Last-Flag-Standing (2020)
The miracle of correctness
Russell Jay Gould talks about some important points on his journey to become Postmaster General and claiming the flag of the USA when the country lost it's sovereignty in 1999 due to a third bankruptcy. Thereby saving his motherland from a foreign takeover. The enduring of imprisonment by the state of the nation he saved, and the interesting postal correspondence between him and various powerful institutions of this world, are a few of the important matters the movie covers. I highly recommend everyone watching this move. The subject of law might seem a little dry to some, but in view of the weight of the reality it reveals it is a must see for all freedom lovers and truth seekers.
Down by Law (1986)
3 men end up in a prison cell. And then they escape.
This movie is a story about how 3 men meet in a prison cell. Their escape, and their evolving relationship. Cast in the swamps of Louisiana, in black and white. It has a slow and underplayed mood to it, which is a delight to watch. When the movie came out in 1986, it stood out as different and daring. It attempts to tell a simple story, while giving room for the viewer to enjoy the mood of events unfolding. It doesn't use cheap Hollywood tricks to lure us into a desire to want more. No. It simply tells the story about how 3 men meet, and part. In a calm and honest way. I was crazy about the movie when it first came out, because it was so different from everything else I had seen. It's tempo was slow, and that was unusual for an American movie. But today this sense of calm narrating has become common in movies. See the movie as a meditation. It's simple plot allows the director (Jim Jarmush) to focus wholeheartedly on the human aspect of the story. It is one of the best movies of it's own time. I highly recommend it to everyone who likes the subtle aspects of human life. (PS: I haven't even told you about the music made by Lurie and Waits. It's topclass)
