-such is the case with The Paz Brothers’ thriller Jeruzalem. We eat, breathe, sleep, and live technology. While I’m clickity-clackiting away, typing this review on my MacBook, you’re probably reading this on your iPhone or Galaxy. In a way, we orbit around technology, a gravitational pull rotating us around our devices. From the time you blink sleep out of your eyes to the moment you rest your tired soul for the day-and just about every second in between-technology is the focal point of our existence. Starring: Yael Grobglas, Danielle Jadelyn, Yon Tumarkin, Tom Graziani, Written by: Doron and Yoav Paz (as The PAZ Brothers) "This is where the situation gets worse when people are not even allowed to express their opinion before the public," he added.Directed by: Doron and Yoav Paz (as The PAZ Brothers) Yet our leaders have the cheek to tell the world that India is the largest democracy, hah!!" Senior CPI (M) leader M Y Tarigami, who is the spokesperson of the alliance, said it was sad that the Jammu and Kashmir administration was "scared even to allow a peaceful protest". Mr Abdullah, whose father and veteran politician Farooq Abdullah heads the PAGD, claimed, "Talk about a lawless police state, the police have even locked the internal gate connecting my father's home to my sister's. Yet our leaders have the cheek to tell the world that India is the largest democracy, hah!! /flNICRGk58- Omar Abdullah January 1, 2022 Talk about a lawless police state, the police have even locked the internal gate connecting my father's home to my sister's. "Trucks parked outside our gates to scuttle the peaceful sit-in protest. Mr Abdullah and Peoples Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti were later detained by the police. A new year with the same JK police illegally locking people in their homes and an administration so terrified of normal democratic activity," National Conference vice-president and former chief minister Omar Abdullah tweeted. Political leaders including three former chief ministers were detained ahead of a march by the People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) to protest against the recommendations of the Delimitation Commission.
