in depth realism

Elena (2011 russian film) - az rvw by Victor: Excellent film, October 16, 2016 /v aptly summed, good rvwr:

-Victor: While some reviews argue about the slow pacing, I must have been in the right mood as each sequence of this movie had me eagerly anticipating what might be coming next.  The plot is straightforward, as we are looking at a woman whose son and grandson have career goals of looking in the refrigerator, playing video games, and waiting on her to provide them with extra cash. Naturally, her older husband, has quite an aversion to able bodied men who will not get up and work, and seem to expect a free ride from his wealth. The wife takes exception to the fact that her wealthy older husband, does not apply these standards to his own daughter, who also lives off of his wealth.  I did get a bad feeling things were going to take a turn down a much darker path as the film wore on, and there is not a good ending here.  The actors were really great in their realistic performances, and all of them are quite convincing.  The director presents an objective eye to the audience, and simply relays the plot without trying to sway viewers in one direction or another. In the end, it will be up to each viewer to decide who did the right or wrong thing, and ultimately each viewer will have a different opinion.  Such in depth realism I find sadly lacking in many of our American made dramas, and have to say this is really engaging drama at its finest.

// *in depth realism* .. well said th wh wife 'takes exceptn' to is that he d n 'apply same standards' to his daughter.  // int, she does seem less of a ~ louche ? no wh is the word? (and is it itslf classist?). we see son drinking, sitting around watching tv, being obnoxious to his wife ..  whereas we see daughter being insoucient .. does she only seem less offensive bcs more moneyed, all her life?  and in keeping w that more attractive, smarter.  so she seems to be living  without responsibility ~self-consciously ~ bcs of anger, lack of hope.  but isn't son also living his lazy way for same reasons?  just less self-conscious, and that bcs of cultural circumstance?

conservative says: at what cost?

What books should a conservative read to understand liberalism? - Quora:



The progressive impulse is to, for example, build a bridge; the conservative impulse is to question the cost, the impact, and why you would want to put a bridge somewhere where there never was one before. The progressive impulse is to embrace change that it hopes will lead to a better world; the conservative impulse is to question the change because just as often, man's progressive impulses have been shown to lead to at best something other than what he sought; at worst, they lead to a less desirable world than before.

So think of conservatives, properly understood, as people who are instinctively suspicious of change--and have plenty of good reasons to feel that way.

When these two impulses are in healthy balance, we collectively make better decisions.

Which leads me to why I can't be identified with conservatives any longer: for the most part in America they have been subsumed by the Religious Right and the Tea Partiers, neither one of which has any interest in what conservative has traditionally meant.
