All the Kings Men

This is a GREAT movie! I am so glad I watched it. I wish so much that I could teach a class about how to read books or watch films in ways that we can see the profound connections with our own real lives.

Too many people watch movies about other historical periods, or science fiction, or unusual people or circumstances, and they can't see beneath the surface differences between what is on the screen and what they themselves are really living and really care about.

We get all caught up in our own time or gender or race or nation or problems or regrets or concerns - so much so that we can't see the truly powerful truths that are being portrayed to us, merely using another person's drama as the surface vehicle.

Watch this movie! And think about how thoroughly it applies to YOU. Not just in its comments about conventional politics, but in the people and manipulations of each of our real daily lives.
