Bastille Day
Directed by James Watkins
Michael Mason is an American pickpocket living in Paris who finds himself hunted by the CIA when he steals a bag that contains more than just a wallet. Sean Briar, the field agent on the case, soon realises that Michael is just a pawn in a much bigger game and is also his best asset to uncover a large-scale conspiracy. From TMDB

"Same revolution, same world on fire, and yet the two filmmakers could not be in fiercer opposition to one another." thebaffler.com/latest/danci...

During his first term, he was left feeling envious after watching a Bastille Day parade in France in 2017. “We’re going to have to try and top it,” Trump told France’s President Macron a few months after the event. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-reamed-out-hegseth-for-flop-birthday-parade-author/

Tonight, I am watching it, if I have to get a candle and do it in shadow puppets on the side of the house.
neutral · AI labelView post →Interpol was a copaganda I watched based on Victor Mature, Anita Ekberg, and Trevor Howard being in the cast. Loved The Getaway even with all its 1970s flaws. Rewatched Casablanca on Bastille Day and was reminded why it's a favorite. Rewatched another favorite, The Maltese Falcon for more Bogie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bastille Day film rec: That Night in Varennes (1982) The final scene by itself is pure brilliance - a scathing vignette of the insane delusion of monarchism. This is a revolutionary Stagecoach where old & new ideologies jostle each other but in the end monarchy in flight crumbles most pathetically.
positive · AI labelView post →Bastille Day now on #Netflix #BastilleDay A good action movie! Loved the action, actors and thrilling rhythm. With Idris Elba, Richard Madden and many others. A UK/US/FR production.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm glad you said that! The marching ranks doing "pass & review" past IL Duce looked (no disrespect) "slacky" and "not into it." Compare it to the precision & discipline of Korea or China. This was no Bastille Day. Seen the movie "Stripes?" The 'before training' troops?

The streets next to the beach are closed for traffic, security check at every entrance and no cars allowed to be parked anywhere closed to the beach. We are watching the game at the same restaurant as before. But many more people are out watching Spain and France match. #France #JuanLesPins #Worldcup #July14 #bastilleday #NiceAttack
