If you haven’t watched Andrew Scott in Sea Wall yet, you only have a few more hours before they stop streaming it on YouTube. It’s only 34 minutes, so it’s worth your time! There’s also an hour-long interview with AS and the writer of the play, which I haven’t watched yet.

AS could get an Olivier award tonight. He was nominated as lead actor for Present Laughter and Toby Jones for Uncle Vanya.

I’m so happy for him! I thought this would be good opportunity to remind you of this moment from September 12, 2014, at the Pride premiere in Toronto. I was close enough to him to touch his elbow, but I didn’t. Attachments:

I just watched his HBO’s film Oslo. I enjoyed it but it was a little corny and you can’t avoid to feel cynical about the sentimentality of the last scenes when you already know it was sadly a wasted opportunity that ended in tragedy. I actually think the story of that failed peace process should be told more often but preferably including the bitter ending because that it’s the relevant part that explain what it’s happening today: the extremists on both sides triumphing in creating divisions in their own sides and inciting the violence against moderates and those who really wanted the peace and were ready to make concessions for it.
It’s just a very tragic story that somehow ends in a positive note in the film!
There is a very good book about the failure of the peace process and what happened to Yitzhak Rabin called Killing a King.
I understand the movie is based on a play and it’s noticeable in the witty dialogue and sometimes comical scenes. Some of the characterization is slightly cartoonish but again it’s very enjoyable but yeah, it kind of cheats the audiences with the triumphalist ending. And yeah, they tell you at the end that everything went wrong but that’s not the tone of the scenes.

This documentary is very good and goes much more deeply than the fictional film without doubting to show the sad ending of it,
