Big Brother is watching you and Netflix is one of them. It's kind of annoying to have a brother watching over your shoulder or worse dictating what you should watch.
This is basically what Netflix does. They don't know me but they label me by the films I watch. So if on a certain day my frontdoor is kicked in and they arrest me for being a serial killer I know who to blame.
It's not that I am watching lately most films, series and documentarues I am listening to while I do something else like the laundry, waahing dishes, and I even step outside for an hour or so.
Are you still watching is what Netflix asks. They can not see me since I blindfolded the cam. I always did that with my laptop and I do it with my phone too. There are phones watching you, taking pics every few minutes. Those modern phones always seem to be busy and eat your battery even if you do nothing. That's why mine stays at home and with the flight modus switched on (in a drawer) overnight. I grew up without a phone and can still do without. There's no need to make phonecalls.
The more films and series I watch (usually a winter hobby which kick off is at the holidays) the more suspiscious I get. Just like fake news, there is an awful lot of fake in films and documentaries. It's good to be aware of that and not believe everything told. There are no objective stories, reports, investigations.
Public enemy is a film I watched because of the french language. I found it shocking. Not the fact a released criminal came to live in a monastery but how the people in the village nearby lived, reacted. While their children were bullying and a child died they seamlessly blamed it on the criminal. While the mother of the "murderer" started killing the other children knowing about it the ex-criminal was blamed, hunted, scolded.
I kept wondering how all those villagers can be so violent, get away with killing. It's clear with such parents not much good can be expected from their offspring.
Just a hairdresser spoke to the criminal and he helped her. The younger brother she raised did not protect or cherish her. He did beat her up and shaved her head. Hair loss is not accepted if it's not out of free will. It is not and will never be. Especially not to those who know what happened after the second world war.
Back then it were men too who labelled women and thought they have the right to judge.
Isn't it interesting that nothing has changed?
No way one can walk on both sides, wear two hats.
No way one can start a new life once a debt is paid or after being in prison.
No way the most crazy people are in hospitals.
Just like the worst criminals they live next door and because they are corrupt they can do as they like.
That hairdresser should have abandoned her baby brother a long time ago. Nothing good came out of him. He took 50% of the profit and let his gang beat her up.
What kind of monster is that?
All together it was good for leaving that sick village in the Arden where sick people hunt their fellows with a gun but complain about an ex-inmate being dangerous.
