How does one (honestly and truthfully) explain that movie to a child or even a young adult? It’s like a child telling their parents that he/she dreamt (last night) about a poetry teacher that sexually assaulted them and the parents were both in the dream watching and laughing ... And in America, and Bill Gates provided the IP address to find them.

Just went and reviewed that movie which my own mom took me to see at a drive in theater when I must have been 14. I actually never quite understood it's weird ending. So brutal. Yeah, Bill Gates and Fauci's America all the way . I bet my mom didn't even get that movie! She doesn't think about such things as that. She even took us to "Who's afraid of Virginia Wolfe" also very weird. And I was under age ten and wondering what s o b meant. I do like weird stuff though. Of Mice and Men is a wow story

Wow. You know that movie. I saw it when I was pretty young and I honestly don't remember it well . I don't even think it had to do with horses. But the title went well with my footle. Now you have made me want to explore the theme of that movie. Anything involving Bill Gates is a nightmare for sure
