At the Movies

Several good movies are out at the moment. The Darkest Hour and Dunkirk are excellent movies that illustrate what heppens when a nation (Britain) substitutes wishful thinking for cold-eyed analysis of an implacable foe (Hitler). I would recommend seeing them in the order above  as they flow together historically that way.

Wonder is another very good movie that follows a family with a badly deformed, but otherwise normal child, who is trying to make the jump from home schooling to a regular classroom. Kids can be brutal but kindness wins in the end. That said, however, there are a lot of realistic moments in between that most of us can relate to either as children or parents.
