What a great movie! Perfectly appropriate to discuss considering the current election.
I do believe the time will come after the election where we will notice that’s everything is alright. I hope everyone can find peace with their vote and let it all take its course, sit next to each other and have a coffee. Considering the pendulum of society shows us this was all part of the journey I think it’s best we focus on the pager of all this. Every “WE” generation shifts back into a “ME” sooner or later and I can only hope we treat each other with enough respect and decency to make it there.
Lastly and most importantly… I don’t know who you are. When I came across your Substack I enjoyed reading about your thoughts on film. In the few short weeks I’ve kept up, I have now reached a point where I become excited when I see that “from the yard” notification. Not even sure if you have already written your story in any of your pieces, but today I find out you’re Hispanic and there’s a bit more of the “mystery being revealed. Thank you for sharing your mind and heart with us. I so deeply appreciate it.
I don't really want to write too much about "my story" because of my concern regarding retaliation from law enforcement and my original captors, so some details will remain fuzzy. Gotta have a light touch with all that stuff. Telling certain things about my identity is also telling certain facts about the identities of others, so there will be blanks that cannot be filled.
Great piece! I have not seen Miss Sloane, but it sounds like a political version of Molly’s Game, another great Jessica Chastain movie. I’m definitely going to check it out!
Also, congratulations on voting! Reading to the end made me swell with pride. So happy to have your right to vote restored so you can engage with us in our democratic system!

Well, thank you for the kind words.

I completely understand respect. I too agree to keep things that way. Your insights on film tell enough of the story. Keep doing big things!
Congrats on getting your power back and voting. It’s a huge deal.
