      It’s funny you know when a lawyer sits the bar they swear an oath to serve their clients without prejudice and to the best of their abilities. Yet when they honour this oath a small ignorant but vocal minority, with their assured self righteousness , judge this to be immoral.

    I had the privilege of attending a sold-out screening of this in Provincetown, MA. Directed by Ivy Meeropol, whose reputation as a filmmaker and storyteller has only continued to skyrocket since her 2004 award-winning film Heir To An Execution (a gut-wrenching and intimate account of the lives and deaths of her grandparents, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, both executed as spies in 1953) grabbed the world's attention and garnered praise for Ivy's capacity to explore something as personal and controversial as the execution of her own grandparents with the objectivity and curiosity one expects from serious journalism. It was fascinating to experience her latest film Bully. Coward. Victim. because not only has Meeropol once again helped us to examine a complex chapter in history, but she has reminded us that behind every character and at the core of every story, there is always a beating heart.

    • @dw999
      @dw999 3 года назад +5

      @@guarddog2253 That's a common misconception. Julius was a low-level spy, but he didn't provide any atom-bomb-related information; in addition, there was an enormous population of young, idealistic people who embraced communism in the 30s bc they saw it as a way of preventing fascism -- people didn't yet know about how awful Stalin was / how awful life was under him. Also, it's not surprising that communism (a closer-to-fair system, in theory) appealed to idealistic young people, and esp. to idealistic young people who were living through, and having their progress interrupted by (in some cases destroyed outright by), the Great Depression.
      And, Ethel was framed. For more information, pls read Hadley Freeman's piece in _The Guardian_ , c. 6-19-21.

      Peyton, in the future pls break up a long post into paragraphs -- you have valuable insights, but many people will simply turn away from a big block of prose (I did). In addition, pls keep your prose simple -- your insights have been obscured by prose that is, frankly, way too purple and also inaccurate (ex.: if one is at the peak, one cannot continue to climb it -- the peak is the summit, the top; and, a prima ballerina [no caps] dances -- she doesn't extract a heart from a chest).
      Your prose is also loaded with unnecessary modifiers and images (ex.: _I had the privilege_ suffices -- nothing is gained by adding the modifiers _very special_ ).
      I'm a longtime editor, and I'm sharing this in an effort to be helpful -- I can see that you like to write, and your writing will be stronger if you address the issues I noted. Best wishes.

      @@dw999 I loved your constructive critique of my somewhat verbose review . . . but what I loved even more is that you took the time to write it. Who does that? Well, apparently you do . . . and for that effort I absolutely had to make some effort of my own! By the way, RUclips comments don't actually seem to allow for paragraphs, however after applying your advice the edit is so much shorter so that hopefully paragraphs are no longer necessary. Thanks for taking the time to share your wisdom with a total stranger and with no apparent agenda other than to just be helpful. Honestly, it has put the biggest smile on my face!!

      Wrong. Ethel Rosenberg is most certainly not guilty, but people who know very little about the case, bunch the couple together. It is also strange to see people say they don't want to see a film, simply because it offers a different viewpoint. It's almost like you never want to be challenged and only watch things which tell you what you want to hear.
