The Good Place (2016-2020)
brah
The Good Place’s take on morality is so important to me. It never suggests that being good is easy or straightforward - quite the opposite - but it says, over and over again, that we need to try because we’re all people and we all matter.
Have you ever thought about how in the Fellowship of the Ring…
In the film’s prologue, Galadriel narrates the forging of the Great Rings. But there’s a really cool hidden message in how the shots are set up…
The shots of the elves only show them looking at their rings, nothing else…
The shots of the dwarves only show them looking at their rings, nothing else…
But when we get to the nine rings given to men “who above all else desire power”….the men don’t look at their rings. They look straight into the camera.
And while other shots are composed to make you look at the magic rings, everything in this shot is designed to make sure you look back into the eyes of the man in the center.
Why?
Because these men are looking at you, the audience: because you are one of them.
It’s a reminder that you are also a member of the race of men, and before you call The Nine weak-willed and evil you must remember that you are just as fallible and could be corrupted by power just as they were…that their flaws are only a dark reflection of your own flaws, and the flaws common to all of mankind
i really like when crows just insert themselves into a group of other birds and then act like there is absolutely nothing strange about it
nobody will suspect a thing

Daryl Davis is a Chicago blues musician, who uses his friendship with KKK to convince members to leave this organization. He successfully persuaded 25 former white supremacists that there’s another way. Davis has his own strategy, he explains and talks to people in more than friendly way, that allows to prevent usual misunderstanding.
‘They may be yelling and screaming or pounding the table, but at least they’re talking, they’re not fighting.’
Davis choose to disarm them with polite conversation and smile. And this worked out.
It doesn’t mean he’s anti-Black, he just chose his own path. No need to spread fake facts. This is very important!
#StayWoke
He dismantled every KKK group in his entire state by merely befriending the individual members.
Look how effective his method was compared to screeching at people and calling them buzzwords.
Parallels between Spaceballs and The Last Jedi.
I never made the connection!
