Never Forget: Armenian Genocide 😢☠️

 

I will give Joe Biden credit for following Ronald Reagan's example on this, and calling it what it was. The Turkish Government did perpetuate genocide on the Armenian people in 1915. Hitler used the Turkish example as justification for what he did in WWII. Never Forget. 

Of course, when it comes to the current genocide of Uighurs in Western China...many are staying quiet.  That is how Democrats roll.

Lady Bird: A Review




I was impressed. Lady Bird is a really well written movie, Kudos to Greta Gerwig for writing and directing it. When it comes to mother daughter relationships, this film shined. The dialog between Laurie Metcalf and Saoirse Ronan was almost perfection (While Ronan was very good as the teen age daughter and deserved her nomination for best actress, Metcalf as the mom was robbed not winning the Oscar for best supporting actress).

A few cheap political and church jabs (I know it is difficult for you to admit Hollywood, you pulled a similar stunt in I, Tonya, but Ronald Reagan was the greatest president of the 20th Century), but the film for the most part showed a degree of sensitivity and dare I say objectivity. It is also a love letter to Sacramento. Overall, I really liked it. It is also an excellent rental film.

I, Tonya: A Review



I, Tonya is for the most part a good movie. Margot Robbie does a fabulous job as Tonya Harding. Allison Janney is equally impressive as her mother. The other supporting actors, such as Sebastian Stan as Jeff Gillooly and Bobby Cannavale playing a fictional character from Hard Copy are very good.

The film is directed by Craig Gillespie and screenplay written by Steven Rogers. It is critical of Tonya's white trash up bringing, but Tonya did grow up in a hard scrabble abusive Oregon working class family. It is what it is.

The movie goes beyond the banality of evil of the various players in this media melodrama and points the finger at us all who consume these stories. There is a lot of breaking of the fourth wall and it is told in a Rashomon style from the various characters' individual perspectives (which as you can expect widely differ). While the movie at times abruptly shifts tone and it could have been done better, I can forgive that. Sometimes the skating CGI was off, but then again--skating (while important to the story) is not the central focus of the film. Overall, I thought the film worked.  

Paul Walter Hauser as Shawn Eckardt

Shawn Eckardt is depicted in the film as the bungling loser 'mastermind' of the Nancy Kerrigan attack. Paul Walter Hauser does a good job playing him. In a scene in Eckardt's parent's basement (where he lived), there is an old Ronald Reagan poster on the wood paneling that the camera pauses on. The message is obvious--that it was idiots like Shawn (and his family) that gave us Ronald Reagan (and hint hint, Donald Trump).  It was not necessary for the film--it's distracting (although I am sure it will play well for some Academy voters and those rabid anti Trumpers). Would this movie do the same if there was a Carter or Clinton poster in that home?
