The kindness of strangers tv. Brett Leveridge was standing on the subway. A guy comes walking down the platform, stopping in front of each passenger and delivering a quiet verdict: You're in. You're out. You, you can stay. You ? gotta go. Most people ignored the guy. But Brett found himself, against his will, hoping the guy would give him the thumbs up, and when the guy does, it's thrilling in a very small way: a tiny kindness from a stranger. Brett's story also appears on his website Brettnews, and you can see a graphic recreation of it in our comic book How to Make Radio. (5 minutes.

The Kindness of Strangers Reviews Movie Reviews By Reviewer Type All Critics Top Critics All Audience Verified Audience December 12, 2019 The cast is stellar-Stella! but everyone checks out long before it's all over. December 10, 2019 The inevitable indifference with which this Christmas turkey will be received should be a blessing to everyone involved. December 9, 2019 Lone Scherfig's everything-is-connected ensemble film never comes together. December 3, 2019 [D]ear lord, I've been searching high and low for something nice to say about this mess, and I have come up nearly empty. September 1, 2019 The Kindness of Strangers has a rather weightless feel, often at odds with its heavy subject matter. Warmheartedness can only get you so far. February 19, 2019 The themes in Strangers are writ-large across the screen - be kinder to one another. And that's it really. February 10, 2019 Every new idea shouts loud, in absurd and unnatural dialogue, leaving nothing more than a sense of confusion and flat-out deflation. The movie, so determined to celebrate small acts of kindness among those who have least, feels a little too calculated and emphatic - a tearjerker that doesn't quite draw tears. February 8, 2019 A problem here is that almost all the characters are victims. I think they've probably hit bottom with this howler, a criss-crossing ensemble piece set in New York and featuring a rogues' gallery of non-characters slowly learning to appreciate the transformative power of (sick bucket please) forgiveness. Scherfig's latest fails on every conceivable level, with a talented cast floundering haplessly like fish floating closer to their deaths as they rise to the top of the fishbowl. These improbable characters weave through one another's lives in maddeningly coincidental, sometimes unintentionally amusing ways which are neither magical nor realistic enough to earn the term 'magical realism. Even Home Alone 2 is far more indelible than The Kindness of Strangers. February 7, 2019 While the movie works to depict how kindness breeds kindness, even in the cruelest of environments, it spends much of the time watching its motley collection of lost souls chase their own tails. It's what might be heart-sinkingly called a modern-day fairytale - but the kind of modern-day fairytale that gets both halves of the equation wrong, giving you something twee and improbable, weighted down by a dreary yet unconvincing realism. Even Kazan's stalwart commitment to the material can't resolve the clash of grit and whimsy in Scherfig's schizo moral fable. The capable actors do what they can, but audiences are more likely to glaze over than share the qualities of mercy and compassion so dutifully stitched into this diagrammatic patchwork. It's a big-hearted picture, certainly, but one that doggedly labours its message.

The kindness of strangers blanche dubois. Last week, on a main road in London, a 55 year-old cyclist was trapped under the wheel of a double decker bus. A crowd of around 100 people gathered together, and in an amazing act of co-ordinated altruism, lifted the bus so that the man could be freed. According to a paramedic who treated the man, this was a "miracle" which may have saved his life. The cyclist was in critical condition in hospital but is now out of danger. He is conscious and feels 'lucky to be alive. ' Altruism and self-sacrifice seem to be typical human responses to crisis situations or tragic events (at least for some people. Another example took place in Scotland in?November 2013, when ten people died after a helicopter crashed into a?pub. Soon after the crash, residents and passers-by rushed towards the scene. Together with some of the pub's clientelle, they formed a 'human chain' passing wounded and unconscious victims inch by inch, out of the danger area and into the hands of the emergency services. From an evolutionary point of view, such cases of altruism are slightly problematic. As Neo-Darwinists would have it, human beings are motivated by self-interest. After all, we're the "carriers" of thousands of genes, whose only aim is to survive and replicate themselves. We shouldn't really be interested in sacrificing ourselves for others, or even in helping others. It's true that, in genetic terms, it's beneficial for us to help people close to us, our relatives or distant cousins?they carry many of the same genes as us, and so helping them may help our genes to survive. But what about when we help people who have no relation to us, or even animals? One possible explanation is that there is really no such thing as "pure" altruism. When we help strangers (or animals) there must always be some benefit to us, even if we're not aware of it. Good deeds makes us feel good about ourselves. They make other people respect us more too, or might (so far as we believe) increase our chances of getting into heaven. Or perhaps altruism is an investment strategy?we do good deeds to others in the hope that they will return the favour some day, when we are in need. (This is known as reciprocal altruism. It could even be a way of demonstrating our resources, showing how wealthy or able we are, so that we become more attractive to the opposite sex, and have enhanced reproductive possibilities. What these explanations have in common is that they are really attempts to explain away?altruism. They