A Grieving Process in Between New Love:“Rebecca” Film Review
o   Before watching the film, I’ve overheard that it was based on classic European literature. Side note: Over what I’ve witnessed so far, Netflix has been doing pretty great when it comes to putting out films that have originated from novels (“The Kissing Booth” series, “To All the Boys” series, “Altered Carbon,” and so forth). Entering the new life as a wealthy newlywed, a young woman faces clues as she continues to discover who her husband’s late partner was.The film was pretty good; it shows both an elegant and a melancholy atmosphere, during so.
·       What did I like about it?
o   Casting choice: I enjoy how the cast was set up with Armie Hammer and Lily James playing the newlyweds. Them, along with Kristin Scott Thomas as the leading head of the manor.
o   Production value: Strives towards elegance while being poetic and sombre overtones. The lighting struck pretty well, especially in some of the scenes.
o   Editing: How the film was edited is one of the highlights of this film. One of the best scenes from this film was the dream sequences that our protagonist has. The way how it was made was gracefully eery.
·       What didn’t I like about it?
o   During the film, we haven’t taken some time to confront Maxim’s dismissive behavior or at least have the current wife take some recognition that he’s not doing so well in the relationship.
Who would I recommend this to?
College students; partly because as their going into the semester they’re going to go through an Aplengeist of grade maintenance; so this is a good film for those that are in deep stress.
o   “Rebecca” is a fine work that is both relaxing and both chilling for viewers. I give this movie a 6.9/ 10

Jack Lowden: ‘Acting is embarrassment’
Because Jack Lowden is a tall, talented, nice-looking, Olivier award-winning actor with a growing body of acclaimed screen work behind him, a celebrity girlfriend – he is going out with the four-time Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan – and a strong Scots Borders accent, there is an instinct to look him up and down and assume he is not someone particularly burdened by self-doubt. There is an instinct to assume he is one of those restless young alphas you sometimes encounter in acting who seem to have the entire world in their crosshairs. There is an instinct, perhaps, to assume even more. “I met someone recently and he was like, ‘I thought you were going to be a complete c***,’ ” he says, frowning. “And I said, ‘OK, I can see why. But at least give me a chance.’ ” So, let’s give him a chance. We meet for lunch in a north London gastropub – two pints and a plate of risotto each – because he is, ostensibly, promoting Benediction, a Siegfried Sassoon biopic in which the 31-year-old plays the poet. It is an excellent, achingly sad film in which Lowden’s Sassoon quietly absorbs trauma after trauma: the carnage of the Western Front; the deaths of his brother and of his friend Wilfred Owen; a series of painful and acrimonious romantic relationships with other men followed by a lustless lavender marriage; a gradual decline into loneliness and critical obscurity. And through it all, Lowden delivers the kind of subtle, slow-burning performance that wins awards and sends careers stratospheric. He really is very good. But Lowden isn’t sure. In fact, one thing that quickly becomes apparent in his company is that he has as much professional self-doubt as anybody. Possibly a bit more. “I’m very hard on myself,” he says, and describes how he struggles badly when forced to watch his performances back. “You do all that work. And you think that you’ve really researched this person. And then you watch it and you just think, ‘F***! That’s just me!’ ” he says, drawing out the “meeeee”, fingertips pressing into his cheeks. “That’s just me in a costume. And someone’s calling me Dave or John or Steve.” This is not wink-wink self-deprecation. Nor is he being self-pitying: Lowden – who also currently stars alongside Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas in the Apple TV+ series Slow Horses – is thoughtful, funny and self-aware. But perhaps, if anything, he is too self-aware. Because something about acting – standing in front of a camera and pretending to be Dave or John or Steve – seems to really embarrass him. “Just severe embarrassment,” he says. The fact that he is almost always required to ditch his own accent and perform in another voice only adds to his discomfort and the uneasy sense of confection. He is not the sort of actor forever primed to drop a few apposite Shakespeare verses into conversation. “The idea of me doing a monologue to you right now? I couldn’t think of anything worse.” Plus, he continues, the inherently subjective nature of performance makes it very hard to know, for sure, if what he’s delivering is genuinely any good. “My younger brother has just been made principal dancer with the Royal Swedish Ballet,” he explains. “And what he does is so black and white. You can either jump high or not.” But unlike ballet dancers or athletes, when it comes to acting, it feels as though effort does not always equal results. “It’s never satisfying for you,” he says. He sips his beer. He wonders, long-term, if he might end up doing something else. “I really want to get rid of that feeling. But I don’t know how.” So, what’s going on? How do