Never Say Never Again on TV. It uses such soft focus I thought maybe I needed to be checked for cataracts.

Just saw a thing today with GDT saying it’s not his job as a filmmaker to impart wisdom but to share experience. I think that applies here - it’s not the filmmakers job to present perfection, but to engage us on a human level through the gaps, because humanity and the universe is imperfect.

The government must treat this as the emergency it is. Our sovereignty, democracy, and the lives of some of those who live here are threatened by a deadly combination of US billionaires, Russian interests and homegrown fascists.

Also my wife has inherited her mum’s very Indian attitude of ‘why pay a reasonable price for goods or services when you can go through a time-consuming and shame-inducing process of haggling to get it for free’, with which I am forbidden to interfere.

‘Firecracker’ is ok as a title but a little generic. ‘Tiger Woman & Firecracker’ is brilliantly specific and much more intriguing.

But as nice as awards are, the industry is so difficult and I find myself a couple of years on, still struggling to break out of circumstance. Still working a day job (delivering ridiculously expensive furniture to the very rich, ironically)...

The switch in the ending (from the version in the book) mirrors a similar theme to Star Wars. For those at the bottom, the only way to beat the powerful and bring down the system, is to reach out and put your faith in your friends... your fellow human beings...

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating." www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hea...
