It's on Prime, based on a novel by Colson Whitehead about the underground network that slaves used in the deep south, it's based on real events but it's a work of fiction about 2 slaves trying to escape the plantations.
Tbh Luv I've become a bit numb to tv and films on slavery. I think 13 Yrs a Slave was the last thing I watched which was good.
I do remember seeing something on a documentary or news report about these underground routes though, some actually from big mansions but can't remember exactly.
12 years was not great imo. I like some of the directors stuff but that wasn't my fave. This is more interesting already.
Awake now, so watching a program on the opportunity river that they put on Mars.
Goodnight Oppy
Watched 2 Netflix films ...
Forgotten Love - Polish film - Sumptuous period trauma- solid 8/10
Swept Away - directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Madonna - comfortably the worst film I've seen this year - would probably have given it zero but a couple of shots of Madonna's tits (which are still rather impressive) drags it kicking and screaming to a 1.5-2/10....

Yeh you've defo sunk to new depths with that rating.
It's bloody god awful and you'll never watch it again but 7.5
I'm a big Wes Anderson fan and enjoyed the film but freely admit it's not his best, but also not his worst. I think if you're a fan you accept what you're going to get before putting it on which may help.Yeh you've defo sunk to new depths with that rating.

I think that's the point. You've up levelled it bcos it's Anderson. But it's ****.
Like that garbage Nolan put out with Tenet. I'm a big fan of his and I know what kind of film to expect before I put it on, but it was still ****.
Up its own arse, like AC here. Very good directors have a habit of doing this sometimes when they believe their own hype. Expect Anderson to reflect on his life, sort himself out and come out with a banger next.
I also didn't like Tenet. Asteroid City is indulgent yes but not overindulgent crap like Tenet. There's a constant theme about death and grief running through the film with all the Wes Anderson distraction around it and I enjoyed that and some of the lighter moments that I thought depicted the ability of people to carry on regardless of the hurt and grief that may have happened in their lives.
Here's a poem to make it all better.
Ishiyama no
Ishi yori shiroshi
Aki no kaze
^^^^^ Haiku
A whiteness whiter
than the stones of Stone Mountain
The wind in autumn
Translation ^^^^ also Haiku
Matsuo Basho's most famous poem,written when on the hilltop temple of Komatsu in 1689.
But still ****.
Point proved!
