Movie Favorite

". . . for its originality, objectivity, and political power. I studied it while I was preparing Overlord. I admired a quote of Pontecorvo’s: “Technically U.S. directors keep improving. But this technical expertise hides an emptiness that keeps getting bigger. They’re very good at saying nothing.”"

Movie Favorite

"The way that Gillo Pontecorvo makes his political points without resorting to propaganda—while always being truthful to the characters—is utterly brilliant. It’s a true-life thriller that doesn’t resort to a single cliché. The music is also unequaled in film."

Edwidge Danticat | 2008 | Biography, History & Politics

(0 Ratings)

Book Favorite

"If there’s any nonfiction book that I wish had lost its relevance, this is it. But Danticat’s very personal 2007 account of her family’s differing journeys seems even more urgent today, dealing as it does with emigration and asylum and political upheaval."

Ross (3284 KP) rated Fear of a Black Planet by Public Enemy in Music

May 22, 2020

Rolling Stone's 302nd greatest album of all time

Superb hip hop from Chuck D et al. Such strong socio-political statements that can't be ignored (though lets face it, they largely were for quite some time) layered on brilliant sampling and mixing.
