Style, effervescent style. American individualist is not a feminist, nor fascist, nor communnist. Recently watched for first time. Sugar Daddies are something of the past but still linger from the days of 60's as Breakfast at Tiffanys world. Young beautiful ladies can have a good life. Could even get married to someone they loved. "Breakfast at Tiffanys" 1961 is a memorial service to not running away from a boring life. Farm girls, all girls, grew up in 50's had a chance to be free from dead housewife life. Holly, female lead, ran away from the farm to New York City. So many abandonment stories untold from young girls just after WWII. Not all victory. Lives turned upside down. So much death. Siblings, fathers died. Young girls, many looked outside of all the lives lost and wished a different life. What was all that death for? "I want to live any way I want" is Holly GoLightly's motto. Where is life exciting, wild. Holly runs away from a marriage to an old man to the wildest place possible & seemingly glamorous place possible, New York City. Pretty, she mingles into a rich but lowlife jet set. Thinking the excitement will forever make her special, free. This film is so beautifully flowing just want to stay for the ride. George Peppard(actor), writer living in Holly's building, is young, handsome, rather kept by a lonely wealthy old woman. He finally gets a publisher & casts the old woman away. Desperately tries to rescue Holly from her meaningless lifestyle. Holly is not stupid but desperately trying to outrun herself. She is arrested for associations to drug dealers, some which attend all the wild parties. Still wants to run away to Brazil after broken engagement. Must be endless true stories like Holly's. The explosive energy still in the air after WWII did not go away for decades. Holly is an American. She does not want to live a meaningless life. She wants independence but lives really in the love of the young author. He loves her for all that she is but wants some reasonably normal life with her. Cat, Holly's cat in the movie, is her real family, the author, suddenly, becomes her family. No more running. Holly and Cat sandwiched, in between Holly and the young author hugging in the rain. Happiness is allowed. Not as exciting left behind of WWII Escapist mentality of drop out existentialism. Not dark cinema like those coming out of Europe. They lost the War. Europe was still prisoner to horribly dark times of WWII, the Iron Curtain, refugees. Holly is a product of the winning side. The shrapnel from American psyches still blurs the air. What are young girls in America now? Just happy ever after? Just searching like Holly ? Holly is the link to modern young girl. She might even wear a mini dress soon, or become a hippie but she will never be left to the desolate boredom of easily satisfied housewife. Holly escaped. Fashion of a psyche far away from WWII. Birth of women's movement? No. Holly is her own person. Entirely different from feminists of today. Does not need instagram nor twitter definitely not facebook. Holly has accepted love and after all, she marries a writer. The individuality of sharing life with a creative is quite independent indeed. Forget the remake. These actors blur away all the world round your 4dk anything. Don't look dated. Audrey & George are just pretty & free & off to see the world together. More individuals than anything yelling & trashing out America today. 60 years ago but now.

Last Days of Disco is a question now answered. Disco may return some day in another form. 2022 April . Socialization desparately needed. But how. We are all electronified to death. New York Ad Executives converge at a Disco. Certain criteria for being admitted. Beauty? Not being an ad executive. Eventually the Disco beast 'caves' in to death of disco and ad agencies start imploding. They surely did in 1991. But this film is landscaped in 1998. Had left agency and publishing industry so reality of 1998 do not know. Several personalities reinvent themselves and change pairing, redetermined. The end of Disco had actually happened in the 1970's. 90's were sunseting. Big agency life vaporizing. Caustic & selfish self labeling as yuppies but late yuppies. That was the '80's. Advertising landscape became a different frontier. This movie is fun, curious, quick, the car & moving about will swallow itself. Facetime is threshhold posture. Started to really like the characters. Hoping the better for them. Entertaining. Forgot the world & melted into this film. We had a club in downtown Los Angeles much like the club in the movie. Long gone. Facebook has aged & Mega is just another dinosaur. Disco was a fun time. Dancing is a fun time. How will we ever get up to a Happy Time? My Takeaway.

