    Diary for My Children

    ★★★

    A teenager rebelling against her strict guardian. A tale as old as time, yet set against the brutal Stalin purge. A theme of this film is Juli's silence. Everyone's always asking why she's so quiet. She alludes to an answer about 3/4 of the way in:

    "When the war broke out, every single soul around me was crying. Children, women, men. And many of them died. And I stayed alive."

    Apathy in a world that demands conformity is sometimes the best rebellion, or at least it may mean survival.

    Only recently discovered New England but man am I hooked. It’s like, the cold weather makes warm people, or something idk, I really liked it. 

    If Giamatti loses because Cillian was really good at saying “what have I done?” I’ll lose too.

    Based on a documentary? Book? True events? Nope. Just a movie. Huge
