You have articulated my concerns about the show, as a long time book fan -Thank you.
As a book lover, I could literally only stomach the first episode. Noped the hell out after watching it.
The actual true story of the Littlehampton Letters is a real life cracking story, and would of made a great movie, but the film makers decided to make it racially diverse and they decided to make Rose an unmarried mother, who lied about having a husband die in the war. In real life Rose was married to a white English man, (black live in lover in the film) and the child she looked after was her sisters. PC Gladys Moss was also white and English, but they made her Indian, the judge was black and so was the postmistress, its highly unlikely this would of been the case in real life. They decided to make the Irish Rose common and vulgar, in one scene she pulled up her dress and exposed her ass to the police, in 1920's England, this on its own would of carried a prison term! The whole debacle on it own would of made a great film, I dont know why they decided to veer so far off what actually happened! Had this been set in 2024, England is indeed very racially diverse, but it was the 1920's, when England would of been over 99% white.
I decided to watch Wicked Little Letters following your recommendation so imagine my surprise that not only did it take place in my home town of Littlehampton but also in Western Road where I lived for fve years 🙂
@@crippsuniverse Did you like it?
@@amys0482 I did. Great character actors but learning about the history of my home town and recognising places added more than I usually get from a film
Wokeness or progressivism generalizes about people, especially critical theory. Critical theory says: If a group is overrepresented, the system is privileging this group. But leftist usually dont belive in it if the own group is overrepresented. You cannot see based on these factors if there is discrimination. Critical theory was always used against successful groups like Jews. The racists of the past thought Jews are evil, because Jews are so successful and overrepresented and they believed there must be a system and there must be intitutions that benefits them. Therefore they used words like Jewish Science, Jewish media etc. You always have different success of different groups, that has nothing to do with discrimination or you cannot see if there is discrimination based on these data sets. I would rather guess the discrimination was the other way around that the system discriminated Jews.
@@AdamWeisshaupt Are you talking about critical race theory? This is wildly off topic but it definitely doesn't do that. Have you actually taken a course?
@@amys0482 Yes its off topic. I answered before I finished the video. I thought that is about wokeness again and how it is the superior ideology and nothing is bad about it although it is a negative ideology that created separation since centuries. Sorry for the offtopic. I did not take a course. Such courses do not exist in my country, I dont llive in the USA. But of course wokeness and especially critical theory definitely does exactly that. It creates hate and is based on generalization. That is why Americans are never woke on a country basis. That would mean they are the most discriminating people worldwide and nobody woke want to be an oppressor or discriminating bigot. But that is what they are according to this ideology. You are systemically discriminating the rest of the world, That is also why nobody takes these people seriously because they are not honest people.
@@AdamWeisshaupt I do not think that is true. This perspective sounds like the propaganda I hear decrying critical race theory. It does not sound educated on the actual course syllabus of these classes, which is to teach about the history of racism through a critical lens. You could apply the same rubric to gender studies with the same pearl clutching, but it's just education on history with critical analysis. The division comes from oppositional groups who oppose educating voters on these topics.
@@amys0482 Critical theory was formulated in Germany to find a comprmise between capitalism and Communism (that is written in wikipedia). In the times of the black death, crical theory (at that time it did not have a name) they used it against the Jews. Afterward the same theory was also used (I think by the Guardian) to explain systemic racism against black people. I use the example to show the flaws of the theory. One group, the black people, died more and one group, the Jewish people, died less. So the Guardian said it was systemic racism that more black people died but that also means it was systemic racism that less Jews died. And this kind of thinking was responsible that people thought Jews control the world. You cannot see the discrimination based on representation. The cause of death does not say anything on this regard. And this flaw is the basis for the hate of woke people. They use theories that say nothing about discrimination but just assume discrimiantion. We had a lot of people that voted Merkel because she is a women. That is definitely sexism. But these woke people claim you cannot be sexist as a women or are only outraged on one side and that is what these theories are supporting.
I haven't seen the movie, but you're talking about progressive (which is good), not woke (short of performative woke)
I have just watched 4 videos about Kamala Harris made by conservative people. Their bias is very evident ofc but in calling Kamala Harris a DEI pick there is no bias, they just show democrats listing the things that make Kamala a good choice. Female and PoC. This was a nice channel until the political BS.
