Mr. Bates vs The Post Office (2024)
One of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history where hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters and postmistresses were wrongly accused of theft, fraud and false accounting due to a defective IT system.
This show is all based on a true story and it will make your blood boil and make you very angry at the injustice. This is still ongoing and you will not believe how long it has taken for the innocent postmasters and postmistresses to get this level of coverage. A must watch. If you are not in Britain, it will still be worth watching if you read up a little bit on the 'Horizon Post Office Scandal'. It really is just so wrong what has happened.

I have never been more angry at a woman, person or company as I am at Paula Vennels and The Post Office.
The amount of people who will never get justice from the lies and sentences pushed by the Post Office.
This happened during my lifetime, my 10th birthday being a date directly referenced in the series. And I had no clue this travesty of justice was happening.
Great acting by all in this series omg - so so good.
Toby Jones was incredible. All the actors were. The friendship between Alan and Jo was so well done.
Oh, and the events depicted are still ongoing - Justice for the SubPostmasters.

THE CROWN 2016
To do nothing is the hardest job of all. And it will take every ounce of energy that you have. To be impartial is not natural, not human. People will always want you to smile or agree or frown. And the minute you do, you will have declared a position. A point of view. And that is the one thing as sovereign that you are not entitled to do. The less you do, the less you say or agree or smile, the better.

Living (2022) - REVIEW
Tumblr media
SYNOPSIS
Mr. Williams (Bill Nighy), a veteran civil servant receives a medical diagnosis that inspires him to cram some fun into his remaining days. He meets a sunny young colleague (Aimee Lou Wood) who seems to have the love for life that had previously escaped him.
youtube
There are some films like this that you might enjoy while you're watching them but often find yourself forgetting about them a short time later. Living has too much going for it to be just forgettable; the period design of post-war 1950's Britain looks stunning, the score by Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch elevates it further and all that's before we take into consideration the central performance by Bill Nighy. Nighy, much like the film as a whole, is incredibly understated and subtle but the emotion is clear to see. Nothing about it is melodramatic or over the top but neither is it a bleak affair. There's a lot here that's both funny (the British bureaucracy) and moving at the same time. It's a remarkable look at what it means to be alive and it resonates strongly particularly in moments when Mr. Williams ponders where time went and how we become the things we become. He's aided by a strong cast with Aimee Lou Wood and Alex Sharp being particular shout outs. But director Oliver Hermanus deserves the bulk of the credit for crafting this understated but incredibly stylish film that hits all the right notes to be something special. Classical in its execution but its themes are universal.
Tumblr media
VERDICT
Surprisingly uplifting rather than bleak with a classical approach to the filmmaking. Carried by Bill Nighy, Living is stylish and moving examination of what it means to be alive without ever feeling manipulative.
4/5

Living (2022, dir. Oliver Hermanus) - review by Rookie-Critic
Tumblr media
I have found that, over the year since I started writing these reviews, good reviews for movies that I truly loved are generally harder to write than the bad ones. It's easy to write about and articulate what I thought was wrong or could have been done better, but how do I write a full, well-articulated review of something I loved without just gushing about how good it was? There's only so many ways to say "The acting was good, the writing was good, etc., etc., and on, and on." So when I saw Living (2022, dir. Oliver Hermanus), I was walking back to my car thinking "Wow, that was truly fantastic. This review is gonna be rough." So what do I say, what reasons do I give, for loving Living besides the usual suspects?
First, remaking any Akira Kurosawa film is almost inviting criticism, and Ikiru is one of the ones that I would almost have said just couldn't be done better. I won't say that Living is better, but it is about as close as anyone could have ever hoped to have gotten. The raw emotion that the camerawork evokes (in conjunction with Bill Nighy's masterful performance as Mr. Rodney Williams) is something to behold. It feels like a movie from the 50s/60s (helped in no small part by the film's opening scene, which mirrors the look and feel of a film from that era) and that helps the first section of the film convey the stuffiness of its central character. The movie doesn't really concern itself with Mr. Williams' past outside of passive reference to his late wife and brief flashbacks (I'm talking a few seconds at a time) to his childhood and young adulthood, because the film is trying to show this man, on the far edge of his life, not knowing truly how to do anything other than work (and maybe go to the cinema once a week). We need not concern ourselves with the past because the whole point of it is to show him learning how to live in the moment. Not to regret his past, but to really start living (eh?? ehhhh????) in the now, while he still can.
Speaking of the film's central character, let's talk about Bill Nighy. Anyone who watches a decent amount of movies will know Nighy's face at least, if maybe not his name (or maybe neither if all you've seen him in is the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, as he is hidden behind a bunch of CG'd tentacles in those films). He's one of those veteran actors that just knows what he's doing, full stop, and he carries the emotional weight of this film on his back with a spirit equal to Atlas carrying the world. The entire lifetime of regret behind the eyes of this character for a majority of the film is palpable and striking, digging straight into the empathetic core of the audience like few performances are able to do. Every time Nighy sings "The Rowan Tree" (or anytime the song plays at all in the film) I was just an instant mess of a person. It's wild how instant the tears seemed to be. One second I was perfectly fine, sitting in my theater chair, feeling bad for this character, but not really close to overwhelmingly emotional, but the second the notes started coming out of Nighy's mouth that was it. He distilled the feeling of lifelong remorse out into a single note, and then did it again with the next one, and again and again until the scene ended. It's one of the most brilliant pieces of acting I believe I've ever seen. I know I started this review off by saying I have a hard time pinpointing and articulating the bullet points of films I enjoy, but I could talk about Nighy's brilliant performance in Living all day long, and if this review comes across as just me gushing over Bill Nighy and nothing else, then maybe that's really all this film needed to be great, but I don't really believe that to be true. It may be too sappy for some, but I found it to have wonderful balance, and I recommend everyone give this one a try if you're able. It is, hands down, one of the most moving films of last year.
Score: 10/10
Currently only in theaters.

That's the thing about unhappiness. All it takes is for something worse to come along and you realise it was actually happiness after all.
