A little more on White Bird, the movie


 

I just finished a movie ¡°of the week¡± class at the Oscher Institute of
Lifelong Learning at George Mason attached to George Mason, where we
discussed this movie. It was brought home to me not only by the
leaders of the class and other people in the class how important and
hard courage is during such fascist and totalitarian regimes ¡ª and
elsewhere in life. The kindness enacted in the film is at the risk of
these peoples¡¯ lives. It is also an act of courage (smaller) when you
ae young in school to stand up against a crowd of bullies and align
yourself with and defend the victim-scapegoat. So here I amend or add
to my blog how we see remarkable courage in this film

A modern instance was Bishop Budde in Washington, D.C preaching
kindness and mercy to Trump on Inauguration day. Afterwards with his
usual stone face he expressed outrage at her ¡°nastiness.¡± I¡¯ve no
doubt she has received death threats. It took a few days for her
church to defend her strongly, but they did
