I re watched 'The way back' the other day.
Siberian gulag escapees travel 4,000 miles by foot to freedom in India, based on a true story so I lead to believe.

As Brad Pitt is now in the news for the wrong reasons, I recommend:
A River Runs Through ait
and
Legends Of The Fall
The first one features Tom Skeritt and the other one Anthony Hopkins, two superb actors, vastly superior to Brad but they lift his acting.
Super movies for being made in Hollywood

The Rabbit-Proof Fence (Australia). Three Aboriginal girls are taken from their families to be trained as domestic servants.
They escape and travel on foot 1,500 miles to get home.

The Survivalist. Its a low budget movie centering on a post apocalyptic Ireland. Fairly bleak but I fear accurate take on the way society would become fractured and desperate with groups banding together and individuals either trying to scratch an existence alone or preying on others.
Yeh, that was pretty good actually. Better on second viewing. The ending though......oh jemima! I hope they bopped him on the head first eh?
[Read this morning that Putin had a drill this week, where 40 million russians went into the underground bunkers? ***?! Why dont our civilian population have underground bunkers!]
40 million???? That's not a bunker that's a small country.
Misinformation and info wars I think...
A load of baloney as they say in New York....😁
That movie sounds good though, will check it out...
👍

Bit scary
Should throw all these politicians in a pit together with a few axes, whilst the normal people have a beer.

Im a cynical old fart , long in the tooth, and Ive stopped believing these type of news years ago ...
Around the George Bush era...
( ie: WMD's aimed at us and ready to deploy and within 40 minutes we'd be toast according to most of the news at the time...😒
As ALL news come from about 3 or 4 sources ( Reuters, AP , etc...) and then fed to us , the sheeple through the hundreds of thousands of news channels worldwide...
This is yet another attempt to stir up the wasps nest...
And probably another diversion to keep us in fear .
Fear mongering and disinformation in my opinion.
But that's just my opinion.
Sorry to go off topic and if my opinion upsets anyone.
Kind regards
