ughh the soundtrack was probably the worst feature for me. The choices were just so random for all i could see.
Felt like a combination of poor choices and budget limitations.
Personally the sound track and the little details or more to the point frequent massive deviation from the simplest things were the moments i got pulled out of the immersive entertainment.

I managed to get over the notion of gods who represent human archetypes and lessons about ourselves being movable and human themselves to be acceptable if completely insane at the same time as anything more than a purely entertaining concept.

I don’t think i heard a single song or musical backtrack moment that i actually thought thats perfect or good. Everything was like i can live with it or i hate it.

An open mind? Like that the river styx is now the ocean? That the final crossing point actually looks like a lake? That the wilderness despite blurring in the main shot clearly has dirt road tracts likely a farming area in the shot that are unmistakable signs the area isn’t wilderness.
One would think the ultimate representation of things would be absolute in mythology. Wilderness would be absolute and not incremental or to degrees.
Its overall good but the excessive levels of deviation from the classic is anything but immersive for me when i notice details and understand the material well enough.

Is it wrong to expect an apple when the theme is apples and have a rotted tomato thrown in your face?

Perhaps you should ignore the people who are so open minded without expectation they accept any and everything without question or significant consideration.

Realistically all opinions and views matter or none do.

Clever! I thank you for expanding my perspective. While reagan coined the phrase and made it a big show after considering your statement it seems much more clear he was one of the first anti hippie who were anti govt and pro drugs its really illuminating to realize how he made the collective war on drugs as a for purpose event beyond limiting competing business a reality.

Saying he supported apartheid is a massive and disingenuous or perhaps carelessly ignorant presentation of his position on the matter. It was far more complicated and it began with him supporting it but other realities at the time meant he had to backtrack on his initial support.

He clearly made his opinions on the topic known in the kronkite interviews which tell quite a different and more complex and anything but absolute binary story.

Do tax cuts cause shortages or does spending cause them? Pure nonsense semantic debate imho. Of course then you attempt to reinforce your own biases by stating he then “robbed social security”.
Well when a budget comes up short things have to be done and reagan nor specific parties are guilty of the same time and time again.

“deregulation caused savings and loan collapse taxpayers had to pay for”
This is such a common theme lately in major to big to fail banks planes trains autos and so many more are commonly getting bailouts from federal tax money in the vein that we can’t let such major players fall and let natural economics and free markets and hard times impact us all.

Personally i don’t agree with that choice but i can see it is a valid concern to some degree in some cases.

“The most corrupt administration us history” is pure bias and unfounded by any of my efforts to support this claim. There are endless examples most of which aren’t from these two modern gop examples.

Go ahead and play around for a minute with things like most corrupt us presidency in history and see how many pages it takes to even approach the names trump or reagan?

We get it you disagree with many of his policies and actions or even failures therefore he is evil.

Still it seems like a stretch to talk about how things can’t be political and partisan rants should be avoided while displaying your own significant bias and hyperbole if not outright half truths and misrepresentations.

Reagans era did indeed mark the beginning of major downturns for the middle class but that had little to do with his direct actions or policies. In fact try a crazy fun experiment and search something like … did reagan negatively impact the middle class. The results surprisingly indicate quite the opposite with gains in the middle class.

Seems he isn’t the absolute worst villain of all time until trump in actual found facts without bias.

Not a good legacy to talk about partisan politics rants and bias while leaving this kind of result as far as i can tell.

That seems flawed since reagan was the top office during the downfall. The main culprits were destabilizing efforts in their currency paired with their military spending in an effort to keep up with the perception of our own technology and spending.
The notion that somehow he had “little to do with it” seems mad to my mind.
Most people of the time are fully aware reagans iconic words were mere poliocitcal posturing or being at the right place at the right time to make nice cheap empty words seem far more powerful than they are.
A very common non partisan political tactic.

Its just one of those polarizing examples where the opposition says here is a very representative leader of strong leaning GOP policy. Nothing could be more evil than someone pursuing their own classical party agendas.
Still i grew up in the reagan era myself and from my perspective it was mostly good and strong times.

Nixon started it on US soil as an excuse to crack down or anti-war/anti-government activists. Reagan made it international as an excuse to destabilize South America, to profit off of the cocaine trade and to destroy black communities.

lol go figure.

I completely agree!

I was lucky enough to be born Canadian, too, Rose, and now I am lucky to be American.
Liars will always fight dirty against the truth but when they come at you the best thing to do is get in one good jab then ignore them. They hate that! ;) Have a good day, Rose 🤗

thanks Alien. It seems if someone doesn’t agree with my opinion then they find everything and anything to make what I say as not the truth or I’m wrong for thinking it. I knew I was going out on a limb when I made a statement. Funny thing is I’m not even American. I hope you are well on this Blessed Sunday. It was nice having a peaceful exchange with you. 😘❤️

Ah…beautiful 80’s

I hope it does. But trolls will move on to another controversial film.

when the speech in Berlin was done(the one you mean),the wall was already broken in hungary months before…which was the actual “tearing down the wall” event.
the eastern german regime was already dead at the time of the speech because people didnt follow orders anymore and protested every day in different towns
all of which had absolutly nothing to do with Reagan,but very much with the “weak” Gorbatschow
my country,my time back then, was actual that day in west berlin working

Reagan got credit for supposedly ending the Cold War, but he actually had little to do with it, and his speech had nothing to do with the wall coming down when it did. East German leaders, in an attempt to calm recent protests, had decided on some minor changes that would loosen border restrictions a little, but the spokesman announcing them screwed up and made it sound like the new policies were immediately in effect, so thousands started converging on the wall. The vastly outnumbered guards got no answers when they asked what they should do so they opened the gate and the rest in history.

To be fair. Looks like a guy who created an account less than a month ago is being weird. No one else really doing anything bad.

I haven’t watched it, but from what I’ve read it appears to be a fluff piece.

I was born in 84 so I really don’t know anything about this president besides random stuff I remember from school. Does this movie talk about the good and bad things he did? The good things you said he did and the bad things he did that Rex said?

I knew some of that. Didn’t know it was that bad though. Does the movie talk about any of that? Just assumed rightly or wrongly this would be a puff piece.

Iran-Contra, armed and trained the Afghan warlords that would go on to form Al-Qaeda. Tax cuts for the wealthy that caused a budget deficit, and he later had to roll back. Oh, and he robbed social security to pay for those shortfalls. Deregulation that caused a savings and loan collapse taxpayers had to pay for. The Reagan administration was responsible for slashing mental health spending and dumping the unwell on the streets. Supported dictators as long as they weren’t communists. Supported Apartheid. Thought AIDS was a punishment from god, so he did nothing to combat an epidemic killing thousands. The most corrupt administration in US history until a recent ex-president said hold my beer. The Reagan era marked the beginning of the end for the American Dreams of the middle class. Not a good legacy.

No Nixon began the war on drugs. Reagan and Nancy continued it and campaigned to many children to “Just say no” to drugs. I like to remember him by ending the cold war and his most poignant moment in history when he said “Mr. Gorbachev tear down that wall”

Not all mothers are worthy of that love.
