Hidetaka Miyazaki and his work need no introduction. Having created some of the greatest games for FromSoftware, Miyazaki’s story has been nothing short of an inspiration for all. The iconic creator went from being an aimless student in college to switching careers at the age of 29 and becoming a Goat in the gaming space.

Soulsborne games are very well known for being very difficult; in fact, they are so difficult that many gamers around the world demand that FromSoftware consider releasing them along with an easy mode. From Demon Souls to their latest game, Elden Ring, FromSoftware has continuously included very hard bosses in their titles. From characters that do massive Aoe attacks to those that fight players with small weapons, the variety is unmatched.
But amongst these bosses, there are some that are so hard that it becomes impossible for players to forget them. They take hours to defeat, and before that, they demolish players numerous times. But one character is such that players haven’t forgotten it to this day.

In the 1930s, the Polish port city of Gdynia became a brief landing pad for immigrants from neighboring countries, including Jews who sought safety and prosperity before the rise of Nazi Germany. Though the Museum of Gdynia quietly explains this messy history, obvious markers of that past aren’t visible across the city. Its marina boasts a massive monument to 18th-century Polish military hero Tadeusz Kościuszko, whose actions became the stuff of legend both for the Poles and the Americans, but otherwise Gdynia stands anew, with sparkling metallic structures surrounding its stretch of the Puck Bay and the Polanka Redłowska forest.
By contrast, in the nearby town of Gdańsk, with its brightly colored and narrow buildings that hug a labyrinthine waterway, the markers of history are more immediately apparent to the naked eye. Much of the buildings have been reconstructed such that nearly every street teems with homages to the past.

People make documentaries about all kinds of things: some slight and silly, others educational or emotional. But if you want to be nominated for an Oscar in the doc short category, it’s best to zero in on an issue the Academy can get behind, like homelessness, bullying or prejudice. Just imagine if any other category were the same way — say, if the award for best sound mixing recognized only engineers who’d worked on movies that make the world a better place — but so it goes. At least all five of this year’s nominees are solid (sometimes quite sophisticated) treatments of their subjects. As Roger Ebert used to say, “It’s not what a movie is about, it’s how it is about it.”