@@mihaiserafim Everybody has biases. Calling anyone "a DEI" shows a profoundly ignornant bias that in the person making that critique and nothing whatsoever about the qualifications of the candidate in question.
@@amys0482 Exactly! I don't see any.qualificafion and a bunch of people that say that being black and woman are the qualifications.
@@octomancer I am just saying what they ( the democrats) are saying. Her origins are mentioned by the other side. This is my experience so far.
@@amys0482it was literally Joe Biden who called her a DEI hire during a speech. He touted the strengths Of DEI and said it starts at the top, with his vice president. But I don't buy it. Listen to her talking about "the passage of time" and "being unburdened" and you'll see how smart she really is......
Loved it! Thanks for the recommendation. 😊
Perfect!
Sentenced to hard labor for living freely does sound like ol' England. And, sadly, a bunch of places in the current day States.
#GirlBoss! Covid what?? I’ll saveeeee youuu! 😀
So inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
One suggestion, if you have mental health issues, do not follow politics. Everyone lies, even sources you should be able to trust, especially when Trump is involved. From outside in, you have terrible choices in the US. Not going to comment further on US politics as they are way too divisive. People are people and I trust that the US will get through the next 4 years regardless who the president is.
@@Andre-xl2oe Autism is a disability, not a mental health issue. Childhood emotional neglect is childhood trauma which explains some things, but I have been treated for it. I wouldn't say I have ongoing mental health challeges that would preclude me from following politics. I am quite encouraged by Kamala Harris. She has had an amazing first week and is even in the polls with room to climb.
Thank you for sharing🙏🏾
Only 37% of US viewers finished the show
Come on Amy. One thing I didn’t agree with your opinion is Joe Biden was kind. His domestic policies are good but his foreign policy is disastrous. His entire administration are liars and enablers. But , Kamala is the only sane choice compared to Trump.
So you dont want to watch it but you are going to so you can critique it. So are you just a click hunter. Lol do you like the peter jackson trilogy?
@@SmiloRen I don't think watching something to review it is the same as click hunting. I like Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy, but not the hobbit movies. The books have some things the movies don't and visa versa. I like some of the changes made but not all of them.
@@amys0482 no its click hunting if your gonna just trash it because you dont like it like the rest of the hater brigade
@@SmiloRen I don't know if I will hate it or what I will say about it before I watch it
@@amys0482 well thats fair
I agree with your opinions and concerns in this video 100%. For the record I’m a formally mostly Republican leaning Independent who voted for Trump in 2016 and then course corrected by voting Biden/Harris in 2020. I have never been overly enthusiastic for Harris though and pretty much planned on voting for Biden or whoever was the Democratic candidate (even if they were the President’s mailman, mechanic or favorite pet….looking at you, Commander…😉). Over the last few days however……..Vice President Harris has really stepped up and impressed me and inspired me. I can see that she won’t just be a better choice than Trumpie could ever hope to be……. She will be an incredible President of the United States in her own right. 🇺🇸👍🏻😉
Love this. Thank you.
Your stream of consciousness is like an article you’re writing in real time. You are so poignant with your thoughts. I couldn’t agree more with everything you said.
@@Rezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I sometimes wish people could see the compositions inside my head. Billions of words in fully formed sentences. I didn't know this was unusual.
I appreciate hearing your voice and opinion and I agree with basically all of it, though I hadn't been a fan of Kamala Harris before. I had read something negative about her time as attorney in California that had bad impact on single moms, something to do with schools and how they require kids to be there, and that Harris's response to criticism on this was very dismissive and her office tried to deny it for a long time before finally admitting and trying to repair it and doing the apology tour. At least that was my understanding, maybe I didn't get that right, but at the time, I think it was when Biden got the nomination originally, and there's issues on his track record too, but ultimately I was like.. yknow, of course they are a bazillion times better than the republicans.. they are still institutionalists, capitalist people who believe in hierarchy instead of who's really best for the job.. I think thats a mistake. She may be pretty good but the fact she got VP doesn't equate automatically to she's got what it takes to be president. Also, its not just about if she's a good president in general, which sure she might be, but in these specific times, is she the right person to fight the extreme right? I'm not sure... but, I also haven't been up to date on a lot of things the past year- I had to take a complete step back from it all cuz my anxiety was making me unable to take care of daily life, and my two littles. so.. I want to believe in Kamala, I think I was being too harsh on her and that overall she is a great candidate. I just wish we had someone less corporate and that our politics overall were being handed down more to gen X and older millennials.
