Bas, did you forget the link or am I having a problem with Safari. I get just a big blank space after the word Breathtaking.

Ok. I linked to a Facebook page with the video. I can see it and play it on my computer. I can try some other sources
I have linked a different You tube clip.


 
Watched a movie on Netflix "White Tiger".
Was a good watch actually. Set in India and shows the caste system in play but I think it reflects the broader worlds current situation between elites and plebs.
Sums up 2021 and the tide turning.
 
Just finished watching Auschwitz Untold: In colour. on Iview.

As powerful as it is, the ending and liberation stories go to another level.o_O

Auschwitz Untold: In Colour

A powerful account of one of the most hideous crimes in history told from the perspectives of 16 Holocaust survivors whose stories are made all the more real by the power of restored and colourised black and white archive.

A bit of inspiration and joy. The Juresalema song/dance has become as infectious as COVID.

Lot more fun through.:)

If you get fed up with low grade rubbish on TV/Net check out some "coyote on cat" action in the lounge room.

Just saw "For the love of Spock" on Netflix.
A special actor, a defining character in a series that has left it's mark on culture.

 
I've just finished watching 5 episodes of Series 1 of The Kominsky Method on Netflix. Very funny and fast witted like the Neil Simon plays/movies of the 60s and 70s (The Goodbye Girl, California Suite, the original The Odd Couple). Each episode is only 30 minutes, but will raise your mood for the evening. Very close to the bone for those of us on the wrong side of 60.

Yeah. Quite brilliant. Also offers some insights into acting skills. ( Kominsky teachs acting)

Just finished watching Series 3 of program and the characters that start out as old are getting pretty tired at the end. And yet they are us with all their honest ailments and history.

Series written by Chuck Lorre. Outstanding writer/producer

Outstanding program on Iview. Called Manhunt. It is the true story of the police work that resulted in the arrest and conviction of a multiple murderer and pedophile.

Great expose on dogged police work and insight into the mentality of some really evil people. The way he managed to intimidate and control his partner was also an eye opener.

Manhunt

Based on the true story that kept Britain on the edge their seats and defined a detective's career. DCI Colin Sutton is called to a brutal scene where a young woman's body is found, with no forensics, motive or witnesses.

Saw Adaption last night on IView (ABC)

The story was supposed to about the book The Orchid Thief. This book was an extension of a long piece in The New Yorker which examined a guy who stole rare ghost orchids in a Florida conservation park. Quite fascinating story in itself when it also examines the lengths to which orchid hunters have gone to find a new plant.

Anyway the script writer had writers block and ended up incorporating his struggles with writing the screenplay as integral parts of the story. In the end he also creates an outrageous finish.

Meryl Streep starred in the movie. Just fascinating.
