1 month agoIMO “The Death of Stalin” is a very good example of that. All of the actors are on the top of their game, but it’s a black, political comedy taking place in the Soviet Union, so exactly the opposite of what the Academy would even consider for an Oscar. In my personal view Simon Russell Beale as Beria is particular noteworthy: He is terrific, ie. absolutely terrifying in the role and I can’t imagine an actor playing the mass-murdering, pedophilic head of the KGB getting an Oscar (he got a BAFTA at least).
I can’t take articles such as this one seriously if they don’t mention right-wing terrorists recruiting through the same channels and means. That has been a known problem for more than a decade.
Treating online radicalisation solely as a problem of people with a migrant/non-European/Muslim/… background is very telling and borders on lying by omission.
