On a recent movie
This is a bit frivolous. I just watched Wonder Woman 1984, which I think was originally released a few months ago. It was not as good or coherent as the fist Gal Gadot Wonder Woman movie about World War I but still interesting.
It is about the Cold War thematically, I think. I think the best line of the movie is when Diana as Wonder Woman says, “renounce your wish” to the main villain and adds, “I was talking to everyone because you are not the only one who has suffered.” The world averted a third global war in the last century, even though the Korean and Vietnam wars were bad. The issue with Arab countries since 9/11/2001 was different and hopefully over now.
The movie is a bit weird because her first male love from WWI in the first movie love comes back I think as a ghost. I think many people imagine first loves coming back. There is a pop song about this called “Go Insane” by Lindsey Buckingham, formerly of Fleetwood Mac.
