this film is about NOW

Rating: 7/10 (8 February 2016)

A Coen Bros. personal film like llewyn davis. this and other films like spotlight, the big short, bridge of spies, trumbo, Mr. robot TV show, and candidates like Bernie sanders, who by the way is another Jewish man turning over money changers' tables, and Donald trump, ( dialectic opposites yet meet at the ends ), which are all anti-establishment, as is a growing # of citizens, is about the zeitgeist and our politics. as much as tech exponentially grows and changes so too does our fabric. religion, philosophy, economics, heroes, et al. the very physics of our nation and world. pretty heavy stuff for a Friday night at the movies. Hollywood is a great change agent and also opinion maker of that change. The Coens' say $ will rule the day.
BTW, i can watch swinton Tilda cows come home. i also missed woody Allen's touch on such matters. so.. render unto Caesar that which is his, and render me the freedom to go to the movies! bam!