you end up having such an uncertain relationship with the very thing you do for a living? Lowden was, he says, a “very, very, very shy child”. He and his brother were both born in Chelmsford, where his parents had relocated in order to access IVF treatment, but grew up in the small village of Oxton after his family returned to Scotland. During his childhood, he developed an intense devotion to a number of classic British sitcoms – Only Fools and Horses, Open All Hours, Porridge – and would watch them obsessively. “It was like a comfort blanket.” He would even take his collection of DVDs on holiday, so as not to be parted from them, and would hate it whenever he’d see behind-the-scenes footage of, say, Only Fools, in which the Trotters’ Peckham flat was revealed to be a film set with a studio audience. “I didn’t want to know that it wasn’t real,” he says. “Everything in those programmes just had a lovely air to it. Everything seemed quite innocent. Nobody seemed bored. There was no boredom at all. And I just wanted to live in them.” He would tag along to his brother’s ballet classes and have a bash himself. “But I was shite at dance and was encouraged, very quickly, to do the narrating.” The sensation of being on stage, however, was something he soon came to love. And with the encouragement of his parents and a particularly supportive music teacher at the local state secondary school he attended, Lowden found himself entering the world of amateur operatics in the Scottish Borders. He became, in fact, a fixture at the Galashiels Amateur Operatic Society. This sounds twee, almost comic. But he shakes his head. “It’s a big thing. It’s huge. In the Borders, it’s like life and death,” he says levelly. “There are like eight or nine societies. People who have been in their society for 50 years get their 50-year medal. They take it f***ing seriously. More seriously than in the profession.” He was swept along by the intensity and energy of this tight but passionate rural arts circuit. Four of his best mates did it with him. “It was like a rite of passage. And none of them are actors now. But they loved it, running about and acting in musicals.” The way he describes it, there was something almost transcendental about it. “You’d be in Guys and Dolls performing next to a fireman or a teacher or whatever. Just seeing these people light up on a Tuesday night was amazing.” After doing his A-levels, Lowden studied acting at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and, in 2010-11, played the lead role in the National Theatre of Scotland’s production of Black Watch. This play, which details the experiences of soldiers from the Scottish regiment in Iraq, toured the UK and the United States. “We didn’t play theatres. We played arenas. You felt like a rock star,” he says, without bravado. More stage credits came, and he won his Olivier for Best Supporting Actor in a 2014 production of Ibsen’s Ghosts. But by the time he reached his mid-twenties he thought, “I’d better do some screen.” He didn’t struggle for roles – he appeared in the BBC’s adaptation of War & Peace, Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk and played a young Morrissey in the singer’s biopic England Is Mine – but he struggled with the change of pace. “The pedestrian element of film sets kicks in. Because film is much more technical and takes much longer. The buzz is not there.” On some level, I think he’s still struggling with the fact that very little in his career so far has been quite as exciting – or quite as profound – as his teenage nights under the lights at the Galashiels Amateur Operatic Society. Knowing that you’ve smashed a song and dance number in front of a packed village hall is more cathartic than doing take 23 of a few lines of dialogue to a camera on a silent set. For a long time, whenever he would get drunk, Lowden would force his mates to watch old Gene Kelly or Bob Fosse dance routines on YouTube. “I’m a music hall actor,” he says, “in this very technical profession.” Still, it’s not all bad. If he hadn’t got into film then he’d never have met his girlfriend. In 2018, Lowden appeared in Mary Queen of Scots opposite Saoirse Ronan, now 28. He was playing Lord Darnley, an English nobleman who marries the Scottish queen. It sounds quite a romantic backdrop against which to meet and then fall in love with your other half. Until, that is, you watch the film and realise that the relationship between the two was violent and abusive. There is a particularly unpleasant sex scene, the preparation for which saw Lowden and Ronan – not yet a real-life couple – throw some ideas around. “It’s this scene where she tries to get him to basically impregnate her. And we were like, what if you started hitting me? That was back when I’d first met her, so I went, ‘Yeah, hit me as hard as you want,’ ” he says, fixing me with his eyes and dropping his voice half an octave. So Ronan hit him – “F***ing bang!” – and when he returned to his trailer, he discovered he had a gigantic blood bruise across his chest and shoulders: “I couldn’t move.” The following day, she asked if he was OK, to which he could only manage a noncommittal, high-pitched noise. He chuckles. “It was a strange way to meet.” Workplace romances are excruciating, I say. Too much like being back at school. Lowden disagrees. “But that’s what makes it fun.” He and Ronan now divide their time