Under what sign of the zodiac were you born?

Sometimes It's right and sometimes its wrong

People have always been fascinated by the stars, they chartered their movements. They could tell when Mercury was retrograde or when Mars was aligned with Venus. They made predictions based on these observations. These people were called Astrologers. They were the experts on the Solar System. Until the science of Astronomy came along and proved their ideas to be nothing but bullpucky. I've studied the report their experts wrote.

Trial by Fire

Unrelenting Jack O&apos;Connell - must watch

This is the third movie I have seen Jack O&apos;Connell in where he is a prisoner, after Starred Up (excellent) and Unbroken (spotted but also very good) and it leads me to believe that perhaps he has something to say about the prison system and prisoner reform.

All three of these movies have in common the unrelenting need to showcase the individual as true and real to their beliefs no matter the hard forces that oppress you. And this is a very important thing to teach, something we really do not see enough of.

This movie I cannot get out of my mind and I believe it is for the fact that Jack O&apos;Connell is clearly a master of acting and he is speaking for someone who has no voice of their own: it is gut-wrenchingly powerful. Never before have I seen an actor so devoted to portraying the underdog who is really forced to come to understanding of a terrible fate.

These types of movies are valid because they give you not just the story but the feeling. The feeling of being lost and forgotten, yet heard by someone. I don&apos;t care who you are, deep down everyone should be able to relate to that: being unheard by the masses but remembered by few. It&apos;s literally one of the only things we can strive for.

I probably won&apos;t be able to change your mind about whether or not you want to sit through (**another**) relentless prison movie where hope can only come through as passive understanding. And I won&apos;t say that this movie is for everyone but if you are curious about some of the major inequalities (and I say major because instead of reform we are just erasing these people from society) that plague or beautiful and modern world and you can stomach a little short of 2 hours of intense character development in an setting where development isnt just unencouraged but definitely unwanted then you need to check out this movie. Just remember though that the hope is still out there.

And I just want to end by saying &quot;thank you&quot; to Jack O&apos;Connell. Your efforts to bring awareness to these causes is greatly appreciated not just by me but by many. And I know he would never read this but i just want to add that his depictions of struggles through insane situations has increased the desire in me to enact change as well, and that is what art is all about. So a huge applause to him for taking on the roles that must be near impossible to shake off at nite.

And if you enjoy this definitely check him out in Starred Up and Unbroken, then tell everyone you know about these injustices because that is the only way we will ever change as a society.

Thanks for reading.
