Aequatian

Famous Movies

The Day the Sky Cried - A war drama about the Federban War following two individuals, a woman living within Magna Casa and an Army Infantry Officer deployed to Federban during the conflict. The film depicts, graphically, the chemical attacks on the Aequatian major cities during the peace talks and a famous incident where an Army unit prevented the destruction of a city within Federban by Marine units. One of the more patriotic war films, it has some of the best production values, especially in practical and computer-generated effects, as well as great acting on the part of Harold Black, who plays President Bomfy, in a scene where he debates retaliating against the nation of Federban using SS-18 Satan missiles armed with thermonuclear warheads in the nation's first deployment of nuclear weapons.


Ariddia

Ariddia, an underdeveloped, Third World nation, does produce films, but most of them are low-budget, often quite intellectual, and are not well known abroad. Probably the only Ariddian film to have met with critical acclaim abroad was Daybreak, adapted by Serge Feagiai from the eponymous novel by Abel Moeaki. Daybreak depicts the tentative, ultimately doomed friendship of two soldiers on opposite sides during a ferocious war. The focus of the film (as of the novel) is on the lives of the soldiers, and of civilians affected by the hostilities; the war itself is perceived as a senseless, violent, meaningless blur. Daybreak was described as powerful, moving and shocking.

Other Ariddian films include Jean-Bernard Gaspin's documentary You Say You Want a Revolution, about the 1985 election which brought about Ariddia's Social Republic, and Jane Ash's Sylvia, based on Keith Isaac's fantasy novel of the same name. Daybreak, You Say You Want a Revolution and Sylvia were all screened at the Montréal Foreign Film Festival in Kelse.

Beyond the Horizon (Valentin Lechêne and Ann Uish) is considered a masterpiece within Ariddia, but has not been exported to any significant degree. Transposing history into a cinematrographic epic, it relates the amazing voyages undertaken by Indigenous Ariddians to the Arctic in the fifteenth century. Extrapolating from archeological evidence and Indigenous oral histories, the film remains faithful to known facts, while conveying a sense of awe at the Wymgani explorers' astonishing achievements.

Asgarnieu

Television and Film Laws of Asgarnieu dictate all films and television brodcasts in the nation. Asgarnieu is home to Commonwealth Productions, a major filming company.

The most popular film in Asgarnian history is The Great Attack. It is a film depicting the horror of a rebel attack on Balkan City in 1934. It is one of the most influential films in Asgarnian history.

Hostel Another horror flick, was deemed "too much." Fans of the fim who saw it outside of E.S. begged for it's release. They did, however it was branded with and X18 Rating, even though it wasn't purley pornographic. Appeals we're rejected to turn it down to R18, but all appeals faild. The high rating killed Hostel and it was recalled.

Controversial Movies:

Lighthouse was a sucess but very controversial in it's nature. It involves a young teenage mother and father that move into an old lighthouse and take it over. The reason it was so controversial because it seemed to be pro-teenage parenthood, and almost made it look to easy and triumphent, which most in GTI argue is simply not the case.

The Studio known at A.F. (Atheistic Films) has produced a number of controversial films that have all been anti-religion

His Holiness A parody of the Pope and the Catholic Church.

Luthy Another anti religious comedy about Lutherns.

Kanami

Block Busters and the Movies the Stir

Recentally some heavy movies have stired attention either in a good way, or in a concerned way.

The now becoming infamous documentry War Mongrels alleging how the government is becoming very war hungry, and getting involved in too many wars. The tag line is a mockery of the National Motto Unity Justice, Freedom and War War WAR!!! Recived an R rating but only on appeal.

One of the most classic movies of all time is one that is always redone time and time again.

Yasashii Himura also known as Y.H. was a smash hit and held it's water at the Box Office grossing nearly $60 Million, and wining 20 diffrent awards. The film follows the life of the nation's founder from start to finish. It was first made in 1970 remade in 1980, remade again only with from diffrent aspects in 1990, and and two plots are underway to restore and master the 1970 version, and to remake it exactly from the same screenplay.

A well known studio is Teen Films Ltd. Which makes films staring, and aimed at teens. Fantasy, Drama, Romance, Adventure, everygenre has come out. But they have come under fire for often producing a fair share of heavily erotic films, or sometimes even dangerous. Sea Voyage is perhaps their most talked about yet. It features two teens (Boy Freind/Girl Friend) on a sailing trip together. It was a wild romantic journey through harsh storms, featuring nudity and innuendo. Not to mention the heavy peril involved. (Recived an MA-15 rating)

When Sir Edward Ross passed away, the King Sir Monty Python (Eternal Leader of the Funny and Ambassador of Comedy) decided to host a film festival called the Piemon International Film Festival in his honour. This shall run the 6th January to the 12th January.

Gobbo Blood 2! Featuring less gore in order to comply with international laws on the treatment of animals, this sloppy sequel caused a wave of anti-amimal protests and a rise in the number of Grobble related catastrophes. Dir: Peter Joeson 2003, Grobbo Films

Invasion! Comedy is one of the very few mediums that Gobbos fail to understand, for these reasons the Gobbo population found this film so appaling they asked for its banning from cinemas in order to showe reruns of the cult hit "Gobbo Blood!" Dir: Peter Joeson 2002, Grobbo Films

No Ratings, most Gobbo films are Gorefests anyway.

House Hold Names

The Gobbo Blood Saga! is owned by pretty much anyone with a Video player or DVD player, with the exception of Gobbo Blood 2!

The Director Grotz has made his own name widely recognised with his wonderful Gobbo Blood Saga, however there are no great actors as they tend to die in film.

Vuhifellian Federation

The Vuhifellian Federation's film industry has struggled to come to grips with the end of the Vuhi-Kazach War. Before the end of the war, most films were fictional portrayals of the war or documentaries. These movies were enjoyed both at home and abroad for the quality of raw action and the skill of Vuhifellian directors and actors for bringing characters in which most viewers could relate to.

Since then, the old film industry, consisting of a few major studios and actors, still reside on the West Coast. However, most studios and actors moved to the tropical Southeastern Coast, where many genres are filmed today.

Human Gods (2089) - A documentary denouncing Vuhifellian reverence of the Daniels family, a very influential and important political family.

West Ariddia

West Ariddia has a vibrant, active cinema industry, which produces a wide variety of films across more or less every genre. It ranges from blockbusters produced by big companies, to more intellectual, low budget, independently-produced amateur films. West Ariddian films are exported around the world.

Pirated versions are widely distributed throughout the country's communist, moneyless neighbour Ariddia. Ironically, Ariddians appear to have a particular fondness for the spy thriller Operation Redhammer, an anti-Ariddian film produced during the height of the Ariddian Cold War.
