RainCaster's JournalA Good Person on Amazon Prime (no spoilers)
I watch this last night, and I wanted to write a review right away, I was so impressed by it. However, I also wanted to ponder a bit first, so here's my take on it now, after having a sleep on it.
First, I will watch anything with Morgan Freemen. I have never been steered wrong by his choice of scripts. This continues in this project. Morgan plays a quality role as a widowed grandfather raising a teenage granddaughter after the tragic loss of her parents. Other notables in this include Molly Shannon, who often plays quirky characters. She fits the bill in this, playing the frustrated mom of a young lady with some real problems.
This is a story about several families who are connected by a number of different social reasons. There are issues of chemical dependencies, tragic loss and the possibility of recovery. The characters are all of different races, and there are no racial dynamics here- that just isn't a factor in this story. The interactions are all based on normal relationships like dating, being married, having children, dependency issues, and the difficulties of being parents in today's world. There are lots of views on both sides about forgiveness and recovery. To me, it was a very realistic, quality view of the world that I have seen. Worth every bit of time from beginning to end. Two hours and 19 minutes in length.
The latest DU4 change isn't good
I have loved the DU4 changes since it all began in beta testing. But the latest change for mobile is no bueno. It looks like the idea is to stripe alternating posts with black/white backgrounds when in dark mode. I never use the light background, so I don't know how that one looks. The problem is that the alternating posts all come up as white lettering on a white background. I can see this on my phone, or on my desktop if I make my browser app narrow enough to go to the single column layout.
