Complete lattices, yes. Would you rather discuss chains and anti-chains in complete lattices, or the only-local-Jesus-nut complete partial orders, or how "universality" induces both inequalities and equalities in general partial orders, or...?
EDIT [Re: VIU, compare LDB's complaints of betrayal. A school friend once noted that his mother only watched movies about two people who love each other but can't marry because they have the wrong colour dots on their foreheads; after that I couldn't help but notice all the US movies with the same plot, just with implicit, not explicit, dots. Courier is a late soviet wrong-colour-dot movie]
He's pretty bad in The Scarlet Letter, a schmaltzy romance. His performance as Beethoven in Immortal Beloved is quite an acquired taste.
He's also done a long list of terrible B-movies like The Courier, out of necessity (he's been open in interviews about difficulties getting roles), and it often shows in his performances that he's not passionate about them.
Curious. I just watched the film The Courier (2021) about the espionage exploits of British Businessman Grenville Wynne during the height of the Cold War (Cuban Missile Crisis). The subtext of the story is the threat of Nuclear war, which gripped the world at that time.
Momentous times and their news filters. Several scenes of the film depict characters watching or listening to the news or reading newspapers. And, a line in the film warns that the fallout shelters won’t save you. Ever seen the PSAs from the 1950s training school children to get under their desk when the siren sounds? That sort of thing.
I'm not sure it isn't. It is naturally unpopular among USians to contemplate that they might not be perfect rulers of the world. But it is pretty obvious that one party rule is not a good idea. The US is bad enough with checks on its absolute power. Heaven forbid they should be unchecked.
That's not anti-American. The sentiment applies equally to everyone. Russia should not have complete control of the world. Nor should Holland or Iceland. The USA has way too much power and influence as it stands. Thank goodness there is some opposition to provide some balance.
USians watch a movie like "The Courier" or "Hunt for Red October" and applaud the courage and foresight of a man who was willing to be a traitor to the USSR in order to save the world. But they villify anybody who would be so treacherous as betray the USA. NATO missiles in Poland: good. Warsaw Pact missiles in Poland: bad.
Unproven vulnerabilities in Huawei equipment: unacceptable. Replace it all with American products proven repeatedly to be espionage vectors of the USA government: good.
I wonder if a post like this one will attract more interest from Chinese intelligence or from USA intelligence.

You need to set your UI language to get access to more subtitles in Netflix. My wife is Thai and Thai subtitles only show when the UI is set to Thai.
Prime is worse. I actually watched the movie The Courier with English subtitles on and the subtitles disappeared for all of the Russian dialogue.
