Based On/Inspired By Translation: it is likely that what you are about to see is revisionist history, rewritten to exclude facts. That is what Hollywood is very good at doing, now, and​ Viola Davis is an example of selling one’s soul to the devil. The lure of wealth is too great for some.

My disclaimer: I did not see the film. The amount of gratuitous violence in movies today makes me stay away.

One of my short stories has a violent scene lasting 15 minutes in real time. Ironically, that scene is the one most liked by my SFPD reader. The remaining stories and the novel have little violence and focus on solving crime.
Why make such a film? Being a victim feels good. You get to blame everyone else for your problems, and a film such as this one reinforces your self-pity. This attitude is the exact opposite of a proper Catholic. My religion teaches that seeking truth and justice are worthy causes, but circumstantial suffering is salvific, and one of its best practitioners is Joan of Arc.

Nice to see Dave Cullen is still posting videos.
He was a godsend during the lockdowns.
