It was beautiful (Gangs of New York beautiful), rough and inspiring. Equally importantly, it functioned as a movie. It did not subordinate the story to the "message."

I went to a movie tonight. At a theatre. What a miracle. It's been maybe two years. Free Guy. Fun. Smart. Creative. And a perfect archetypal structure. Persona. Shadow. Anima. Self. In that order. Perfect.

Better Left Unsaid

The premise behind Better Left Unsaid, lies in the unconfined analysis of the often violent extremism of today's Western political landscape. As liberal democracy becomes increasingly challenged in the West, we expose the dangerous tactics employed by the radical-left and far-right, alike. In a world where political polarization frames the way in which we live, a new path forward of unity is needed more than ever before. The value of the film lies in its impact, brevity and digestibility - as we confront the philosophical underpinnings of the radical left and their extreme right counterpart.

The War on the West

SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER 'The most important book of the year' Daily Mail The brilliant and provocative new book from one of the world's foremost political writers 'The anti-Western revisionists have been out in force in recent years. It is high time that we revise them in turn...' In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it? It's become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy. In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world's most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray's status as one of the world's foremost political writers.

The climate book

I discorsi di Greta Thunberg hanno scosso il mondo. Con "The Climate Book", ha creato uno strumento essenziale per chiunque voglia contribuire a salvarlo. Sembra un'impresa impossibile: garantire un futuro sicuro alla vita sulla Terra, su una scala e a una velocità mai viste al mondo, al cospetto di forze enormi e potenti: non solo i magnati del petrolio e i governi, ma il sistema climatico stesso che cambia. Le probabilità giocano a nostro sfavore e non abbiamo più tempo. Ma non deve andare per forza così. In tutto il mondo, geofisici e matematici, oceanografi e meteorologi, ingegneri, economisti, psicologi e filosofi hanno usato le loro competenze per sviluppare una comprensione profonda delle crisi con cui siamo chiamati a misurarci. Greta Thunberg ha curato "The Climate Book" in collaborazione con oltre 100 di questi esperti in modo da fornire a tutti noi quel sapere. Insieme a loro, Greta condivide le sue personali storie di scoperta, dimostrazione e messa a nudo del greenwashing in tutto il mondo, rivelandoci fino a che punto siamo stati tenuti all'oscuro. Questo, ci dimostra, è uno dei nostri più grandi problemi, ma anche la nostra più grande fonte di speranza. Una volta che avremo il quadro completo, saremo in grado di agire; e se lo sciopero di una studentessa è stato capace di accendere una protesta globale, cosa potremmo fare collettivamente, se solo ci provassimo? "The Climate Book" ci dimostra che tutti noi abbiamo la responsabilità di vivere nel periodo più decisivo della storia dell'umanità e che, insieme, possiamo fare ciò che all'apparenza è impossibile. Ma dobbiamo farlo noi, e dobbiamo farlo ora.

The Boy Crisis

What is the boy crisis? It's a crisis of education. Worldwide, boys are 50 percent less likely than girls to meet basic proficiency in reading, math, and science. It's a crisis of mental health. ADHD is on the rise. And as boys become young men, their suicide rates go from equal to girls to six times that of young women. It's a crisis of fathering. Boys are growing up with less-involved fathers and are more likely to drop out of school, drink, do drugs, become delinquent, and end up in prison. It's a crisis of purpose. Boys' old sense of purpose—being a warrior, a leader, or a sole breadwinner—are fading. Many bright boys are experiencing a "purpose void," feeling alienated, withdrawn, and addicted to immediate gratification. So, what is The Boy Crisis? A comprehensive blueprint for what parents, teachers, and policymakers can do to help our sons become happier, healthier men, and fathers and leaders worthy of our respect.

The Case for Trump

This New York Times bestselling Trump biography from a major American intellectual explains how a renegade businessman became one of the most successful -- and necessary -- presidents of all time.In The Case for Trump, award-winning historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson explains how a celebrity businessman with no political or military experience triumphed over sixteen well-qualified Republican rivals, a Democrat with a quarter-billion-dollar war chest, and a hostile media and Washington establishment to become president of the United States -- and an extremely successful president.Trump alone saw a political opportunity in defending the working people of America's interior whom the coastal elite of both parties had come to scorn, Hanson argues. And Trump alone had the instincts and energy to pursue this opening to victory, dismantle a corrupt old order, and bring long-overdue policy changes at home and abroad. We could not survive a series of presidencies as volatile as Trump's. But after decades of drift, America needs the outsider Trump to do what normal politicians would not and could not do.

Everybody who wants to understand Trump, Democrat, Republican or foreigner, should read VDHanson. The Case for Trump. I think he nails it and there are plenty of lessons there.

Sons of Feminism

"Feminist leaders tell us that men are entitled and powerful. Janice Fiamengo actually asked men what it is like to be male in a feminist culture--and they responded. These 25 stories may surprise you with their accounts of men belittled, disliked, dismissed, blamed, falsely accused, and discriminated against under law--all while being expected to apologize for "male privilege."--Page 4 of cover.
