Arrow Goodbye

The movie that I referred to in yesterday's post, and which I finished watching the final 15 - 20 minutes of that evening, was 2018's The Happy Prince. 

I of course know of the name, Oscar Wilde; but I knew nothing of the actual person. For instance, I do not ever remember knowing that he was homosexual. Nor can I say that I have ever read anything that he wrote.

Consequently, I watched the movie almost as if I was being newly introduced to him. And from what I saw, I did not approve.

It rather boggles me that ─ and I have just now learned these claimed facts from Wikipedia ─ the actor portraying Oscar Wilde (i.e., Rupert Everett) was also the movie's writer and director. Apparently he went to enormous pains to get the long project completed ... and I see no value in his travails.

The Oscar Wilde in the movie was dissolute, and I thought him to be older than he supposedly was if he indeed died at the age of 46. It seemed unlikely to me that the man in the movie could be having homosexual relationships with clearly younger men when he seemed so much older and without means.

I did not much like the guy portrayed in the movie. He wrought his own hell, and for that was not much deserving of pity. I do not empathize with people who crave celebration and society at whatever cost. But I say that as someone who has lived nearly as a hermit for the vast majority of his life. I have generally felt myself to be quite alone ─ even in this household of five these past nearly 14 years.

Apart from all of that, the movie was confusing chronologically. Because I knew nothing of the subject, I had no idea when events were portrayed out of sequence. And that made so much of the movie incomprehensible.

In addition to that, events were depicted without explanation ─ I assume that it was expected that the viewer had sufficient education about Oscar Wilde to recognize what the events were that were being depicted.  

Clearly, that failed for me. Instead, I only witnessed a disjointed mess lacking logical continuity.

So for me, the movie was 'thumbs down'.

I also want to mention that although I somewhat recognized the names of supporting actors Colin Firth and Emily Watson ─ but not the persons of those actual actors, for they were not visually familiar ─ I have to admit that the entire cast was unknown to me with just one exception.

That exception was Béatrice Dalle ─ she was the sole reason that I tuned in the movie. Over the course of the past month or more I have been slowly trying to watch any movies of hers that I can find. So had she not been included in the cast, I never would have bothered with this movie.

Notwithstanding having said that, her role was negligible and perhaps even disappointing. Her character seemed to be a Butch-like figure who evidently ran a popular entertainment venue for the libertine, pretentious crowd that Oscar most enjoyed being amongst.

As such, she had a relatively brief role.

If I remember correctly, my wife had gotten home around 6:20 p.m. that evening, And seemed to preceded to her bed my younger brother and I when we both called it a night and sought our own beds (my wife and I have separate bedrooms).

Once my brother showed up, we were to watch an episode each of Arrow and then Endeavour. 

The Arrow episode was the series finale at long last. And what a sappy thing it was overall. Lord, the guy wasn't even dead! He was off in some other possibly futuristic 'reality', and his loyal wife Felicity got to join him.

This is nonsense. 

And in what possible universe do people run around referring to themselves in total honestly as "heroes"? How bloody smugly arrogant is that?

All I will say is that I rather wished that former villainess Black Siren / Laurel Lance somehow got her own spin-off. Actress Katie Cassidy played her extremely well. 

As for Endeavour, this episode caught my brother and I right up to the present. The ninth and final season of three episodes will be released later this year.

This morning I led off the viewing for my brother and I with the 1½-hour (1:35:53) June 18 YouTube upload Unregistered 215: Sam Husseini. 

"Unregistered" references a YouTube account called the Unregistered Podcast, hosted by Thaddeus Russell.

The investigative journalist Sam Husseini joined me to discuss the likelihood that COVID-19 was the result of a secret part of U.S. foreign policy, and to begin building a movement that will stop governments from endangering humanity.

With this sort of content, I would think that Thaddeus is likely uploading his videos somewhere other than censorial YouTube.

Next I tuned in a video that proved very relative to the preceding video, but entirely coincidentally so ─ it was an Organic Consumers' hour-long (1:00:06) June 11 upload to Rokfin: Stop Weaponizing Pathogens - Interview with Hrvoje Moric. 

The interviewer was very lovely Alexis Baden-Mayer.

Who was the first journalist to cover the lab origins of COVID-19 and point out the eerie similarities to Event 201?
 
Hrvoje Moric of Geopolitics & Empire in a January 23, 2020, interview with biological weapons expert Francis Boyle. The interview has since been wiped from the internet, but Boyle included the transcript in his new book, Resisting Medical Tyranny: Why the COVID-19 Mandates Are Criminal.

I'll be interviewing Hrvoje about his early reporting and everything he's learned since.

The final video we were to watch was almost a blockbuster ─ a 49-minute (49:59) July 14 upload by Maria Zeee to Rumble: John O'Looney - Hospitals Are Covering Up Baby Deaths By Cremating Babies Themselves.

John O'Looney is a brave Funeral Home whistleblower who has been raising the alarm since early on in the pandemic.

He joined us to discuss the findings from his embalmer which are in line with what Dr. Jane Ruby, Richard Hirschman and others have found - long, fibrous strands inside people who have been injected.

During our interview, John revealed shock information regarding hospitals covering up baby deaths by cremating the babies themselves.

That one is essential viewing for anyone who has not yet been inoculated, but might be considering it. Truly, it was definitely shocking.

Damn it! My brother is already home, and it is only 7:39 p.m. 

I must take leave for the day.
