The Most Recent Movie You've Seen on Streaming, Broadcast TV, or Movie Theater?

For future reference? Try seeking out movie screenings with OPEN CAPTIONS listed with the movie title/movie time. They're like closed captions on TV but the dialogue and sound descriptors are on the bottom of the movie screen. I accidentally stumbled onto them a couple of years ago. They're coming more prevalent these days.

If they're not in your regional movie theaters? DEMAND THEM.

That's really good idea, I'll look into that. The audience was small that night and it was entirely a group of old folks, really old folks. They probably grew up listening to WWII stories from their parents (like I did) but I suspect most of them were born while the war was still going on.

Yeah, we old guys have that war etched into our minds. I remember it...the blackouts, the cars with the top half their headlights painted black, the occasional "air raid warning" sirens. My father with his white helmet was an air raid warden for our block. The savings bonds...the nickel and dime savings coupons, the rationing coupons. The star flags in windows showing someone from that house had died in Europe or Asia.

I especially remember the war ending...the VE day especially...but also VJ day. The bomb on Nagasaki was dropped on my birthday.

I remember the bomb crater in the woods.

The war had been over for 17 years when I was born but I still remember seeing bomb damage growing up as a kid in the 60s.

Keep the Change

It's about two people with autism played by people with actual autism. One of the best movies I've seen recently.

I think I was probably in my thirties before I realized how long rationing went on in England. I remember the American men coming home trying to get jobs. Our Milk Delivery Man had speech problems and a few other problems after being held prisoner by the North Koreans. (and YES I do know the difference between Korea and World War 11)

Earlier today, I attended my last living Aunt's funeral in Washington State. The day she was born in Baltimore, Hitler invaded Poland.....I doubt that gave them a sense of peace for the future. All the cousins, nephews and sons and neighbors signed up to serve, I don't think I'll ever forget the terrible stories I heard from the adult survivors

I know this has nothing to do with War Fare, it's just the verbal news parents and other relative tell you when they can think about it. (Nobody really wants to think about what happened, but we should never forget)

Bothmy late wife and I were told off by our mothers for wishing we could have another war.

They both said something like,"How could you want something like that," after both telling tales of what a great time they had during the war.

They made it sound such fun.