remind me of my attempts to excuse my indolence when my wife comes home and finds that I haven't done the DIY jobs I promised to. They're attempts to make excuses for altruism: Please excuse my kindness, but I was really just trying to look good in the eyes of other people. Sorry for helping you, but it's a trait I picked up from my ancestors thousands of years ago, and I just can't seem to get rid of it. " Many acts of kindness may be motivated by self-interest. But is it naive to suggest that "pure" altruism can exist as well? An act of pure altruism may make someone feel better about themselves afterwards, and it may increase other people's respect for them, or increase their chances of being helped in return at a later point. But it's possible that, at the very moment when the act takes place, their only motivation is an impulsive unselfish desire to alleviate another person's suffering. True altruism stems from empathy, our ability to emotionally connect with other people. This ability to empathise means that we are part of a shared network of consciousness. We feel the impulse to alleviate other people's suffering because we can sense it as if it were our own?(to a greater or lesser degree, since levels of empathy obviously vary from person to person. In the words of the philosopher Schopenhauer, My own true inner being actually exists in every living creature, as truly and immediately known as my own consciousness in is the ground of compassion upon which all true, that is to say unselfish, virtue rests, and whose expression is in every good deed. " In other words, there is no need to make excuses for altruism. Instead, we should celebrate it as a one of the highest?and at the same time most fundamental?aspects of human nature.

Or will he find himself cornered with nowhere to run? 4] 5] Plot Edit The episode opens with a vicious attack happening in a village.? Morgana oversees the destruction. Alator of the Catha ?is brought before her on his knees and she demands he tell her who Emrys is. Later on Merlin goes to check on Arthur who tells him to bring breakfast-in-bed for Gwen as Arthur wants to surprise her. As Merlin is collecting flowers? a woman appears and she tells him she has been told to warn him about the great battle. They are interrupted and Merlin promises to seek her out but she also gives him a brooch. Merlin brings Gaius the brooch he found in the woods. The physician states that it was forged in Helva but other than that he knows nothing about it Gaius warns Merlin against going to the wood. However?Merlin goes regardless and??finds pieces of torn paper and brings them to Gaius who is sure are written in the Catha language. Gaius correctly assumes that Morgana has captured Alator to get him to reveal Emrys' true name to her. Merlin returns to Arthur's bedroom and gives him breakfast, still troubled. However,?victims of Morgana's vicious attack?flood into Camelot from one of the few places where magic is still used. Merlin confides in Gaius?and tells him Alator would never betray him and also tells him about about Finna. He goes to meet her, however Gaius suspects Finna of siding with Morgana and alerts Arthur who sends out his knights to capture Finna. Against Gaius' advice, Merlin goes, and finds she is a follower of Alator's, and her name is Finna. Requesting he meet her again when Mordred leads the Knights into the temple, she runs off into the woods. Meanwhile Morgana is?having Alator beaten by one of her minions however Alator remarks he has been trained to cope with physical torture which leads?Morgana to use evil magic in and attempt to get the truth by using the Nathair but he still refuses to talk. Alator received a letter from Finna telling him that all was well and she had found Emrys. Morgana has her guards bring Alator to her again. Once again, she tries to get the information from him. However, he refuses, and?claims that if Morgana killed him, he'd go to paradise happy in the knowledge that Morgana would have failed. Unfortunately at the time,?Morgana's guards discovered the letter from Finna. After telling Alator she would 'find Finna ' and break her like a twig' and 'enjoy your other world' she snaps his neck using magic. Meanwhile Morgana is searching for Finna in the woods at the same time as Merlin. Merlin reaches her first and they talk, before being attacked by three of Morgana's army. Merlin is wounded, but they manage to escape to an old watch tower, where Finna completes her request and delivers Arthur's destiny to Merlin. She warns Merlin not to trust Mordred? and asks that?he leave her his sword, before telling him to go to the roof, for it is her that Morgana wants. As Morgana arrives, she confronts Finna and asks for Emrys' identity, but Finna uses Merlin's sword to stab herself, dying almost immediately from her wounds, leaving Morgana frustrated as she has no other way to find Emrys. Morgana then orders her men to burn Finna's body and leaves, meanwhile as Merlin is dying from his wound he speaks in dragon tongue and Kilgharrah ?appears from nowhere and flies him?to safety and heals him. As Merlin wakes he thanks Kilgharrah for his help however also notices Kilgharrah has a wound on his wing and asks him what has happened. Kilgharrah remarks his time has come and reveals he is dying. Merlin is shocked by this and asks Kilgharrah if he will see him again, however Kilgharrah remarks when Merlin needs him he will be there for him and flies away. Merlin later on confides in Gaius and has him read the parchment Finna gave him which says that on the Great Plain of Camlann Arthur will meet his end. Merlin is worried and shocked as he has found out where Arthur shall die by Mordred's hand, just then, a Knight bursts in and brings in a dead fellow Knight whose face is covered in excess skin and Gaius identifies this as ragaid a?very gruesome type of magic and says Morgana has declared war on Camelot.

