Twisted Nerve (1968)
"Martin's dead. He's been bad. N- not Georgie. Bad, bad Martin. And now... I lay me down to sleep, pray the Lord my soul to keep... if I die before I wake... if I die before I... wake..."
#twisted nerve#1968#british cinema#roy boulting#leo marks#roger marshall#hywel bennett#hayley mills#billie whitelaw#phyllis calvert#frank finlay#barry foster#salmaan peerzada#gretchen franklin#timothy west#russell napier#christian roberts#brian peck#timothy bateson#bernard herrmann#a... tricky little film. that iconic whistling score has long outlived the source material‚ a troublesome but undeniably well made psycho#thriller that gently pushed boundaries for mainstream brit cinema in the late 60s. Bennett was never prettier‚ the Boulting bros never#more focused and challenging‚ but time has not been kind to some of the language and attitudes on display here. actually time isn't even#really the main issue: plenty of people were upset by this film's depiction of developmental disabilities and its pseudo scientific#exploitation plot on first release (so much so that the producers added a spoken disclaimer to the beginning of the film). it's undoubtedly#objectionable in its broader thrust and its central conceit and i quite get why that will be enough to turn most people off it and even#earn their enmity. but get past it (if you can‚ if you choose) and there are still things of value here‚ imo. the supporting cast is#particularly glittery‚ with Foster (repellent)‚ Whitelaw (complex and quietly tragic) and Peerzada (eternally patient and dignified in his#dealings with ceaseless racism and ignorance) the particular stand outs. it's handsomely shot‚ too‚ with Roy B flexing his creative muscles#a little in a rare aside from his usual comedy film projects. idk there's something here‚ i think. but watch forewarned and prepared

To Sir, With Love
“I believe one should fight for what one believes. Provided one is absolutely sure one is absolutely right.”
“How do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfumes?”
My first Sydney Poitier, my favorite Sydney Poitier! And honestly, this movie is still super relevant and could be made today—if there were a cast capable of living up to the original.
And I can never skip the song in good conscience, be it on the radio, youtbe, or the movie.
Ps-there’s a book!

The vast majority of Republicans support Christianity in theory, but not in practice. They don't want to actually live by the teachings of Jesus. They believe that merely declaring themselves to be a Christian makes them a Christian. But by supporting Donald Trump, a man whose values are in close alignment with Putin and Pontius Pilate, Republicans have given us proof that they are only pretending to follow Jesus.
Trump has trampled on Jesus' virtues of being Kind, Honest and Humble. Instead, Trump has replaced them with Vengeance, Lies and Vanity. He rejects Jesus' philosophy of compassion. Instead, Trump prefers to greet immigrant neighbors with Razor Wire, and disgraces himself by ironically calling them inhuman "animals."
Trump's values are the complete opposite of Jesus' values. True Christians see Trump clearly and are appalled. But Fake Christians have covered their ears to the truth and closed their minds to reason — convinced, by the strength of their own gullibility, that they have found a new savior.
Republicans could have chosen any other GOP candidate. But instead, Fake Christians chose the most fake Christian they could find.
There are really only two possibilities as to why conservative "Christians" would support Trump over other GOP candidates:
• either, they are completely unaware of what Jesus actually taught, ...or...
• they are aware of His teachings, but choose to ignore Jesus anyway — preferring instead to embrace Trump's conceited self-worship and mean-spirited way of life. Thus, Republican "Christians" have, themselves, become the hypocrites and fake followers Jesus warned us about.
