Film Review: Nicola Valley Film Society, Max Manus Man of War:

November 15th 2010, a viewing of an internationally acclaimed film at the new lecture theatre at the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology attended by about 90 people enjoying a wide-screen,elevated sitting and different from the last venue the City Civic Center .The film setting was Second World War Norway, the timeline a friendly occupation of the Nazis to its eventual ending. Characters were young activists that became first terrorists against the occupiers, and then sanctioned commandos or a Norwegian Para Military resistance trained in England and returned as home town saboteurs’. It is purported as a true story. Not able to be called a remnant army because of the close relationship and as some have said, agreement on the race domination of the world; it is full of irony. At one point they are able to walk through hundreds of Nazis soldiers knowing that there were token prime military age men allowed to have civilian jobs because of the critics’ view that only disabled and idiots would  go to the army freely. Winked at as they placed their charges to sink ships they use a vitality that could only come from knowledge.

Every issue surrounding social engineering is covered and the attractiveness of the lack of disabled and elderly, those the state called useless eaters didn’t get missed by this writer. A viewer not informed of the history of that model fascist utopia may have only come away thinking how desirable the people were, all young and with vigor.

A defining statement by the protagonist Lt Manus “the victor will determine which the patriot was” was profound and enduring. Setting a tone of expectation based on our foreknowledge of the event.

The film is graphic in the portraying of violence, however it is not an overwhelming center of the plot it does its job and no more.

One of the targets, the employment office demonstrates how much stock the regime put in defining people by its needs at the cost of self-determination,as the locally grown saboteurs put themselves at risk to individually burn and see destroyed the files that were kept on workers, the pending soldiers/saboteurs spending the night at a fire-place instead of blowing them up.

The era this film was based on will give you an understanding of our charter that since 1982 has barred government programs based on race or ethnicity, with the exception of section 15 that allows for the dealing with of poverty on an Indian reserve. We are legislatively safe from repeats .The first nations population is at 2 percent and is unlikely to become a dominate culture.

This film unreservedly rates: excellent PP: *****

Restaurant Review: Star Bucks Via brand coffee:

This coffee is fairly new launched a matter of weeks ago it has many different flavors.[Picture] Carmel is our test today .The coffee is  for sipping and enjoyable to the last drop .Carmel flavoring is not pronounced as sweet, but leaves a strong sweet taste hard to describe  turning to a bit of a bitter after taste that prevails for a long time.

For a novelty’s conversation this coffee rate: good ****
