The Movie...

I don't know what to say...I haven't seen it and I'm not sure I want to.  But, I do like your writing and the synopsis that you have given us.

Unfortunately we haven't learned much from history. The same things keep happening; the strong and manipulative are still taking from the vulnerable and weak, and those who don't join the fray themselves mostly keep turning a blind eye. We have too few real heroes.

I was surprised yesterday to see the change. Early on Friday morning. It was under the familiar look. Then when I checked out the sign in the middle of the day is changed. I’m fine with it so far.

Good Morning

Kabu, when I came on Blogit this morning everything looked so different.  It takes me a while to get used to change.  I'm glad you got to see the movie but I don't think I could handle it.  It's far too much for me.  I'm afraid we will be going into a major war and that's almost more than what I can think about.

It's supposed to be a great movie. It tells a story many don't want to hear. Even as a child I knew what happened was wrong.

Re: yes dear Pat. we really wanted to see it and the acting is brilliant.

The story is about big oil on Indian land and how wealthy the Indians became, except only little amounts were dolled out to families; enough for them to buy a house and as the town grew and their dependents would grow up and inherit the oil revenues, White men were marrying the girls in a family. But most of those girls died sudden deaths if they weren't the eldest and married to a white man. Then men who had married a younger sister too were eliminated and a couple of big smart white men eventually owned all the holdings....but it is based on real people.

I wondered what that movie was about. Don't think I'll be seeing it. I've had about all I can take of man's inhumanity to man, what with the wars and civil unrest and mass shooters and catastrophe of all kinds. I need a cartoon with coyote and road runner and the happy little beep-beep sound effects.

Good afternoon

I agree with you. The words on the Blogit template are bigger, and I am not mad about that. It works for me. Nerd smile