Trial after Death...sound unbelievable ... or just maybe the witnessed time of your life to go on. Superb acting...Meryl Streep, Rip Torn, Albert Brooks, Lee Grant...few actors ... tight venues to display what needs to be...Highly believable ... You will join these finest of actors & be there ... & Really wonder as to whether you could be doing more to accomplish or have accomplished in Life & that there Really is an extraordinary place in the Afterlife ... In the meantime You Are Just Doing The Best You Can... That Being Afraid Is Not Always Timorous... Fear is not necessarily stupidity & money isn't everything or that maybe not chosing the most amount of money might be the wisest decision. This movie..."Defending Your Life" is worth every minute ... for those of you whom experienced the end of the 80's or very beginning of the '90's esp. in the Metropolis of Los Angeles ... it's a great return to the Era of Excess ... If you did not ... the film is a nostalgia to visit to learn of that time or anytime...just where is it that we go...Clever ... Timeless ... Being in the Moment ... Nirvana of Forever but Only in The Afterlife If Judgement Isn't Too Harsh ... Well Scripted Humorous Compassionate Disturbing to a Point ... Very Entertaining ... Very Very Entertaining ...

"The Finest Hours" is a fitting tribute to those whom survived and those whom were lost immemorial to the U.S. Coastguard. Most seaworthy of all men at sea attempting to do often impossible ~ U.S. Coastguard. Not screaming wratching howling watery inferno of "The Perfect Storm", but these men are more noble as they only are there to rescue lives, not the greatest haul. Chris Pine a soft anchor to the tragedy but still conquering, keeps us steady at his stern of the CG 36500 to at least take 'all men' from the disastered sinking Coast Guard Lacerated Cutter, on board, cautiously. Reaching Chatham, the car headlights to beacon in the CG 36500 is hardly believable but hey Pine's fiancé is ashore and they 'must' readily meet kiss and embrace as finale to the pull and tug of rescue in The Finest Hours. A success story which soothes the audience. I wait for Pine to get to warm bath and dry clothes and long sleep.

High time U.S. has a show that is the 'alt' lifestyle of somebody just happy in what they do ... Cats have become such a social support system as they have extra perception about their human ... yes especially electronics ... It's warm I sit .... Cats are non-intrusive ...completely mobile ... and Mailik is channeling cat independence through her Cat Cafe ... Free spirit & the annoying mother is the intrusional reminder of the main character is quite independent ... Mailik's character just doesn't have the lifeline timeline goals ... Life is short & deadlines earmarked for traditionalisms are not the credentials for for this creature's survival ... what a relief to current reality right now ... how much more gloom might the stupid fake newz try to vomit at us ... parallel world is "Call Me Kat" ... removed from all ... still a lifestyle ... the Cats are in charge quietly ... that is o.k. ... Aloof ... good ... some essence of primeval peace to watch over the humans as just about anything we do is in excess ... Talking ... that's already in excess ... Mailik tours Kat through all types of humanness ... Kat is highly emotional ... but after all, She is human ... Would you like your coffee or tea with cream ? No, just want have some fun...so come with me to Kat's Cafe ... Thursdays @ 9p Fox tv ... No News ... Just Life ... and a whole lots of cats or Kat ❣️😻

Samovar spinning sparks🌌🎆🎇The time of Russian Aristocracy crouching under veils of the future but they do not see the veils. Alisa, daughter of a wealthy pretentious statesman, is secretly studying chemistry, forbidden for women at the time ~ 1900 in Russia. Her world is of silvery ice outside but repressed old values inside & somehow waiting for something better or someone. A 'peasant' or delivery boy for a bakery, Matvey, loses his job. He returns to his father a lamplighter. Money finds him giving in to ice skating thieves, whom race by the public pickpocketing and Matvey is pulled in as an accomplice. The scenery in this film is all cast in an icey silver day or night with the rivers in Saint Petersburg empty but for ice, to provide a skater's dream. Tea vendors ~ piroshki vendors fill the iced over rivers. Matvey intrigued by how the aristocracy lives, tackles a balcony of the huge estate where Alisa lives. She hears something on her balcony and checks to see Matvey. He leaves but the impression made on Matvey is world shattering. Alice soon becomes by force, engaged to a Russian Officer. She has already run off once with Matvey but brought home. Matvey determined to take her to France for study, masquerades to enter her home & manages to run off with her to the train in Saint Petersburg but one ticket was dropped at her home. They get to the station, Alice boards but Matvey runs to buy another ticket. Alice's fianceé is now running towards Matvey with a gun but is knocked to the ground and Matvey recovers the other ticket, runs & jumps on the back of the train, taking a bullet that was repelled by his silver skate tied to his jacket. Luster of ice & snow & shimmering lights is truly the image of one of the most beautiful cities in the world Saint Petersburg. Truly a scintillating Fabregé Egg untouched from the 1800's, immaculately groomed at all times. Women did not have the right to education nor the vote. Alisa's ticket was the silver skates as rescued by Matvey. Bound for Paris, their life will be happy and at the very end a glimpse of Matvey and a little boy and Alisa are shown. Everything is taute in the pace in this film, all rushing really to escape the Russian Revolution. This film is beautiful ribbony silvery reds blues all colors in a brocade flying across the screen while the escapes unfold. At that time, 1900, thousands of stories of escape to may or may not come true. Lenin's brother had attempted to assassinate a former Czar. Russia would be lost to Bolshevikism, communism, wars, still struggling to breathe a better air. But Russia is beautiful, holds one of the greatest histories in the World & is a perfect starting point for an enchanting romance as seen so well in "The Silver Skates." An escape from the real world as a great film must be.

