New Showbiz Analysis

2020 Nostradamus is a genre-specific documentary that prioritizes apocalyptic themes over individual identity. The film focuses on historical texts and their modern interpretations, emphasizing global catastrophes and prophetic predictions. Because the subject matter revolves around large-scale historical events and geopolitical shifts, the film lacks the structure needed to explore diverse identities. The narrative is built around apocalyptic predictions rather than the exploration of social hierarchies. Ultimately, the work serves a functional role in discussing prophecy but does not engage with underrepresented identities or disrupt conventional social norms, resulting in a low diversity profile.

Official Synopsis

Born in 1503, the mysterious medieval visionary, Michel de Nostredame (a.k.a. "Nostradamus") predicted the rise of Hitler, the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima, and the 9/11 attacks. Now his quatrains are predicting our immediate future and it would seem the end times are truly upon the world. According to the new interpretations, Nostradamus predicted that a mighty Islamic army of terror would rise up and set in motion World War III. China would conquer the entire East and much of the globe, and then a complete collapse of technology would spin the world into chaos like never before as the Antichrist rises in the West. Explore the prophecies and decide for yourself.
