[Alberta's Child]

Someone here on FR posted a link to an article he had written on a political subject, and I was surprised at how conservative it was. If I remember correctly, it was a scathing treatise on the sad state of the U.S. public education system.

I always thought he was a very underrated actor. The relatively unknown Let it Ride was one of the most underrated movies of all time, in my humble opinion.

He has always been a first class actor and when he commented on political issues, he was thoughtful and reasoned. I am surprised to here he seems to be tilting conservative, maybe he finally recognized the inconsistency and intellectual bankruptcy of the various forms of liberalism/ socialism.

I hadn't thought about Let It Ride in years, what a great and funny film.

If you haven’t seen “Moon over Parador”, I think it is one of his best films.

Have you ever seen Mr. Holland’s Opus? Great film, one of my faves.
He played a teacher.
The film makes a strong statement about decency and traditional values and the ways in which public education taught and reinforced those values —once upon a time.
I didn’t know Dreyfus took an interest in education in real life.
