"Assassination is the extreme form of censorship."
~ George Bernard Shaw
There is a new Netflix movie that I want to discuss, but I have to wait until I know what I want to say about it, or think about it.
One thing about Netflix, and I guess I've said this before -- they are like, "No censorship, so that means we can say or show whatever we want to."
And then my question becomes, "But why do you want to show -- that ??!"
(I'm telling you, if I watch one more series or movie on Netflix and have to see somebody throw up, I'm writin' a letter....)
I'm against censorship, too -- but that doesn't mean we can't refrain from saying or showing ugly or gross stuff.
You can tell a story without shock value.
Some people like "Sons of Anarchy." After hearing its action described to me, I think, "What would fans of that show think of "Dr. Foster" (from the BBC, but it's on Netflix) -- I got all consumed in the drama of that, but -- there are no eyes being gouged out...
Sometimes the characters look sad or deeply worried or suspicious, and sometimes they get into a Lexus (Lexuses-? Lexii-?) and drive away rather quickly.
Oooooooohh...
