  The Zone of Interest 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 24 Feb 2024

  For me, the most unsettling thing about this film is how relevant it is today.  

  It really makes me think most of humanity may be either psychopathic and therefore not real or inherently evil (apathy = evil).  I’d like to think that’s not true, but it’s sometimes really difficult.

  As an aside, I recently started playing this game in my own head whenever I meet someone new or get to know someone better: would this person have allowed something like the holocaust to happen?  My VP certainly would have.

  The Teachers' Lounge 2023

  ★ Watched 19 Aug 2024

  What is this woman’s problem?!?  Little kid beat my ass and threw my laptop in a river and it’s all MY fault?!  She is CRAZY!

  At a certain point you gotta stop cutting her slack for being well intentioned and you realize most of this is her fault for not standing up for herself.
