Vielleicht spendieren die Ellisons dafür dann sogar Full HD.

Also Habecks Initiativen kopieren und als seine Erfolgsmodelle präsentieren kann er schon ziemlich gut.

I guess in the US that's still not enough to sue Trump?

Ich denke die überschätzen eh den kontroversen Faktor. Zumindest bei den angedeuteten Punkten zum Thema Integration, sehe ich wenig Knalleffekt Potenzial. Außer man legt es unbedingt darauf an.

That's why it's so powerful - and i think more impactful the older the viewer gets.

The film essentially acknowledges that, if you're a good person, you may not get to live the life you want.

But there's still enormous value - often in the form of the friendships we find - in the life you did.

You can see him do it here. And if you watch carefully, you'll see he nearly breaks up when he starts trying to explain why, and quickly pivots to a general answer about good filmmaking as a get out.

I don't think it's hard to imagine why that scene hit so hard for him at that moment in his life.

One of the better documentaries on Netflix is called Five Came Back - it covers the wartime experiences and output of John Ford, William Wyler, John Huston, Frank Capra, and George Stevens. Definitely worth watching.

As Capra later said:

"I had my belly full of war and i came out a perfect pacifist."

Stewart wasn't even sure he'd ever act again. He didn't know if he could still be the nonchalant heroes he always played.

He only agreed to do Wonderful Life because Capra said it would help him find a way.

The Economist. It presents me justifications to blame someone for my unsatisfactory day.

Weird how the friend didn't mention even one positive trait about her. Only claimed to admire them for overcoming challenges, just to then report that she has a problematic attitude.
