Film Club

It’s probably the anti-English agenda of those two films that irk me most.

LOTM is one of my all time favourite films and the music is awesome.

I've always been fascinated by native American culture and have a few books on the subject. LOTM is one of the few fairly accurate portrayals of the times.

Geronimo also has Wes Studi in the lead and is a very good film.

Not forgetting Dances with Wolves.

Talking of Dances with Wolves. I thought I was developing an understanding with a fox that used to visit our garden. I stopped chasing him off after the missus saw him with a rat in his mouth (he was useful!). He was quite cute and would sit there on the grass and we would look each other in the eye. Mutual tolerance. So the missus called me Dances With Foxes.

Then the little fūcker drunk in our porch and chewed my ‘best’ shoes. Next time I saw the cûnt I only just missed him with a stone.

Well at least he wasn't stone drunk in your porch!

Absolutely adore that film. Still hurts to see how much the Native American Indians have suffered. The first inhabitants of America and bullied of their land for profit.

With you on both counts there Rick.

👍.  It's still happening now though in other parts of the world as well sadly. Native tribes in Brazil loosing land to illegal logging or in Honduras where local African  people who have inhabited local coastlines for centuries have gone missing by unscrupulous government putting pressure on them to move out so they can sell to investors.

The Murder of Stephen Lawrence
8/10

Stephen Lawrence was a black London teenager attacked by white racists. His mother Doreen and father Neville fought to have the events properly investigated, culminating in a judicial enquiry into the events, and the inadequate investigation into the events by the Metropolitan Police, London's police force.

A watch almost as good, as it is infuriating.

Stephen
8.5/10

The story of the ongoing struggle by Doreen and Neville Lawrence to achieve justice and how a detective, DCI Clive Driscoll - working closely with the Lawrences - puts together an investigation that finally - more than 18 years after his death - secures the convictions of two of the gang who committed the murder of Stephen.
