The French Dispatch is a nostalgic look back at a Paris of the imagination
A weirdly beautiful curiosity, Wes Anderson’s latest film boasts a host of stars and a look back at the Paris that was—and least in the imaginations of some self-serious writers. Read More… I offer you a series on Hollywood as seen by its artists, on the occasion of the impending Oscars. I don’t mean the dominant liberal arrogance that has doomed cinema, but rather the efforts of artists who have spent their careers trying to advance a view of America...
Saving men requires the leadership of laymen
Attempts to “save men” in the past, both for the church and from themselves, have often made things worse by making men more passive. It’s time for men in the pews to take control of their own healing. Read More… Progressives are finally waking up to the reality that men and boys are struggling in America. On January 27, Andrew Yang posted a Twitter thread observing that “there’s a crisis among American boys and men that is too often ignored...
What message does NBC’s Olympics coverage send?
The network admits that diplomacy will not dissuade the CCP mitting atrocities against its people—but why assist in promoting a veneer of normalcy? Read More… The media world is not a principled one, and its decisions are often not moral in nature. Standards of coverage are rarely dictated by the metric of right versus wrong but by popular versus unpopular—determined more by what’s likely to attract viewership than what certain subsets of the viewing public may deem the right thing...
Religious freedom must be protected even from the religious
The First Amendment appears to be under assault from the strangest places, including enclaves of Christians and Christian celebrities who believe power is their only hope. Is Jesus’ kingdom of this world after all? Read More… These are strange times in the United States. We are now living under the second consecutive presidency whose legitimacy is disputed by a significant proportion of the American people. The typical debates about taxation and foreign policy have been eclipsed by arguments about identity...
Christian leaders sign petition asking for amnesty for Jimmy Lai and his co-defendants
The petition asks Hong Kong chief executive Carrie Lam to pardon pro-democracy publisher and entrepreneur Lai and others and to correct the “terrible injustice” that has been inflicted on them through the implementation of the Beijing-inspired National Security Law. Read More… A worldwide coalition of Christian leaders submitted a petition to Carrie Lam, chief executive of Hong Kong, asking her to grant amnesty to individuals charged under the city’s repressive National Security Law (NSL), including one of the city’s most...
House of Gucci is Ridley Scott’s “Basta!” to the commercialization of art
Starring Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, and Al Pacino, this mockery of elites as little more than decadent mafiosi may grab some Oscar nods, but The Godfather it isn’t. Read More… My first Oscars essay presented Wes Anderson, the Hollywood dandy’s Francophilia, The French Dispatch, and gentle criticism of liberal intellectual pretense. The 2022 Oscar contenders also include an examination of American Italophilia—veteran Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci, as full of today’s stars as Anderson’s movies are of yesteryear’s. Lady Gaga...
Is The Lost Daughter this generation’s A Doll’s House?
A fine performance by Olivia Colman and a Euro-style directorial debut by Maggie Gyllenhaal have garnered rave reviews, but this film about a mother abandoning her children is amazing in ways that should give pause. Read More… In Henrik Ibsen’s seminal play A Doll’s House, protagonist Nora Helmer, a hitherto devoted wife and mother, walks out on her husband and their three children, significantly slamming the door behind her in the last scene. The idea of a mother leaving her...
Ilya Shapiro’s ill-worded tweet and the crying game
When a Georgetown law mented on the relative merits of a potential SCOTUS pick, all hell broke loose. Black students demanded a form of “reparations” in response, including a room to “cry.” Have we reached peak “white guilt” yet? Read More… Ilya Shapiro, a Russian émigré, a serious scholar of the American Constitution, and formerly of the libertarian Cato Institute until he was scheduled on February 1 to begin running Georgetown’s Center for the Constitution, has found himself in a...
The Scottish play comes alive in imaginative new Joel Coen film
If you think you’ve seen it all before, perhaps many times before, think again. Expressive direction and Denzel Washington make this a Macbeth for a new era. Read More… Who needs another version of Macbeth on film? You may find yourself asking this question with the release of director Joel Coen’s The Tragedy of Macbeth, which stars Denzel Washington in the title role and, in the part of Lady Macbeth, Coen’s seemingly ubiquitous wife, three-time Academy Award winner Frances McDormand....
Reply to The New York Times: Online worship is still worship
A Lutheran pastor takes issue with a recent Times essay declaring that online religious services should end. But what does it mean to be church? And what does it mean to worship the God es to us wherever we are? Read More… I love watching men’s college basketball. Three e to mind that I’m so thankful to have seen on TV—Chris Jenkins’ buzzer beater to lift Villanova over North Carolina in 2016, Christian Laettner’s dagger to catapult Duke past Kentucky...