The kindness of strangers movie 2018. “Thank goodness Greta Garbo encouraged her confidante Salka Viertel to write. With cameos by Kafka, Sarah Bern?hardt, Eisenstein, Isherwood, and many others, Viertels memoir is humane, lightly ironic, and dizzyingly enter?taining. Its a portrait of two lost worlds?the pre?-Hitler German?-speaking stage and the pre-?CGI Hollywood?as well as the story of an actress and screenwriter who all her life was bold in love and passionate for the arts. ” ?Caleb Crain “Salka ends her book with a phrase about her ‘incorrigible heart. It is this quality which sustains and ennobles all the artistic, intellectual, social and political events which her book narrates. It gives us a sense of what it is to be a true person. Without that core of warm humanity all the rest would be vanity. ”??Harold Clurman,? The Nation? “From early childhood in the Polish Ukrainian sector of Austria-Hungary through her experiences in the German theater and Hollywood, Mrs. Viertel shares a full life, candidly and rewardingly. ”? Kirkus Reviews “Salka is forgotten today. Biographies have been written about her ‘genius husband Berthold, but Salka appears only as footnote in works about Greta Garbo. She deserves better, and her extraordinary story should to be read today by anyone interested in the German exile experience. ”? Dialog International.
The kindness of strangers release date. The kindness of strangers december 2019 movie. The kindness of strangers book. The kindness of strangers mike mcintyre. 2 / 5 stars 2 out of 5 stars. A strange choice for Berlins opening night sees Bill Nighys funny Russian the only bright spot while an ensemble cast blunder through Lone Scherfigs baffling drama Not one for the showreel … Zoe Kazan and Tahar Rahim in The Kindness of Strangers. Photograph: Per Arnesen/Berlinale/EPA T he Berlin film festival gets off to the ropiest start with this inert, implausible, often bafflingly acted ensemble movie from Lone Scherfig about lonely souls who miraculously find each other in New York. Its what might be heart-sinkingly called a modern-day fairytale ? but the kind of modern-day fairytale that gets both halves of the equation wrong, giving you something twee and improbable, weighted down by a dreary yet unconvincing realism. There are some decent moments: Bill Nighy is often amusingly eccentric as Timofey, the Russian-American proprietor of a failing Manhattan restaurant, and he does have one very funny line as he serves some dishes to two diners and then, having turned to leave, wrongly assumes one of their intimately intense questions is addressed to him. And Zoe Kazan certainly pulls out all the emotional stops playing Clara, on the run with her two boys from a terrifyingly abusive cop husband. But the performance of Tahar Rahim, as Timofeys restaurant manager, really is not one for the showreel. Its one that he may now wish to have scrubbed from his IMDb credits. This is not his first English-language performance. But his line readings are mysterious. The American-accented English is challenging. He gives every appearance of not understanding a single word that comes out of his mouth. But then the direction is uneven generally, and the film itself sometimes appears to have been Google-translated from Danish via Welsh. Scherfig herself has directed some great English-language pictures, such as An Education and Their Finest, but the screenplay she has written here is uncertain. ‘Weve had this conversation! … Bill Nighy as Timofey. Photograph: Per Arnesen/Berlinale/EPA Rahims character is called Marc, an ex-con now going straight and his best friend is John Peter (played by Jay Baruchel) the lawyer who took his case. John Peter accompanies Marc to the forgiveness group therapy session at a local church, being run by ER nurse Alice (Andrea Riseborough) who does this in her spare time out of the goodness of her heart, though she is secretly hardly less unhappy than the regular attendees. Poor Clara is to come into contact with all these people as she flees her family home in Buffalo, New York and takes the kids to Manhattan, where she hopes her violent husband cant find them. They sleep in her car at night and during the day, while the kids are dozing in the public library, she forages by shoplifting and stealing leftover food on trays in hotel corridors. The film shows a civil court proceeding for child custody and then a criminal trial for assault lasting a painless month or so, passing in a very brisk montage. Meanwhile, the strangest and most jarringly unsuccessful character is Jeff (Caleb Landry Jones) an incorrigible guy who reacts to being fired from a mattress shop by throwing a swivel chair through a first-floor window. Is he supposed to have a creepy violent temper, like Claras husband? Evidently not. But if hes supposed to be a sympathetic free spirit, then I guess its pedantic and beside the point to care about who that chair might have landed on. The Kindness of Strangers is one of those terrible ideas for a film: ensemble dramas that are superficially attractive because of all the big names shoehorned into the cast-list. Its a bit like Fernando Meirelless awful film 360, which brings together a similar bunch of uninteresting characters made even more uninteresting by the tiresomely unreal way they are corralled together. And the film is furthermore naive about showing homelessness as a problem to be cured with romance. Still, Nighy has some fun with his wacky cod-Russian accent, arguing with his partners: “Please, Sergei! Weve had this conversation! ”.

