#pacifism

an Act of Killing-style re-enactment of the 1919 conquest of the Adriatic city of what is now Rijeka by a rag-tag army assembled by the proto-fascist dandy-poet Gabriele D'Annunzio. It was precisely the kind of quirky cinematic gem that the European film awards should be there to champion: a film ignored by the main festivals, about an overlooked but relevant episode in history.

One of the greatest things about is that the Doctor often wins the day by yelling at people. As signature action hero moves go, this is one of the most thrilling and, oddly, pacifist. Ten years ago, on November 7, 2015, Doctor Who aired "The Zygon Inversion," the conclusion of a Season 9 two-parter which gave us one of the best Doctor Who speeches ever. Not only has this moment gone down as one of the greatest speeches in the show, ever, but it's also demonstrative of how Who is capable of turning a goofy concept into something profound and unforgettable.
