Off topic, but with all the tension and stress of the current news cycle many like to take a break and decompress with a good movie. Perhaps we can have a discussion of our favorite "good movies" and/or suggestions that others may not have seen.
"Good movie" is subjective, let me define "good" as any work that holds up or demonstrates the American way, Freedom and Liberty the values of western Christian society and individual responsibility. Movies that when finished are uplifting and inspire.
In short movies with a good message, not the current era of demoralization porn hollyweird is making. Cinema is powerful, why not use the power for good?!
Here are a few of my favorites and why.
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. (1939) - Watched only recently, amazing how the plot of a movie from 1939 can be so painfully relevant in modern day. Themes of a corrupt media monopoly, DC swampiness and an interesting personal army for Mr. Smith.
The Edge. (1997) - Themes of human endurance and survival, overcoming the impossible.
Tombstone. (1993) - Great contemporary Western movie, men actually acting like men and women drinking too much Laudanum.
White Squall (1996) - I'm sure most have already seen, but an interesting film none the less. Coming of age meets natural disaster. Nice bell they have on the bridge :D
The Lives of Others. (2006) -Subtitled, protagonist is an East German Stasi officer watching a dissident group. Very interesting look at how evil can be formed into a system and formalized. Honestly a dark movie but it makes an incredibly strong point about the duality of man, the heaven and hell that lives inside all of us. As a whole piece it's an amazing movie, even when thinking of it now I would swear someone is cutting onions nearby.
What are your favorite examples of uplifting movies that demonstrate good values?
With Maricopa county audit set to drop shortly, Ghislaine Maxwells co-accusers to be named and who knows what else in the pipeline it strikes me that there are likely going to be a lot of vacant seats at all levels of government becoming available soon.
Looks like a great opportunity for civic minded pedes to get involved in their own local governance and take control of their respective cities and states back, one seat at a time.
Would be a great time to get educated on what is happening locally and how You can get involved and make a difference.
Food for thought.
Monday 23rd Clowns in America director William Burns met face to face with taliban leader abdul ghani baradar.
Thursday 26th airport attack & US casualties.
Why would a face to face meeting be required from the director?! Is Kabul not a bit dangerous? Does one not send an underling to negotiate with terrors in an active warzone?
IDK what if anything one has to do with the other, but an odd coincidence none the less.
In other words they waited until it could not help Trump.
FDA is a political entity.