@@grump9001 Taking a step back to touch grass and be around loved ones is fair and fine. Take a look at that Badreads article if you don't mind forking over your email address (you can always unsubscribe) as you might find it relatable. The single moms thing you are referring to is the program Kamala launched early in her career that penalized parents when students were truant too much. The intent of the program is to keep kids in school and not allow parents to abuse their children by using them as surrogate babysitters or denying them education for other reasons. Studies show that kids who stay in school do better. The criticism came from people who argued it unfairly burdened poor families and single mothers and that using the justic system to solve community issues is an overreach. I actually like Kamala Harris more from this experience, not because it was a perfect program but because it was educational in how seemingly simple systemizations to improve things can have pitfalls. I personally think this explains why Harris is hard to pin down for her stance on things. She doesn't quip simple platitudes to complex problems. She is measured and contemplative. Also, the fact that she is on record for apologizing means she is not a narcissist. Narcs are pathologically incapable of admitting error, even over stupid things. Kamala is emotionally intelligent as well as educated and experienced. As for the extreme right, she is a prosecuting attorney going up against a convicted felon.
@@amys0482 all true for sure, I see your points and already knew them but yknow it helps to lay it out, good to know kamala's reaction wasn't that bad as claimed, I agree with that policy in general- I'm married to a teacher. Also i have a severe narc mom I'm learning to grow away from. So yeah totally see it, and whatever flaws she has are nothing compared to trump, i mean there IS no comparison. But that doesn't mean its not possible to criticise her or find flaw or want to support someone else. I know YOU weren't trying to say that, im just saying for in general. Like, she's an attorney, that doesn't mean she's automatically a good one. You might argue there's no way she'd get to the top of the profession without being good, and she's absolutely proficient, but there's lots of corruption in democrat party and like I said, that heirarchy thing and capitalism run rampant.. the class issue you bring up. You say things a lot better than I can lol. I feel the same wavelength as you. I hope we can get through this terrible time and come out with improvements.
Although I am no fan of Trump, I can respect your well thought-out opinions even if my own diverge from yours. During Trump's first term he at least had some sane actors around him acting as a check on his behavior (yes there were back actors too). This time around I don't know how many people will be willing to play that role, or if Trump will listen to them.
@@zamdrist I don't think listening is in his card deck, at least not to people who don't flatter and cajole first. Things were chaotic when he won last time. He didn't have a transitition plan in place. This time, others are taking care of that for him. In addition to advisors, Project 2025 includes a plan to terminate anyone in a government position that is not loyal to Trump and replace them with conservative loyalists regardless of education or experience.
Change from your usual videos but why not comment on the wider world if it feels personal to you! As a European economic leftie I often find the political discussions in the US to be theatre with both sides avoiding policy (we are almost as bad). I would point out that Woke and Diversity are not left-wing positions, not unless you believe that the most capitalist companies in the world like Black Rock, Goldman Sachs, Raytheon etc are all on the "left". All of the big corporates have adopted these policies with departments and board members dedicated to them. They do not lobby against them like they do tax and regulation policy. Where I would agree is that there is a class war happening, being carried out by the professional class (including the likes of Biden and Harris) on behalf of the donor class. The Trump vote includes the F U vote from parts of the working class who know nothing about Trump's policies (he doesn't really have any of his own) but know that it upsets the media / journalist class who talk down to them every day. There is a lot of research out there that shows that politicians do not care about the issues of the voters, they enact the policies of the donors. I am sorry to say that Kamala is as bad as any when it comes to lobby (bribe) money. Threat to democracy you say, you don't live in one! I do find it amusing that Trump who was a 40 year Democrat, a friend to the Clintons, encouraged to run by Hillary suddenly became the personification of all evil by the media. I agree with your take on his personality but have to wonder if the media had just let him have his McDonalds, patted him on the head and said everyone loves you and sent him out to play golf we could have avoided so much of this...
