john leguizmo's history of latin America - education with  side of snark

the vietnam war mini series on Netflix

EXcellent series on Ruth Bader Ginsburg: RBG and then her biopic  shows how full on she was in her support of her husband/family and her education 'on the basis of sex'

thanks i'll watch that  iv recently taken an interest in reading about wars

Kingdom of heaven is a gd movie   its about the crusades   this longer version is much better than the shorter one

much of the crusades were actually about wealth, had little to do with religion and reclaiming the holy land,   it was about plundering wealth and thats what they did.

agreed , it was a recurring theme of whitey's spread through the world .  Collaterall was a good movie but I cannot stand tom cruise , it's complex really as one of my fave hollywood movies is the last samauri because of the japanese actor's portrayal of the chief of his village and samauri right hand of the emperor, the scene where his son's jooda gets cut off kills my heart everytime .

Another biopic miniseries which was interesting despite the actor (sacha Baron cohen) as 'the Spy ' shows how the 'jews' exploited the arab jews to get their boots on the ground inside Syria , he visits back home and you see how he is discriminated against by 'his own' in Israel

thats a great movie, you really feel for the samurai and how they want to keep their tradition, that scene of the guy getting his jooda cut off against his will is really sad.

It's REALLY long, you might have to break it up over 2 days - I did.

 

Same with Godfather 2, we just watched the first DVD (of 2) the other night, want to finish it off today.

yep it  was good but a little slower paced story

I think Scorsese was making up for accusations that he glorified Cosa Nostra violence in his previous movies with this one, plus (according to a recent interview I saw of his) he wanted to explore the effects of time or age on people living that lifestyle. I thought it was really good, especially the silent role of the daughter who quietly witnesses it all in disgust.  I don't know if Frank Sheeran was the one who actually killed Hoffa though.....a few people claim that or say differently.  

 

People like Frank are psychopaths/sociopaths, they could well lie and obfuscate right till the end - and love doing it. 

 

I'd love to read a book or see a movie from Peggy's perspective.

first film I ever watched of his was  a pirate videotape of scarface in our chemistry lab when the staff were not on duty, yep he did glorify the gangster life.

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