Have researched the life of Billy the Kid, his background, the times in which he lived, people whom wrote about him whom lived in his era. This film is excellent to have Billy's life mirrored through the young "Rio", and reflected through Rio's sister, Sara. Lincoln County Wars over cattle herding were lawless...Pat Garrett, (also committed a murder in buffalo wrestling, was from wealthy Southerners family, all lost in the Civil War) was obsessed to put a price on the Kid's head, but there were many lawless men in that time in New Mexico. Pat Garrett killed Billy to take price off his own head. Dane DeHaan gets Billy's character perfectly, charming, boyishly handsome, he only wished to avenge the murder of his "father" figure whom was killed over ranchland. But everything was out of control in New Mexico, and the anger went to a young man who was no worse than the rest, and surely not as bad. Young Jordan Schur gives an excellent recount of a 14 year old growing up with no one to model, father, crazy /violent. Billy the Kid, was what the Wild West had to put a hat on. The movie is a medley of its times, young men, legends had to replace the lore of the Civil War. Very young country, borders still undetermined, endless fatherless young men awaiting the West. Think that Rio's character serves a purpose, to show the the infatuation of a hero, legend, and Billy hugging his youth, Rio, hugging a legend in search of shelter. Dangerous. Violent...The Wild West. Whatever else America was before...She became a raging Wildflower in the Wild West...and someone like Billy The Kid, William Antrim, born in the ever violent Five Points New York...was the kick "a.." blazing young Irish man...who fell in love with an America he helped create...deadly pretty...too wild to tame but still needing shelter to survive. Loved this movie. Forgot the world for awhile and lived in my favorite era, The Wild West. Young and wild, Billy was only 21 when Pat Garrett shot him as he stood up from sleeping, in the back. Coward, Pat Garrett was a coward. Want to give a scent to this movie...I chose "Mohave Ghost"...by Perfumiére Byredo...concept of a desert iris blooming only once every one hundred years and lately read of floods of the Mohave Desert some years back where lakes reappeared and a very near ghost of a flower bloomed ... Some researchers said once every one hundred years while some said no, once every five hundred years...so this flower has a memory...Billy the Kid reminds me of that flower..."Mohave Ghost"...charming rare...tempted by danger & epic events...like The Civil War...those exquisite rare blooms appear after epic events & the memory of Billy is just as charming ... wild ... rare ... See This Film.. No critiques gathered his essence...this film did.........💠🐎🏜️.......

The only Rotten Tomatoes are the idiots whom write reviews for Rotten Tomatoes 🤮🍅 "Little Italy" is adorable. Yah It's a romance. Finally a real romance. Family about rivaling Italian Pizzeria Owners. Anything wrong with that? No!!!!! They fight like Italians over what? Over the Sauce. But much more than that. Their son & daughter (the two rivaling families) whom grew up together eventually do not see each other for 5 years. The girl attends a chef's school in London. But must return home to Little Italy in a Canadian town to renew her visa and get a work visa. She returns alright. She's gorgeous now and quite well obvious to her lifetime neighborhood playpal. Their families still fight over the sauce but put down their arms finally when the two nearly lose each other but confess their love at the airport. The guy is going to start his own Pizzaria but brought up to to date for young people. He wants the gal to be part of that new Pizzeria, for she is an excellent chef, and at the last mimute she stays, does not go back to London. Cannot just have films about programmers or freaked out zombie love. This is sweet, plenty of tension and about food, Italian Food. A host of other cultures are cushioned by these Italians to be loved also. It is O.K. to see a happy ending. Yes? No? Yes? Fun very Romantic and a Sweet Ending Yes. 🇮🇹 Italians are very passionate. They like seeing their family happy. Yes? No? Yes‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