The kindness of strangers 2006. Average rating 4. 02 12, 534 ratings 1, 554 reviews, Start your review of The Kindness of Strangers Jordan, aged beyond his mere eleven years, cannot understand why this is happening to him. He is a child, unwilling and unable to comprehend his situation. For him, there is no escape. Sarah Laden knows grief. She feels it everyday her husband doesn't come home. She feels it deep within her bones. If her husband was still living, perhaps he would never have come into their lives. There may never have been that gaping hole. That cavernous void. This book was torturous in moments, yet ultimately... I read this book about 8 years ago and it's one of those books that has stayed with me ever since. It will probably always be one of my favorite books. Even though it is also one of the most difficult books I have ever read. It's the book that comes to mind whenever someone asks for a recommendation. I had originally meant to write a review but somehow it slipped my mind. The novel was on my mind again as I just recently recommended it to someone. This book introduced me to author Katrina Kittle... You know you're reading a great book when you start thinking about its characters and their story in your free time. This book completely consumed my thoughts. Although the subject matter may turn some readers off- the story deals with incest and child pornography- the author handles it with an immense amount of compassion and poise. I felt so attached to the characters in this novel, and Kittle (a middle school English teacher. didn't hold back; there were constant shocks and twists in the... It's hard to review a book highly which depicts such horrific subject matter. That being said, this book will be one that will remain with me. Child abuse to the deepest degree. A difficult subject but yes I am glad I read it. Very well written. 5 stars! Wow - this was an intense, highly-emotional and uncomfortable book. I don't think it's possible for me to give this book the review it deserves. I had no idea what I was getting into when I picked it up. Kudos to the author, Katrina Kittle, for writing an extremely powerful book about such a devastating and disturbing topic - child sexual abuse. Pedophiles are expert manipulators who thrive on finding vulnerable children and they often lead completely "normal" lives. What an eye-opener... I'm still feeling conflicted over this book- it was a really hard subject matter (pedophiles, child sex abuse) and was full of terrible language in large quantities, but it was such an interesting look at a struggling family who worked through some really tough challenges and was even able to embrace another child to help him work through his trials. I loved the way the author captured the emotions of the characters- the story was told through three rotating points of view- and I was so... This book is a perfect example of why I love my GR buddies- without them I never would have had this on my radar; I never would have known this existed, because let's be honest: that cover is easy to overlook. Don't let the cute cover fool you- this is emotionally draining. But it's worth it. Before I go any further, just know that you NEED to read this. It is heartbreaking. It is raw. It is real, with no pieces of truth extracted. Even if you only read to escape life's woes, please consider... Although the back of the book attempts to summarize without hinting at content, my friend Cecily actually recommended this to me specifically because it was about childhood sexual abuse. If that is something you prefer not to spend free time thinking about, then don't read this. After working at a sexual assault crisis hotline for 3+ years, however, I'm sort of inclined to think that because silence surrounding child victims is almost as significant a form of oppression as the abuse itself, that... When you hear about parental child abuse in the newspaper or on the tv it's normally about the court proceedings or the accused and very rarely any information about what happens to the abused child. This heartbreaking novel takes us on the same journey as the child who finds when his parents are arrested he cannot look after himself so is hospitalised and under the care of psychologists and social workers. He is alone, frightened and bleeding, All his friends and neighbors know what has happened... This is an incredible story of surviving the unimaginable. It is a distressing read, and yet, the message of love and resiliency makes it a worthwhile. Kittle's writing is moving. I loved how she rotated the point of view of each character in alternating chapters, so that I knew each one intimately. I have gone back and forth between rating it 4 or 5 stars, and have decided that it deserves 5 because of the beautiful story telling, even though the subject matter of Jordan's life is... THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS by Katrina Kittle / William Morrow Press / 390pps / 24. 