Have you ever endured a "diversity training" struggle session? It's blackmail worth many billions of dollars annually and has made plenty of con artists rich, but fortunately the madness seems to be ending, at least in companies not owned by left-wing billionaires. (Such creatures exist, you know.) People are sick of being told what they should feel guilty about, and why they should kowtow to others no better than themselves. ("Let the dead punish the dead." - H.G. Wells) I give you Rachel Maddow, otherwise known as "Racial" Maddow, who rants about America's "systemic racism" from her estate in a Massachusetts township which is 97% white and 2% Asian. 😂
People on the left keep confusing diversity with woke. Diversity is fine because it's organic - I give you shows like OZARK and HALSTON and THE DIPLOMAT. There are plenty of diverse characters in them, but those characters are never handled with kid gloves - those characters are never given a pass, and never clumsily and predictably elevated over heterosexual white men, simply by virtue of certain immutable features. This is called art. Whereas woke, which commits all of the above-mentioned crimes and more, isn't art. It's propaganda, and propaganda is the death of art.
@@waltergold3457 Diversity is fine but woke commits the above "crimes" and more? I work in the DEI space. I think you misunderstand it. DEI is not a zero sum game where unqualified people with immutable features are elevated above hetero white men. It is about shifting systems of prejudice that formally ONLY gave opportunity to hetero white men to allow equal access to marginalized groups.
@@amys0482 Crimes against art, yes - and as a worker in the DEI space, which I think largely a racket, you devise the divisive and counterproductive "struggle sessions" to which I referred in another comment? 🙂 I hardly need remark that when - like Amazon, creator of THE RINGS OF POWER - you create formal policy and checklists which demand the hiring and promotion of certain groups over other ones, based solely on things like race and sex, you've already built your house on sand, and are merely practicing racism and sexism in their modern manifestations.
@@waltergold3457 That's not what DEI is. I work in pay equity.
@@amys0482 Equal pay for equal work is only fair and, I think, the law of the land for nearly sixty years.
I found this video fascinating. Ordinarily I can't abide people on UA-cam talking about their personal issues - among other things, it often leaves the impression such people are experts in nothing but themselves - but you speak with clarity and authority. I zoned out only when you related your interaction with your mother during a holiday - otherwise, I was riveted as much as when, quite a while ago, I stumbled across a TV Guide article about Michael Landon's childhood. Are you familiar with Muriel the Purple Bookwyrm? She's also a brilliant critic on UA-cam, and autistic as well. She blocked me after we discussed abortion - hailing from Belgium, she believed the European media when it mendaciously claimed Roe v. Wade's overturn would criminalize abortion in America - and after I quoted the English Book of Common Prayer ("Marriage is a holy estate and therefore not one intended for the satiation of base carnality in the manner of the beasts, which have no understanding..."), but it didn't diminish my regard for her talent. PS: I've written some new songs during your extended absence, and I've been told that my SONG OF HIAWATHA is a little masterpiece, as hypnotic as a peyote ritual, and with a finale worthy of Broadway. (There are two versions on my channel - the one with the live voices is a little longer but features an incredible soprano solo. The singer flawlessly hits a note one full tone higher than the infamously high one in the national anthem.) PPS: The kittens are all grown up? 🙂
@@waltergold3457 The kittens are a year old! They get big fast. I am pro choice, but I grew up in the church under purity culture and remember what it was like to be pro life and indoctrinated in sexism, misogyny and homophobia. I am both sensitive to and extremely critical of Bible informed viewpoints on women's rights. I also think animals have quite a lot of understanding and take umbrage with any position that glorifies humans as the only thinking, feeling creatures. It is simply not true. I cannot write music and cannot critique it but it is lovely to hear you are exercising creative talent.
