Hideo Kojima’s love for cinema isn’t hidden from the world. Everyone who follows him on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) must be well acquainted with their feeds full of his day where he’ll share a movie or two, either a review or simply what he watched. The video game auteur took the fans by surprise hilariously when his recommendations included a documentary based on him.
With almost 38 years in the industry, he has decked out the video games industry with titles likeMetal Gear,Snatchers, and most recentlyDeath Stranding. The last onebecame a prophecy for the COVID-19 pandemicwhere humans preferred to stay in isolation, depriving themselves of any connection to the outer world.

Going about his normal day of sharing movies and TV shows on the social media platform, Hideo Kojima made people’s day when one of his recommendations includedConnecting Worlds, a documentary based on his work which was released recently on streaming service Disney Plus.

Apart from theMetal Gearseries,Death Strandingtoo has a half an hour cutscene. The sequel to the game is slated to release in 2025 and the momentum is likely to stay with it.
Who Knows What’s Waiting To Come Out of That Mind
And his movie recommendations are no short of a punch of joy. He recently praised Denis Villenueve’sDune: Part Twoby saying, “This masterpiece of Denis will likely become a “resistance” that will significantly delay the spread of subscription services.”
Even as a movie buff, I was beginning to think it was time for me to start watching movies on my smartphone or tablet.