between London, Scotland, the US and wherever their jobs take them. “I was up in Orkney recently, on a recce for a film that I’m going to do with Saoirse,” he says. “And I was just in Australia, actually, where she’s shooting something.” Aside from all her industry experience, which is helpful, he says that he sometimes asks her to help him do the audition “self-tapes” he is often required to produce when up for a part. He will stand in front of a digital camera, delivering his lines, and she will stand off-screen, reading all the other parts. “She’s one of the best actors in the world and she’ll be giving twice the performance that I’m giving on camera. It’s hilarious.” Last year, ahead of England and Scotland’s Euro 2020 fixture, Lowden and Ronan posted a short, homemade video online in which the pair of them recreated a pre-battle scene from Braveheart: “I felt it was something that needed to be done to mark the occasion.” Lowden is a supporter of Scottish independence. He had been living in Leith prior to getting a part in Slow Horses, which required him to relocate to London two years back. “But I want to move back as soon as I can.” It winds him up when English people, like me, tell him that they always want Scotland to do well in their sporting fixtures. “Like, you don’t have to say that,” he says, shrugging indifferently. “Want us to lose. Whatever. We don’t care.” Recently, he was at Murrayfield watching Scotland host England in the Six Nations, and he was reprimanded by a fellow Scot for booing God Save the Queen. “He turned around and went, ‘Come on, man.’ And I said, ‘No! This is the problem! It’s got to be difficult for them to come here. We’ve got to create an atmosphere. What’s the point in being polite?’ ” A little later he revisits the subject, a little gingerly, just to clarify that he was talking about anthem-booing in a purely sporting context and that he genuinely doesn’t want to upset anybody. He has friends from south of the border, he says, who can dish it out every bit as much as he can. “Two of my best mates are English, and we always go and watch rugby together. And you’ve got to have a sense of humour around that.” One thing he genuinely does seem to enjoy about his job is hanging out with actors. “They are great people to have around a dinner table. Great people to talk to. They’re very trusting, very quickly, great people to confide in. If you ever have difficulty opening up, find an actor. You’re not going to shock an actor. Well, you’re not going to shock a British actor.” For someone like Lowden, who is naturally shy, you can see the appeal. For a while, in his mid-twenties, he says that he made a concerted effort to be more outgoing. “I looked around and thought, ‘The world wants a gobby person. I’ve got to have a bit of oomph about me,’ ” he says. “So I sort of tried that on for a bit. Like a coat. And it went fine. I wasn’t an arsehole. But it felt like I was having to put a lot of effort into it.” Now he’s back to being quiet, which suits him better and is probably for the best. “Particularly in a work environment. The people you want to work with again aren’t necessarily the loudest in the room.” He’s turned down big money for parts he didn’t fancy. His dad, who works for the Bank of Scotland, never understands. “He says, ‘Why would you do that?’ But I’ve never regretted it.” His social media channels are not exactly the slick shop windows of many other young actors, and his passion for railways and service stations is instantly discernible. “I’m a massive fan of service stations. Wetherby on the A1…” he says dreamily, before finishing his second pint. He is not aware of any intense online fandom, although there is a small but committed group of Jack Lowden superfans who will come and watch him perform on stage. “There’s about five of them, lovely lasses, mainly from England. They came 25 times when I did Measure for Measure at the Donmar. It was like, wow, you must be minted.” He has no concrete professional goals or ambitions. “There isn’t anything where I’m like, I absolutely have to play that,” he says, before gathering his stuff together to leave and catch a train to Scotland. “I just want to play a role where I feel, ‘Wow, you really f***ing pushed yourself.’ Because only I know when I’ve really pushed myself. Because sometimes I think I have done, but then I get home at night and think… ‘Nah, you really didn’t. You just sort of did that thing you always do.’ ” He smiles and sighs. Oh well. It’s hard not to hope that he finds what he’s after. In the meantime, though, we can’t complain. That thing he always does is great. Better than most. Fingers crossed, he’ll see that soon.

Going back to the Roman Polanski petition and the Epstein files, just the ones I’ve seen so far, it’s so incredibly disheartening seeing how many entertainers and people I generally held in positive regard are on these lists. There is, of course, the chance they didn’t know anything and were just shuttled around as being famous rich people, but...man. They’re on the same list as people we know are cretins, so there’s no way of actually knowing who is and isn’t good. It’s like trying to tell which porn is and isn’t consensual, you just can’t.
anyway here’s a list so far of all the elites named in the epstein files, or who supported roman polanski’s relase after he was arrested for raping a teenage girl:
