movie ping
I read the novel, mostly. I found it near unreadable. I’ll try the movie when it comes around on prime.
Oops. The limited releases were in Cyrus and Switzerland, not Sweden. It’s easy to confuse all those “S-countries:” Sweden, Switzerland, Swaziland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa/Korea/Sudan ... it just goes on and on. Can’t keep ‘em all straight.
Being that it was a Hollywood movie about Hollywood, I was very pleasantly surprised to see how the communists were depicted in the Coen brothers’ movie, Hail Caeser. And George Clooney’s character, a movie star who bought into the communist propaganda, was portrayed as an idiot. Good fun.
