'the Mortifying Ordeal Of Being Known' What About The Comforting Joy Of Being Understood

'the mortifying ordeal of being known' what about the comforting joy of being understood

🚨 We Need Your Kindness to Survive 🚨

Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.

The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.

Our Current Situation:

💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.

How You Can Help:

I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.

Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.

What This Means to Us:

Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.

Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.

With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️

SPOILERS AHEAD

my initial thoughts after watching this film were all over the place cause i was hopped up on excitement and pride and all of the feelings, so it's a couple days later and i still wanna go and see this movie six more times in theatre. every time i try and describe how good this movie was or how it made me feel i just get excited again and all the eloquent words i had planned to say fly out of my head. i'll preface that i know next to nothing about martial arts or fighting in general, but visually all of the fight scenes were amazing. the first fight scene with wen wu and ying li was beautiful. and then seeing shang qi bring the two fighting styles that his mother and father taught him in order to defeat his father was a monumental moment. i would pay extra to watch the final fight scene between shang qi and wen wu, watching shang qi slowly take control of the rings only to disregard them, desperate for his father to stop. aside from the fight scenes the characters and emotions in this film were astounding, tiny leung's portrayal of wen wu from this power hungry tyrant to a caring husband to a grief stricken warrior was mesmerising. meng'er zhang was fascinating to watch on screen and is definitely up there on the list of best marvel women. her determination to be better than ever man to deny her is empowering and her costumes are great, definitely would dress up as her for halloween if i had a reason to. katy is a great character she works as the character relief, a place holder for the audience to align themselves with, but also she was an interesting character to see develop. and finally shang qi, mr simu liu himself. from wongfu productions, asian bachelorette 2, to being a guest on jknews, to a freaking marvel movie. it was beyond fascinating to watch this character be introduced and then developed, words can't describe the pride i feel watching this film and to see simu liu front lining the whole this is incredible. this damaged character who didn't let his trauma define him and the way he treated people, a character that defied who is was made to be and instead lived with kindness and respect and humility. to see his inner struggle of giving into who he was taught to be by the two most influential people in his life and how to balance the two teachings. then to see him liberate himself, with help from ying nan, by combining the two parts of himself into one. and then to see him become a better fighter than his father. words can't describe. to see the differing ways that they each use the rings, with wen wu's harsh whip like lashings opposing shang qi's rings moving fluidly. then to see shang qi gain control of all of the rings, i had to physically cover my mouth to stop my self from being loud. this film is fascinating on so many levels and i thing the only thing i regret about this film is not being able to connect to it on a deeper level as a result of my own distance to my culture. i will definitely be watching this again whether it be in cinema and or i'll be waiting the rest of the 45 days to watch it on disney+. i could talk about the disadvantages this film has had to deal with, from the lack of marketing in marvel's part, to the bias this film was already receiving being released in a time where asians are already being heavily discriminated against, but then i would be here all day. overall this film ticked all the boxes and more and is absolutely in my top 3 marvel films.
