American Factory 2019
Somewhere, a billionaire is jerking off to the sight of women singing and dancing in celebration of the virtues of lean manufacturing. We truly are all one.

Once Were Warriors 1994
God this movie hits hard. I forgot just how harrowing of a watch it is. Rena Owen's performance is truly inspiring and Temuera Morrison terrifies. Very successful in its depiction of the effects of colonialism on Māori culture. The violence, while hard to watch, never feels gratuitous. I'll be thinking about this one for a while.

Class mobility is a myth and the stock market is nothing more than a random number generator. None of it means anything.
The notion that rich white men would ever face the consequences of their actions requires a significant suspension of disbelief, but it's worth it.