You’re the greatest “girl boss” ever! Be careful! Your book shelf looks like it will fall on you. I will saaavveee you! 😀
I pray Kamala Harris will be the Democrat nominee. Perhaps then some enterprising reporter - one not in the DNC's pockets - will ask her, the putative Border Czar who never visits the border, how she feels about several dozen illegal aliens baked to death in a van during a hot Texas summer. (Are you aware of that particular incident, Amy?) I attended President Trump's rally in the South Bronx, a few weeks ago, and it was beautiful. I sat in the park next to a large African family speaking a language of which I couldn't understand a word - just the sort of voters the Democrats are terrified will switch parties. (The South Bronx, as you may know, is only 5% white - the rest is two-thirds Hispanic and one-third black.) And as for Biden - he's no longer an issue, but I've heard, straight from the lips of a border-state governor, whom I met during a recent event in Manhattan, and who went to the White House to express his concerns about the border, that he - Biden - is utterly befuddled. He has only a vague grasp of issues and relies almost entirely on his handlers, who flank him protectively in the understandable dread he'll say something unusually stupid, as he did when he invited Russia to attack Ukraine. People are sick of your "woke" party, Amy. They've already voted against it, by not buying tickets to Hollywood's recent rubbish, all of it little more than DNC propaganda. Hopefully the same will hold true during the election, and hopefully social-media platforms like Twitter and UA-cam won't repeat their 2020 performance and inflame anew our dangerous division by censoring stories injurious to anyone but Trump. PS: Notwithstanding our political disagreements, it's great to see you back, Amy! 🙂 I've seen all of your recent videos and thought them remarkable. 💐
@@waltergold3457 You are welcome to express your views. I think Harris would agree that we need immigration reform and that no one should be dying in such a gruesome manner to get into this country. I am aware that Trump is attractive to many racial minorities. I still think Trump is racist and so are many of his voters. Both things can be true at once. The DNC does not run Hollywood. If you look at research, the data will show that social justice is simply popular. More Americans want diversity and equality than want to vilify or reject it in favor of hierarchy. It is for this reason that those who want hierachy have turned to fascism to get what they want. If they weren't losing, a hostile takeover wouldn't be necessary.
@@amys0482 Kamala's idea of "immigration reform" is to turn a blind eye to human, sex and fentanyl trafficking, with the cynical goal of turning Texas blue and America into a one-party nation, like Mexico for over a half-century. And the vast majority of those in charge of Hollywood, like the vast majority of those in charge of our hideous college campuses, are Democrats - Disney's Bob Iger, for one. And I'm pretty sure most people will sing the praises of "diversity and equality" when asked to do so by pollsters - the devil, of course, being in the details. And I think tossing around words like "fascism" and "insurrection" is hysterically premature. 🙂
You should probably just vote for Trump and free yourself of the emotional manipulation, narcissism and abuse of the Left. The Left lied to you for 4 years about the mental well being of Biden and thinks you are too stupid to see otherwise. As you can see by the copious hate from the Left regarding the failure of the assassin to hit his target, you can also see who is pushing the hate. The Left also is certainly not concerned about "wage inequality". They abandoned that ages ago and are now the Party of the elites.

Hello! Not an American citizen but I have a stake in this coming election. You said a bunch of things and my intention is not to argue against them but to challenge your views with another perspective. 1. Democrats are also a threat to democracy just look how they are attacking and canceling people that do not share their opinions. 2. All politicians lie but the democrats have lied so obviously and so much ...Inflation, border control, Biden 's mental health, all incredible lies. 3. DEI. After all that talk about DEI nothing you say will convince anyone that Kamala Harris will make a great President. 4. Democrats have their extremists also. And you won't like the America that they want. You say that Trump is a bad person and I agree but the alternative is also bad.

@@amys0482 From what I've heard, Dumb and Dumber were recommended as screenwriters to Amazon by Jar-Jar Abrams, with whom they worked on the Star Trek franchise - they're disciples of his "mystery box" nonsense.
If the sea is always "right", then does that mean... - morally righteous? - rhetorically correct? - politically conservative? or... - off to the side? So many questions.
@@Bonko78 I have no idea. It could be "don't turn your back on the ocean" or it could be something weird. I know why Haggard thinks the sea is always good in The Last Unicorn, as it is a major plot point. I have no idea what is being referenced in ROP.
@@amys0482 Well, joking aside, I would assume that your first conjecture may be the closest. These people seem to worship the sea almost as a deity and will accept it's harsh treatment as a form of judgment. But the choice of words makes their chant sound dumb rather than profound. You made many good points in this video and I like that you try to be objective, despite having a stated preference toward the "woke" stuff. I think the political aspects of this show create unnecessary disputes and baggage but it's indeed possible to look at the writing in isolation from that.
