I&#8217;m sure glad our government hasn&#8217;t done anything shady since then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took me a while to get into the rhythm of this- probably because it&#8217;s pretty frenetic and I&#8217;m running on about four hours of sleep- but even before I locked it I appreciated the look and sound used to make old newsreels, memos, and TV recordings work tell an eventually cohesive story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve now seen 40 of the 50 2024 Oscar nominees. I&#8217;m mostly missing documentaries: two full length, and all five shorts. The other three are Maria (cinematography), Elton John: Never Too Late (song), and The Six Triple Eight (also song). I might get one or two in before the show tomorrow, but I&#8217;ll probably go for a bike ride instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s weird to make silly posters for documentaries about serious subjects, but the energy of the film makes it feel a bit more comfortable. I think the only thing I really like about this poster is the title design. It&#8217;s not exactly the right base font to match the original, but it&#8217;s pretty darn close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Soundtrack-of-a-Coup-dEtat-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A poster for Soundtrack of a Coup d'Etat that references the poster for The Sound of Music.\" class=\"wp-image-2474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Soundtrack-of-a-Coup-dEtat-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Soundtrack-of-a-Coup-dEtat-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Soundtrack-of-a-Coup-dEtat-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Soundtrack-of-a-Coup-dEtat.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that people running nations sometimes do very shady things to keep their countries in control of the world?
