A FILM TO WATCH IN A TIME OF ANTI-EVERYTHING.

I hate it when people say, "You've got to see this movie." But I think you have got to see this movie. It is essential now when we are ruled by a pseudo-dictator, a corrupt senate, and far too many Americans who have been programmed to hate and can just as easily be taught to love thy neighbor. The film is Gentlemen's Agreement and it is about anti-Semitism,but the theme could just be about racism, anti-Hispanic hatred, and the fear of aliens. Maybe you've never seen the film, of you saw it when it was first released in 1947. Or maybe, like me, you saw it tonight on TCM and feel as pumped up with patriotism and as depressed by Trumpism as I do. But I sure as hell would like to return to a time when upbeat, optimistic, and—yes—moralistic films like this were not rare, Rent it, buy it, watch it, show it to your children. Let's get this country on track again.
