Movies about death: The Farewell and Shadowlands
I did do some writing on media about death previously:

Even though that post title indicates a focus on reading, the arc on Blackish where Bow's father dies had a big impact.
There were movies that were part of this too, with mixed results.
The Farewell (2019)
This one touched me a lot. I did actually reference (though not very

| I have been inclined to give Demeter some benefit of the doubt seeing as she has some real reasons to worry, but she does not come off looking good here. I still adore the main relationship and the way others get brought in. | |

Technically it is only an alphabet in Spanish, as the English titles rarely start with the same letter. Regardless, the poems are simple but evocative, with gorgeous art celebrating the Earth, pictures often smoothly linking two poems on facing pages ...more |

There are some interesting ideas here that I think would be better treated by someone with more respect for religion and less contempt for humanity. I'm not saying there aren't reasons for those attitudes. ...more |

Lisa's review
of
Shared Prosperity in a Fractured World: A New Economics for the Middle Class, the Global Poor, and Our Climate:
"About my bad grade of this book: it has nothing to do with the way it was written, but rather that I found that he made a lot of baseless claims, and drew a lot of baseless conclusions.
Am I a fan of neoliberalism? I can’t say I am, but even with that" Read more of this review » |

Kind of messy and hard to get attached. There is someone pretty likable in Primo, but there is a lot of noise around him. A cute dog, but the dog barely registers. I think there was potential that was squandered on making everything bigger and louder ...more |

I am a big fan of boss and this is not her best work. It is still really important. Even though it is very short I spent a long time on it because I wanted to re-read and think about. When I started reading about ambiguous loss, it was because of my m ...more |

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

“Look you wanna know the truth? I don’t really care about the
stats or the cup or the trophy or anything like that. In fact even the games aren’t that important to me. What matters to me is the perfect throw, making the perfect catch, the perfect step and block. Perfection. That's what it's about. It's those moments. When you can feel the perfection of creation. The beauty the physics you know the wonder of mathematics. The elations of action and reaction and that is the kind of perfection that I want to be connected to.”

“In an era when metaphysical and existential certainties are in a state of crisis, when people are being uprooted and alienated and are losing their sense of what this world means, this ideology inevitably has a certain hypnotic charm. To wandering humankind it offers an immediately available home: all one has to do is accept it, and suddenly everything becomes clear once more, life takes on new meaning, and all mysteries, unanswered questions, anxiety, and loneliness vanish. Of course, one pays dearly for this low-rent home: the price is abdication of one’ s own reason, conscience, and responsibility, for an essential aspect of this ideology is the consignment of reason and conscience to a higher authority. The principle involved here is that the center of power is identical with the center of truth.”

“If the main pillar of the system is living a lie, then it is not surprising that the fundamental threat to it is living the truth. This is why it must be suppressed more severely than anything else.”
