Last Film You Saw

[BigJoe#1]

Something The Lord Made..... WOW, fabulous story that meant such a lot to ma and more importantly my wife.

Its the true story about the development of Fallotss Tetrology, blue baby syndrome. Don't be put off by the subject matter but the story is sensational and very emotional. 9/10.

My wife had/has Fallots and without this surgery she would not be here at the sprightly age of 57, when at birth she was told she'd be lucky to see her teens, like I say 57 and going strong.

Equaliser 3 Denzel always watchable but he's better than these generic action filns. Reunion with Dakota Fanning mind. 6/10.

In the land of saints and sinners.

Very good. Essentially a western set in Ireland.

I am just bewildered as to how a black man from Africa is in 1974 Ireland and why that adds anything at all other than distraction to the story.

I watched it last night, and yes the character you mentioned seemed to be shoehorned in.

His character adds nothing to the story in anyway, the backstory of why he's in Ireland is laughable. I hope I don't come across as being a **** for pointing out the obvious.

A good film though, and the Irish countryside is beautiful.

The Fall Guy. Really enjoyed it. Ryan Gosling is brilliant but the film is very funny and a brilliant nod to the unsung heroes of films (stunt doubles), genuinely great.

Really ?

That’s the whole point of the film, a bit like Love Thy Neighbour, many saying it was racist when it was actually showing the white man as an idiot, same as Alf Garnett

Through today's eye, shows like 'Love Thy Neighbour' are seen as a depiction of those gammon-like people as idiotic.

Back then, ignorance was very much an accepted part of the right winged culture and ethnic minorities the butt of the joke and had to accept it.

History allows us to see what minorities saw more clearly.

I do not look back on these things with 'fond memories' in any way, shape or form getting the result of it at school the following day.

This is not a pop at you, Mavs, just an observation on lived past lives.

Absolutely but to ban something and not use as a tool to show the ignorance is a slippery slope

The Killer (Netflix) - The tale of a meticulous and measured hitman, until one day he isn't....7/10

 

[Blue Maverick]

Back to the future 2, quality mad at the end when it previews 3 and says coming summer 1990! 8/10

I understand that. It doesn't mean banning isn't apt. Disney have taken some stuff off the market without much furore in the end. Only the much older gen had something to say about it.

New generations don't have to know what had to be accepted in the past; it's a 'learning curve' that doesn't teach any lessons but to know it was accepted. Some might say it's okay it's only fun.

We have different points of view on it, but that stuff isn't readily shown today for a reason and, so far, there hasn't been a 'slippery slope' that I've seen.
