Why Romantic Movies Are Especially Bloody This Year

2 months ago | thedispatch.com | Joseph Holmes |Guy Denton |Hannah Long |Michael Warren

Culture Treating love like a horror-fantasy isn’t very helpful for human flourishing. Published February 15, 2025 This month has brought a surprising uptick in a more gory kind of date flick. Companion is a sci-fi thriller about a companion robot who turns against her owner and blows his brains out. Heart Eyes follows a slasher villain named Heart Eyes who kills couples on Valentine’s Day. Love Hurts is about a mob enforcer who kills his old crew to save an old flame.
Will Trump's immigration policy backfire?

Nov 20, 2024 | news.futunn.com | Hannah Long

来源：巴伦中文作者：汉娜·艾琳·朗生相反的效果。特朗普提出提关税政策已被认为会推高物价，经济学家警告指出，他的第二个标志性政策——将数百万非法移民驱逐出美国的计划——也可能会推高物价。经济学家们认为，大规模移民驱逐计划会扰乱依赖移民劳动力的行业，包括农业和建筑业，造成工人短缺和生产减缓等问题，并最终导致食品、住房和其他商品变得更加昂贵。凯投宏观(Capital Economics)首席经济学家尼尔·希林(Neil Shearing)周一（11月18日）在一份报告中写道：“关税并不是真正的威胁，其他国家和地区自会关注特朗普第二个任期的贸易政策的影响，将给美国经济带来真正冲击的，是特朗普在移民问题上的立场。” 特朗普的大规模移民驱逐计划会给美国经济带来哪些影响？特朗普此前表示，他将根据1798年通过的《外敌法》(Alien Enemies Act)驱逐生活在美国各地的数百万非法移民。特朗普说，他的计划最多将涉及1500万或2000万人，不过，根据移民研究中心(Center for Migration...
Where Doth Evil Reside?

Oct 26, 2024 | thedispatch.com | Ryan Shinkel |Cliff Smith |Hannah Long |Walter Olson

A look at the evolution of horror film. Published October 26, 2024 Like the gothic novel, classic horror pits past against present. Either modern science goes too far or evil rises from the grave. When a man finds an old castle overgrown with foliage and overlooked by modernity, he should encounter either Dr. Frankenstein, a mad scientist making a monster, or Count Dracula, a wicked old lord who lost his soul. Each man was justly punished for seeking forbidden knowledge.
American Films and the Biblical Books They Echo

Oct 12, 2024 | letterboxd.com | Hannah Long

This is a list that is almost certainly of interest to no one but me. These are American movies that echo a specific biblical story or book--intentionally or unintentionally. They can’t be straight adaptations of those stories, and they have to be good movies. The idea here is to show the literary and cultural imprint of the Bible in popular art. And to piece together the whole Bible with movies. Why? I have no idea. Makes my brain happy.
The Other Cuba

Oct 4, 2024 | thedispatch.com | Giancarlo Sopo |Nick Ripatrazone |Hannah Long |Mary Trimble

How a slick 1964 propaganda film unwittingly subverted Fidel Castro’s regime. Published October 5, 2024 Like clockwork every four years, Americans are inundated with dire warnings that the wrong vote will plunge our nation into either the clutches of communism or the chokehold of fascism. Obviously, this is sheer nonsense—the closest most Americans have ever been to communism is Rocky IV.
‎‘Twisters’ review by Hannah Long • Letterboxd

Jul 27, 2024 | letterboxd.com | Hannah Long

Deeply stupid in the same wonderful ways that America is. We have more tornadoes than any other country—just one of the ways we’re number one—and there’s a straight line from Teddy Roosevelt delivering a campaign speech with a bullet in his chest to Glen Powell in a pickup truck barreling into a twister, shooting off fireworks to Ghost Riders in the Sky. Of course, Thomas Mapother IV would have driven into real tornadoes. But Glen has time to get there.
‘A Passage to India’ Then and Now

On its 40th anniversary, what David Lean’s film says about the price of understanding. Published July 27, 2024 In 1984, acclaimed filmmaker David Lean—the director of such undisputed triumphs as Lawrence of Arabia, and Doctor Zhivago—blessed the world with one more Academy Award-winning masterpiece: the too-often-forgotten A Passage to India.
‘Horizon’ Begins a Civilizational Saga

Jul 20, 2024 | thedispatch.com | Ethan McGuire |Guy Denton |Hannah Long |Anthony M. Barr

In his essay “The Myth of the Old West,” the American literary critic T.K. Whipple wrote, “All America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and our past is not a dead past but still lives in us. … Our forebears had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside. We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers.”This claim, of America’s struggle with the wilderness, permeates director Kevin Costner’s new four-part film series, Horizon: An American Saga.
