For me, in WAKE UP DEAD MAN, this scene is the *heart* of the movie.
I still think about it two weeks later.
It has no role in the plot nor mystery.
Rian simply reminds us all to have grace, and find time, to be there for one another.

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.
These are the people who are willing to go on the record.

One of the bleakest things about living in the UK right now is that the country is full of people who, if their community is given something nice, will just destroy it for no reason. I really don’t know how you fix that.

Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

Come clean, come good, repeat with me the punchline "Just like blood", when those at the back rush forward to say how a little love goes a long, long, long way.

Also who cares why they did it? What matters is it's done. (In any case reducing poverty is one reason people vote for Labour MPs so mollifying is kind of the point of elected them).
I'm hearing criticisms of the end to the two child limit, because it was done just to mollify Labour backbenchers, at a cost of £billions.
I remember another govt delivering a referendum on EU membership, just to mollify restive backbenchers. That's costing way, way more... A little perspective?
