Nearly nothing likeable about any character. It was more of a scale of who I disliked most and why. I won't go into that. Elsewise the plot seemed obvious, and the ending rushed. I still enjoyed it, especially the integration of two black sheeps in a herd of wolves in sheeps clothing. One needed love, the other craved it ravenously.

Adrian Brody's Oscar winning performance here has never been bettered and his film choices since have been questionable, however his turn as a talented pianist caught on the wrong side of the fence during Germany's occupation of Warsaw is heartbreaking, nuanced and raw.
There is very little dialogue towards the middle of the movie, as the onscreen images speak volumes, essential viewing.

Storytelling in the Raw
The Director, Peter Berg, has always done his due diligence in providing the most accurate means of storytelling when it comes to films based on real events, however harsh or offensive they might be. Patriots Day can fill you with anger, sadness, joy or hope, sometimes all at once, which is precisely the task of the director and crew....feeling.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Nevermind by Nirvana in Music

Nevermind by Nirvana

1991 | Alternative, Rock
Rolling Stone's 17th greatest album of all time
It's easy to ignore this album as simply the album with the most overplayed rock song in the world, but it is a superb album. Smells Like Teen Spirit aside, every song offers something different, passionate, raw and emotional. This was a very welcome return visit to an album I loved and then ignored for too long.

"This is a record that has really been a soundtrack for life. One of my older brothers had this so I got to hear it really early on when I was about 9. It melded in with the other records I started to hear later on around 79 when I was 15. I had a basis for punk rock, and this was it – Raw Power."