I predict Tom B will give the Stranger his hat and blue robe, turning the Stranger into the Blue Wizard. After that is confirmed, I am going to turn it off.
@@psazani I just recently saw that Tom is going to be in this. Wincing already
I noped out as soon as you called people fascists. You make yourself look ignorant when you use that sort of language. It's that sort of demonisation of people you disagree with politically and culturally that fuels the current division in society. It's funny how this culture war nonsense and political tribalism rots even the smartest peoples brains.
I think all our western democracies are in danger because of growing inequalities and environmental issues. Immigration will grow immensely (climate refugees), while our western countries may lose one fifth of their wealth up to 2050. It’s already quite a challenge for our societies but on top of that, part of the upper class is realizing their wealth and power will soon slip through their hands, and they cling to it more than they do to democracy. Politicians like Trump are useful pawns for people even more dangerous themselves. Here in Europe we have their exact counterparts and many voters don’t see them as dangerous even as those fascists proclaim on TV they would bypass the constitution once in power! In France where I live, we are slowly losing our liberties though the wanna-be dictators haven’t got to rule yet ! And it’s been so for many years already. Fascism is one slow cancer, it grows in hiding and that’s why our voters, European and Americans alike, refuse to see the danger as long as they’re not randomly brutalized by cops in the streets and their savings stay safe. To those who say US democracy survived after 2020, I would answer that democracy is like our body. Being still alive after severe illness doesn’t mean being in good shape. And then one other illness can push you over the cliff. Would democracy in the US survive 4 years more with Trump as president ? It might... the same way one veteran of Irak would, with lasting trauma. And the trauma will spread outside your borders, that’s why here in Europe people scrutinize your presidential election almost as much as they do for our own elections. Yet one thing gives me hope regarding America : your constitution seems almost sacred and harder to change or ignore than many others.
@@troupemusographes2460 We can hope the constitution saves us but I have my concerns given the state of the judicial system. Didn't France have an election recently that kept the fascists out of power?
There are no climate refugees. Only people trying to escape totalitarian governments. But good try, high schooler.
@@amys0482no, it was an election to keep traditionalist out of power. I know you commies view traditionalism as fascim. If you would like to know what fascism is, I encourage you to read the writings of gentile or mussolini who wrote extensively about them. No one in France wanted a dictator or an imperialist military force. Those are core tenants to fascism.
@@__thebadger Those damn commies and their unfair characterizations of us! How could those commies add such labels without any proof, it's so unfair!
Well, Amy, thank you in advance for watching it so I don't have to.
No end to the idiotic voters out there that echo the media narratives around democracy when the US System is in fact a constitutional republic and not a democracy. You cannot fix stupid.
I found it amusing that you opened the video with the sentiment that the ancient chinese curse has already come true: "May you live in interesting times!" Seems to me that voting in that two party system is ever more a devil's alternative. I do agree with all of what you said about the republican candidate, problem I find is that some of what the other side stands for is unacceptable as well. And so I'm not sure who really stands for the lesser of all the evils. Still, your video gave welcome insights. Even if I don't agree on all the issues mentioned, it was good to hear them.
Wait, what? It wasn't cancelled? But it was SOOOO bad... It was the Ring of Power in a television show format. Watching it is effectively like telling the universe that you want to be a slave. Why is there going to be a season 2? Oh, right, Amazon. I forgot, people with money can waste more than people without it.
@@Dam-a-fence they committed to five seasons!
The media has gaslit you into believing that Trump is a bigger threat to The US than the Deep State is, and that is wrong.
I liked Harris in her 2020 run but she was barely present as vize president from an european point of view. She seems underused.
@@Agantyr23 In the US too. This is "normal" for VPs but a strategic miss at Biden's age
I rarely get super indignant about stuff concerning money. But when I had finished watching season 1 of RoP, I could not stop myself from thinking, "Seriously? 1 billion god damn dollars for this? 1 billion dollars for 8 episodes of at best mediocre tv? How is this justified? How much good could be done with that much money? Some people are struggling to even save up 5 thousand dollars, and these people at Amazon spent 1 BILLION dollars on making something this bland and ridiculous?" What a letdown😅
