I’ve just been to see ‘The Secret Agent’ – in a cinema near you now hopefully. You must see it. Like all films it’s not perfect, but it amazed me because of how immersive it is. I had to go to the toilet at one point (it’s quite long) and wondered why I wasn’t in 1977 Brazil. Why did I know nothing about Brazil until now? The film is billed as a political thriller, and it is. Don’t let the title put you off. This is the best film I’ve seen this year. The soundtrack is so good too.
Ps Going back to Howard’s point – do we need to go through the palaver of a written article submitted to the Editorial Committee, or should the Editorial Committee just accept online items for publication.https://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi746571801?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
Thank you Moo, for your Rebel Girl Song dedication. It means a lot to know that I have at least one woman comrade.
I would give you an upvote but unfortunately we don’t have upvotes on this forum- can this be fixed? (speaking as novice moderator)
Thomas More – don’t call ALB stupid for expressing his view. But you are correct- it’s a mystery why Europe maintains the fiction that this is a war worth fighting for. It seems to fly in the face of common sense. Perhaps continuing the war gives profit to European arms manufacturers, I can’t think of any other reason. The capitalist class remains a mystery always – for example, why does it condone genocide in Gaza – until we look for the profit motive. I can only surmise that one section of the capitalist class (Europe?) stands to lose profit if another section (Russia?) gains.
