Nightfall
Dec 9th, 2023 at 8:32pm
 
Wow! Just watched this rare movie called Nightfall. Done in 1988. At first one might think they are watching a B-Grade obscure movie that only North Americans could like. But as you progress, the characters stand out far more than the actors themselves (before they become 'stars' above the character themselves). It's a Science Fiction but also a Religious Faith(s) movie about a Planet that has existed in the Eternal Light of six Suns in their System for ages that long to forget that there may have been previous Civilisations - destroyed by the coming of the Nightfall. Where 'another' Planet suddenly appears and casts an eclipse that lasts what feels like a lifetime for the sentient beings that inhabit the world - blocking out the perfect alignment of all six suns behind it. Thus they spake upon the darkness that for the first time - has taken their life away from them and the words came forth from around the globe, as the darkness revealed itself to both sides of the Planet at the same time. One side 'denied' the light, the other 'lost' the light. "My God, its full of Stars."
You could say that this movie from way back 1988 has reached a very 'Alien' quality about it, beyond so old - but also new to many now, that considered it to be 'rare'.
Enjoy 1988's rare movie - 'Nightfall'.

(As for us humans here, it's like the coming of the next ten years with the darkness of a World War, disease and virus, famine, poverty and fear on the unknown with such 'death' all around as Knowledge preys upon Life)

..and this from Wiki (compliments from Julian Assange)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightfall_(1988_film)


Mayersberg said "I'm of the belief that, in general, film is not a very good medium for science fiction, it's visual, and therefore not very imaginative. Movies don't work well when it comes to picturing large landscapes, and so forth; film can only show you what exists, that which we can already see with our eyes, If you want to imagine a city in space, you have to build a model— and frankly, it looks like a model."[8]

Then there's the Nihonese NIGHTFALL
Looks like a real good one, but on a Nihonese different storyline of its own original design.
Must watch it sometime.

And here's a small-town inner American Movie called Nightfall. Another good future watch.

Grin Then there's this very serious Old School American movie also called Nightfall back in the racist Black & White colours only days before other Colours were allowed in on the act.
I'm not sure if I want to watch this one, don't know why yet though?

WOW!!! Shocked
Just discovered this version of Nightfall (2000) and only a part way in as I post this - but it looks pretty cult cool and smart.  Cool
