Judging Movies By Their Message

Loyal Opposition @PinkFloydFan (1124) • United States 25 Apr

I think it's an inherent—and often subconscious—bias, but I wonder how much it shapes our final judgment of a movie. When a film presents an allegory or microcosm that aligns with our worldview, are we more likely to praise it,...

Xavier Bage While it is true that people generally identify with the films of their ideological choice but at the same time there are learned people who judge a film on many other criteria.

Cast Away movie. I am glad i finally watched it. Are you a fan of the movie or of Tom Hanks?

Greenery8 @grenery8 (16415) • Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska) 25 Apr

I watched it on last Saturday, very unusual choice by our cable tv but i felt it was a right time to watch it. If you watched it, by chance, then you know that some movie scenes turned into parody and that turned me away from...

An emu in the garden

Judy Evans @JudyEv (352147) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Apr

I guess you could call this emu ‘folk art’. The owner of our old family farm made it from barbed wire and bits and pieces of machinery. It’s very well done and to scale. The barbed wire is ideal for the plumage and he’s even...

Uber May Pull Out of Colorado

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (94517) • Arvada, Colorado 24 Apr

Gee, I hope that doesn't happen because I depend on Ubers to get us round at times. It would be the first time they had pulled out of a state. I think this new law is insane in my opinion all over one woman's wish. Politics...

Xavier Bage Perhaps the new law is meant to protect the customers. Why should Uber pull out? It will only help to bring more customers, I believe. Uber definitely is a big help in our city Kolkata , as well.
