Today is Gordon Jackson's 1 century birthday so I created music video. His gentleness and Dignity was special, and I also like his sacred voice...!
I've been so into him since I watched "The Great Escape." I really like Mac and Roger and I started checking their other plays daily.
Again, Happy Birthday and Thank him for his unforgettable works.
"The Great Escape"(1966)/ "The Foreman Went to France"(1942)/"Nine Men"(1943)/"Millions Like Us"(1943)/"Stop Press Girl"(1949)/"The Night of the Generals"(1967)/"Upstairs, Downstairs"(1971-1975)/"The Professionals"(1977-1983)
Quick rewrite of one of my favourite scenes in one of my favourite books. The Night of the Generals by Hans Hellmut Kirst.

Ren was admitted into Hux’s presence at once, though his greeting could hardly have been called cordial.
“Haven’t you anything better to do than get under my feet? Why aren’t you at your post?”
“I’m looking for a murderer.”
Hux shook his head reprovingly. “This is absurd. The First Order is in danger and you waste your time on trivialities. I don’t understand your attitude.”
“Last night,” said Ren, “an officer was brutally murdered aboard the Steadfast.”
“Lord Ren,” snapped Hux, “earlier today someone tried to murder the Supreme Leader. The scavenger and a clique of Resistance scum were at the bottom of it. That should be your sole concern at the moment. Do your duty accordingly.”
“I intend to do my duty,” replied Ren. “However, what concerns me is not an attempted murder but a murder which has actually taken place.”
“Why bother me with it?” Hux asked impatiently.
“Somebody must have committed this murder. The circle of potential suspects is small, and my investigations have narrowed it down further still.”
“So what?” said Hux. “At a time when the Order calls us you seem to be more interested in the fate of a lowly dead officer. Kindly don’t smirk at me, I forbid it! Get out of here!”
“Certainly, as soon as you’ve answered a few questions.”
“How dare you interrupt my work with your ridiculous flights of fancy?”
“Where were you last night between Zulu and Alpha shift?”
“That’s nothing to do with you. I don’t have to answer your questions.”
“A refusal to make a statement usually means only one thing, General.”
Hux drew himself up, his eyes glacial.
“Kylo Ren,” he said majestically, “at this very moment I am the embodiment of Snoke’s will. An attack on me is an attack on the First Order, and anyone who tries to hinder my work automatically stands revealed as an enemy of the Order. I would go further: anyone who tries to destroy me must necessarily be trying to destroy the sacred ideals that inspire our great movement.”
“You’re delusional,” said Ren in a choked voice.
“No, true! That is why I have no alternative but to arrest you, Ren. You will leave this room a prisoner. You have shown yourself to be an enemy of the people. In a state of emergency, there can only be one penalty for that.”
so the occurrence that almost every woman was sexually harrassed by a man at some point in her life is just a cluster of a few individual experiences that you cannot formulate any general conclusions based on BUT a few reddit porn addicted losers not having a girlfriend assigned to them as soon as they're born or being rejected by three girls in middle school is a world scale epidemic that gets its own name, psychologists and media and useless video essayists devoted to finding out what its causes are and to figuring out how to solve it, and every woman is now responsible for solving it. i love living in this world i am totally not chewing on my arm right now!
I just finished watching The Night of the Generals (because of Peter O’Toole and Omar Sharif) and I wasn’t aware that part of it was shot in Warsaw. Which is my hometown! It was strange seeing Peter O’Toole and Omar Sharif in places so familiar to me. Walking through these streets will never be the same again.
Also it was funny to see that not much in the Old Town has changed since 1960s.
And the movie itself was quite strange...
