AIDS destroyed an entire generation, and deeply scared everyone my age. I was absolutely terrified of catching it and it provided real anxiety around every new relationship I started for most of my youth. It remains a criminally under discussed topic even now.
I’ve said it before, Marlon Riggs should be required viewing in every American school.
Overall, reggae is far too happy sounding for me. However, in small doses I do enjoy it, and it’s a really good rhythm for rocking a baby to sleep.
A marvelously gorgeous film that also managed to expose me to a new perspective on this period in the history of the Soviet Union. Unbelievably well made and impressive, I highly recommend this film to anyone who likes looking at incredible things.
I can’t decide if this is the dumbest movie ever made, or a work of perfect comedy genius. All I know is I really liked it, and I’m cool with that.
