Movie of the Year: 1982

Fitzcarraldo

Does Fitzcarraldo have what it takes to get over the hump and into the heights of 1982’s Movie of the Year?

With apologies to Kate Bush, running up that hill is nothing compared to what this movie brings to audiences. Running up a hill? Sure, that sounds very tiring and like a total waste of time, but dragging a big-h boat up a hill? That’s even more tiring, and it is many times more a waste of time; however, it is also very dangerous. But on top of that, it is also a tremendously bad idea. Boats on the mountains? What do you mean that doesn’t work out fine? Well, dear reader, it looks like you’re just going to have to tune in and find out!

Fitzcarraldo, why don’t you come to your senses? You better let somebody love you.

Make sure to also:

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe versus Wade on June 24th.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.

Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn’t be the privilege of a small few.

You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com.
