For a lot of non-army people who don't know, NCB stands for non-combat bearer or non-combat batman which is why we often hear the term batman as well.
Here's a little history lesson about this role:
It's a term that was used by the British for a soldier in the army assigned to an officer as a personal servant. The word is derived from the obsolete bat which means sack paddle, a device that was strapped behind an animal for carrying heavy objects.
Before the industrialization, when the means of transport were horses, a batman was also incharge of the officer's "bat-horse" which carried the officer's kit or luggage during trips.

Rewatching Twilight as an adult and realizing how much sexual frustration there is between the characters considering the age gap between them.

Someone should do a study on the effects on the generation that was obsessed with it.
I mean Edward is 109 years old. Bella is 18. Jacob is 16. And Renesmee is just a baby when Jacob imprints on her.

So messed up.
Also, I know we grew up making fun of constipated acting by Pattison and Stewart but I'm realizing how almost every other actor had a similar direction which makes it all look so cringy and fake.

I feel like the director for each film was like deliver your lines but be awkward.

A thread of Pakistani films banned in Pakistan:
1. Jago Hua Savera (1959) - a drama film directed by A. J. Kardar based on the struggles of a poor fishing village in former East Pakistan. Just days before the premier, the government of Pakistan halted the release. It was a joint production of East and West Pakistan.
2. Jibon Theke Neya (1970)- a Bengali-language Pakistani political satire directed by Zahir Raihan. The government had repeatedly tried to stop the film and threatened the film's director and actor Razzak. The director also received death threats for this film.

2 years ago, when I left Pakistan, Zindagi Tamasha was banned under similar labels of "indecency and immorality".

2 years later, Joyland is being censored with the same tactics.

It's heartbreaking to see that things haven't changed a bit, probably just gotten worse.
As a filmmaker, I feel absolutely gutted. I hope to witness a day when art and culture are celebrated in Pakistan. When filmmakers don't have to hide themselves and their work. When we can accept and enjoy the diversity of this country and its stories.
Every time when someone asks me if I'll be moving back to make films about Pakistan, my heart sinks a little. The tragedy of not being able to not only express yourself but also represent yourself really pulls you down.

On Sep 9, 2020 a woman, travelling on motorway, was robbed and raped in front of her two kids in Pakistan. It shook the whole nation. Protests were arranged and officials jumped in front of the cameras to make promises. Not again, they said.
A few days before, on Sep 1, 2020 a 14-year-old boy went missing in Faisalabad. His body was found in the fields near Faisalabad’s Liaquatabad Road. He was raped and murdered by the neighbour.

Trigger Warning: Violence against women, suicide ImageImage
When they teach us about partition in schools, they tell us tales of brave men who fought for the land, who migrated and started anew. We learn speeches of our leaders and we remember every date from the timeline.
But we never hear about the piles of dead bodies that were found inside deep wells of every other village. Dead bodies of mothers and daughters and sisters and wives who gave their lives for honor.
