Fragile

Re: Fragile

good to see you too @Former-Member Heart

Re: Fragile

The Australian movie Shine was 13 years before the American one which on reflection says a bit about Americans so called progressiveness and our backwardness .... hmmmm. I never saw many films at the time when they were showing in cinemas until last couple years.

I generally like our films. DId you see Ladies in Black? @outlander

Ill finish the Handmaids Tale soon.  It annoyed me a bit when I first watched as being overly manipulative and too hysterical .... hmmmm.  in that sense I distanced a bit from the characters rather than the intention which is to make you feel for them. I felt the makers needed a reality check.

 

Re: Fragile

no i havent @Appleblossom
thats still in cinemas? or is there an older one?

yes it can be quite dramatic, i felt for the characters but what shocked me more was the actual theme of it im sure is based on true life. I hope that never ever happens again.

Re: Fragile

@outlander  Margeret Attwood is a feminst and I agree with many of her ideas.  It is based on a society that might occur, speculative fiction, an extension of fear of right fundamentalist thinking and culture in America.  Feminist scifi.  On one level I loved the cinematography, camera angles etc. The colonies are based on Russian and WWII camps, with a modern take.

On a mental health level I need to be careful about being effected by negative moods in film.

Hey @Shaz51 Thinking of you in the heat. Hope you have not melted and are in one piece.