95 When an elementary boy tries to kill himself, people look for reasons. What they usually find is horrendous. Jordan is the quiet, skinny, pale boy who is best friends with the youngest of Sarah's two sons. Sarah is recently widowed and runs a catering business out of her home. She has catered "parties" for Jordan's parents on numerous occasions. She is close friends with Jordan's mother. When police... This is not an easy book to review. It's also a difficult book to read due to the subject matter. Without giving away any spoilers the story revolves around incest, child abuse and paedophiles (which was surprise to me as I started it on an aeroplane journey so couldn't read the blurb before hand. It's painful and uncomfortable to read especially the 11 year old boy, Jordan, chapters. However it is gripping and the author covers this horrific subject with sensitivity and compassion. Told from... Sarah Laden has her hands full raising her boys after the death of her husband. Two years later, she struggles to keep all her spinning plates in the air. Her oldest son Nate seems determined to make her life as difficult as possible. Being a teenager he chafes at the rules she sets down. And her younger son Danny, sweet and socially awkward, struggles daily with school and friendships. When she comes to the aid of a friend's young son, she finds herself embroiled in the exposure of a child sex... A must read if you can deal with the subject matter. An emotive, compelling tale of the horrors of abuse and how it affects not only the child but also the people it touches. Despite the grim situation, it is incredibly well written with compassion yet without couching the horror in coy terms. It is honest which is sometimes difficult to read, it can make your heart hurt. This issue is so often exploited for shock value or tabloid fodder. There is no sensationalism in this story - but raw truth... Not bad, not not good, either. One does have to admire the author's guts in tackling such a touchy subject: incest/child pornography. Avoiding graphic details and gratuitous description, the author still manages to tell her story without it feeling like a cop-out. Unfortunately, not being a cop-out" does not equal "a great read. The best way I can describe the writing is "immature" Kittle has a ways to go before she's ripe. The characters are cookie-cutter and predictable, the... I absolutely loved this book. It is without a doubt one of the most heartbreaking books I've ever read, but also the most heartwarming, in an alternating pattern that varies throughout the book. Dealing with the aftermath of horrible child abuse in a way that is honest and real, there is no sugarcoating of facts to be found here. Obviously, things aren't blatantly described, but the author has no problem discussing the issue. But, at the same time, this is not a story about child abuse, but... I honestly don't know how to rate this book because I loved it so much yet disturbed all at the same time. I found myself not being able to put the book down but probably because I wanted to know what was going to happen to each of them. Of course it broke my heart as we know this really does exist every day. I think it was a GREAT approach for the author to show- yes, good things can come out of horrible situations. I guess we need more Nate's in the world to convince us we have enough to give... This is an amazing book! I was totally enthralled the entire time. The characters- every single one- are so drawn out that you actually feel part of the story- that you know them. She deals with a very tough subject- child sexual abuse- but she touches every situation with great care. The way she has Danny, Nate, their mother, and Jordan going you'd swear she actually wrote down every little nuance from her own childhood and teenage years- she just does everything so well- totally believeable! I... I really did not like this book, which I read for my Book Club about a year or so ago. The subject of the novel is the sexual abuse of a child- which, by the way, is not even hinted at on the book jacket (you only know that there is some vague "family problem. The descriptions of this abuse were, I thought, overly detailed- almost lurid. I had the sense that the author wanted to write a story about a family with a real juicy skeleton in the closet, so she wracked her brain to find the most... 4. 5 stars. Despite the excellent reviews, I was hesitant to read about the sexual abuse of a child. I have to say, though, that the author handled this so well that it was hard for me to put this one down. It really dealt with the aftermath of the abuse and the emotions it elicits from not only the victim of the abuse, but of those in the community, especially the close friends of the child and his abusers. I highly recommend this one. So this is one of those books that deals with a gross and tries to come at it in a serious way. This is not a horror book, it is a "chicklit" kind of story about a family who finds out the wor
