A quotation from Philip K. Dick
The authentic human being is one of us who instinctively knows what he should not do and, in addition, will balk at doing it. He will refuse to do it, even if this brings down dread consequences to him and those whom he loves. This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people. They say “no” to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance. Their deeds may be small, and almost always unnoticed, unmarked by history. Their names are not remembered, nor did these authentic humans expect their names to be remembered. I see their authenticity in an odd way: not in their willingness to perform great heroic deeds, but in their quiet refusals to commit villainies. In essence, they cannot be compelled to be what they are not.

RIP Robert Redford (1936 - 2025).
A great actor and director.
Here a photo showing Redford directing Ordinary People (1980), my favourite film with the peerless Donald Sutherland.

Madeline's Madeline, 2018, #DirectedBy #JosephineDecker, was difficult and confusing to watch at times, for me, and ultimately rewarding.
#HelenaHoward is magnificent and delivers a performance throughout that makes the revelatory monologue and final scene potent and cathartic, reminiscent of such moments in #OrdinaryPeople and #GoodWillHunting, among others.
