Thankyou for your review. Until reading it I had not fully realized that the writer and director’s trick was to put us in the midst of the conspirators with only their knowledge and lack thereof re. Hitler’s fate. Prior films on the topic made it clear right after the bomb exlosion that Hitler ahd survived, thus removing any sense of suspense.

Re. Bonhoeffer – he was in prison on July 20 and his fate was sealed with the explosion of Stauffenberg’s bomb as the related Gestapo investigation led to Dohnanyi’s Zossen documents. While not a member of the July 20 conspiracy per se, he was a committed resister and a victim of Hitler’s purge.

Heroes all!

Comment on High Art: The Beautiful Writing of Anton Ego in Ratatouille by Mark Richardson

Ratatouille is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. (I’m 43).

When I first saw it in the theater I was alarmed and embarrassed by my emotional response. After many viewings my heart is still in my throat at the end of this film: Remi’s choice of a “peasant dish”; Linguini taking on the useful role of waiter; Ego’s profound, instantaneous and permanent humbling; even Chef Skinner’s outraged and comical, “I demand to know who makes the Ratatouille!”

This children’s movie has something important to teach us about alienation and cynicism — and their cure.

I just rewatched Ratatouille and that part of the movie deeply resonated with me as well. Thank you for sharing it.

Comment on Rick Majerus on Discipline (Part I) by Vicki

Most loving parents want what is best for their children and want to protect them from hurtful things. In so doing, there is a fine line between what is hurtful and helpful. Sometimes the best lesson learned is through personal experience whether it be good, or bad. Those first-hand lessons help to build character and strength to withstand future developments in life. Mom and Dad aren’t going to be around forever to protect the children, and these “hard knocks” during the formative years will arm the children as they traverse into adulthood. Similarly, the good and fun things that they experience also play a part in their development, as do the people they come in contact with along the way. So, perhaps we all become a composite of the people we meet, memories we have, things we read, basically, everything that touches us in life.
