from DEAD EYED MILLENNIAL FILM CLUB · host LMNHILLSTUDIOS
If we've learned anything watching movies for 3 decades, it's that no one had it harder in the late 90's than any character Jennifer Connolly was playing. In the shocking conclusion to her "Standing on a Pier" trilogy, House of Sand and Fog, she is fighting for her family home and her dignity against Ben Kingsley in the best performance of his life. We discuss the nature of parasitic bureaucracy, how it turns people against each other, the cultural misunderstandings that find us at each others throats, and the role human power plays in exacerbating those situations. And as a bonus, we talk about how much Crash sucks.Enjoy, like, subscribe, comment, ENGAGE.
