I will never get through this list, but I am so pleased that this movie mattered enough to the creators of this syllabus to put in the work and love to make it. Wishing @mminthecity.bsky.social were here to celebrate.

the only other thing i'll add to this movie conversation is people need to learn how to separate "not liking a piece of art" and "this art isn't good." do i like HAMNET? no. it is a good film? YES.

"People from St. George’s to New York City heard Maurice Bishop affirm Grenada’s sovereignty and connect its struggle to Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, and every place where people sought to cast off imperial domination. He said 'We are not in anybody’s backyard, and we are definitely not for sale'.”

you don’t need to read the books, but episodes 1 & 2 will probably make you want to read them. i watched first and then read shane/ilya’s first book before episode 3 dropped last week. if you enjoy romance, this is REQUIRED watching. we have never ever seen book-to-screen adaptation like this.
