    We went to see this last night and certainly felt enlightened/amazed by it (like Oppenheimer last year) as it’s more an education than entertainment.

    Winton was an incredible man and his belief to get this Herculean deed done (with the input of so many like minded people) is as remarkable as the matter that it’s taken 35 years since the story came to light for it to become a film.

    To hear that for every child a £50 (equivalent to what was then roughly 3 or 4 months pay) security was required to be paid in advance to the government by the fostering parents was shocking. That the vast majority came from public donations and all in a matter of weeks/months was remarkable.

    I came away with a reinforced sense that society today needs to take a step back. These were the golden generation and whilst everything is now more advanced (health, welfare, education, etc) than it was, we are all to a lesser or greater degree morally poorer than we were.

    Ferrari.
    Loved it apart from the CGI car crashes…! Brilliant film IMO.
    The reviews on some of the sites have not been great but I really got into it and could see the story evolve in difficult times for the family.

    Sounds like a good film for two reasons then, @stollydriver. It's a super kick bum film. And Jason Statham's bum is in it! ;):heart_eyes:

    Saw this the other night, it's very good indeed, and as an added bonus it's got Michelle Keegan in it too. Worth watching just for her.

    Watched "Dark Shadows" ... again. I love that movie. "where off route nine?" heh

    Stupid politics aside, Johnny Depp is a great actor.

    We're watching "Black Sails". It's not new (I believe it first came out in 2014) and Steve watched it on his own several years back. But he'd always told me he thought I'd like it and he was certainly right. I'm addicted! But we've only a few episodes left and I'll be sad to see the end of the series.

    I have just watched Warrior too, really enjoyed it. It’s from the writings of Bruce Lee.

    We just finished watching the series “The Gentlemen” on Netflix. Loved it. We’re also watching “Shogun” and enjoying it immensely. But it’s like the “old days” where you had to watch a TV show week to week. Well, I guess it built patience. ;)
