Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt (1989)

This story solidified my choices to consume a more plant-based diet and nearly made me cancel my subscriptions to big corporations like Amazon. The narrative was perfectly crafted and on par with Bong Joon-Ho’s other major works; Parasite and Snowpiercer.

Ben Affleck leads The Way Back, a seemingly cathartic film for him after the actor’s recent bouts with alcoholism and rehab. He plays Jack, a man fighting his own battles who happens upon coaching a boys’ basketball team, the same team he once played for back in high school.

The film reminds us to remember the people who had the courage and dignity that had made the world better, even when the memory was absent.

The one-way journey went to the desert that refused to offer an answer or a transcendence.

If the message here is that without a support system, grieving people turn into monsters, it’s not really well-delivered and may be flawed as a message itself.

Based on a true story, this sports movie is centered around a college football player.
