Brilliant.... updated for the modern times and well done. HBO took a book I loved that had a major impact in who I am and turned it into great movie.
It goes after both the far right and the fringe elements of the left. Both are dangerous if left unchecked and it essentially combines both into dystopian mashup up of our country in its its current state. The fear of opposing viewpoints, the runaway tribalism, the censorship of offensive material, the rewriting of history, and the runaway fascism present in both our left and right extremes. "Mark Twain was offensive to blacks, so we burn it all" |

I'm glad HBO did this, and liked how the update delved into the impact of social media.
However, why did they cut out his pill-addled wife? She was a prophecy of our opioid/tech addiction problem. Why no hound too? When we had to read it in school, that was the coolest thing in the story. With today's cgi, why cut that? |

The movie got some pretty poor reviews in a couple of place as well as rave reviews in others. Seems a little odd. I think a few things went completely over people's heads as I feel this adaptation of it was more about message than entertainment.

Here is an opinion piece on it from CNN: Link
Bob, if you want me to see what you posted instead of just the fact that you posted, you should use your other account. Otherwise you are just wasting more time than usual. Thanks. |
