follows the three narratives as the characters attempt to escape the
inevitable drama that is about to unfold when supernatural visions
ultimately clash with impending reality. Charlotte Rampling is currently

Not seen Hartnett do much recently?
ReplyDeletehe is in that PENNY DREADFUL horror epic show and has done a number of indie sf films similar to the one mentioned
DeleteI won't be watching it; I get too angry. That's it's based on a true story just makes me even angrier. just watching the trailer pisses me off. lol So it looks like Fishburne is Alex Haley? He's such a good actor.
ReplyDeleteit was a tough time in history
DeleteI get angry too. :( Tough and largely undiscussed.
Deleteas is anything else that does not suit our rulers
DeleteI almost didn't recognize Meyers. Valley of the Gods sounds interesting.
ReplyDeletedid you recognise him as an old man in the very end of the trailer?
DeleteNo. That's amazing makeup.
Deletetotally
DeleteRoots definitely has a star-studded cast. I think I would get very upset watching the cruelty of the slave owners against the slaves. Not an uplifting movie!
ReplyDeleteespecially since the hate and cruelty still exist everywhere around us
DeleteI don't know if I could watch Roots again. It was so heartwrenching and I wanted to kill ALL the white people. It's like Dustin Hoffman's Little Big Man. I can only watch it once.
ReplyDeleteValley of the Gods on the other hand, might be fun :)
lessons from history must be learned again since they never seem to be learnt, yes?
DeleteValley sounds good. Can't do Roots. I'm not exactly proud of our history.
ReplyDeleteHave the Happiest of Valentines, Dez dear.
Thanks, you too!
DeleteThe original "Roots" series packed such a wallop! Looking forward to the remake. I'm sure that, if anything, it will be even more unflinching in its presentation of the stories.
ReplyDeleteand it will use the wave of diversity talks in Hollywood as its marketing quite wisely
DeleteRoots is back in the consciousness. The other day, one student referred to another as Kunta Kinte. I wasn't sure if I was impressed or worried.
ReplyDeleteoh, my, hope the other student wasn't black :( I remember the name Kunta Kinte as a kid, as the original was obviously popular in my old country as well, but I never knew who it was before this remake.
DeleteRoots is definitely not an easy watch, but it's a story that needs to be told.
