“People have the Power”. I remember this song more and more these days! It really says it all now! I sing the lines of the song everytime I see Gaza or Sudan or Congo.
The thing that always struck me about The Third Man was how it may have been the first movie where at least a large part of the viewting audience wanted the villian, in this instance Harry Lime, to escape somehow, and even to maybe prevail, despite it having been shown to us that he was a genuinely evil man. Holly Martins, Lime's moral polar-opposite, comes across a no more than an altruistic rube. The film forces you to confront some difficult feelings. The weird this is that the older you get, the more you make a philosophical shift in opposite direction. Lime is a dashing figure for the young; Martins, for the old.
"There is much to think about these days, but it is also important to take care of ourselves, best we can." - thank you. It's the most important - yet most difficult - thing to do these days.
Democrats - you don’t have to cooperate, collaborate or enable the Trump Nazi MAGA regime. Don’t support their economy. The rich power brokers & corporations worship money. Don’t buy a new car. Don’t fly. Don’t buy any major appliances. Don’t spend any discretionary money only essentials.
Enjoyed your letter so much!!
I was taken away for a bit from this horror. So true that many going through a far worse horror. I need to keep remembering that.

I watched The Third Man again recently - still breathtakingly beautiful.
