Rob Maaddi, Associated Press Pro Football writer checks in regarding being on the receiving end of nasty & unpleasant messages on social media (most recently revolving around comments made by former Eagles & Colts quarterback Carson Wentz shared about being traded that Maaddi simply reposted). Maaddi, who is also host of the "Faith on the Field" radio show (www.faithonthefieldshow.com) emphasizes the need to love your enemy (and at times, use the "block" button on social media :)).
We're also joined by Andrew Levitas, director of the new film "Minamata." From the press release:
"Inspired by a true story, Minamata stars Johnny Depp playing celebrated photojournalist Eugene Smith. The film takes place in 1971 when we find Smith as a recluse and disconnected from the world he once shot. After receiving one final assignment from Life Magazine editor Robert Hayes (Bill Nighy), Eugene must travel to the Japanese coastal city of Minamata, which has been ravaged by mercury poisoning. Ushered by an impassioned Japanese translator, Aileen (Minami) and encouraged by local villagers (Hiroyuki Sanada), Eugene's powerful images expose decades of gross negligence by the country's Chisso Corporation."
Smith is a heavy drinker, smoker, swearer, and broke...and is not a particularly good father. Yet there are flashes of compassion (grizzled as it might be) in his character as Smith perseveres in documenting the story. "Minamata" is edgy in its language at times, with a storyline that's sad, emotional, powerful, and redemptive (at least in part). One key scene revolves around one of the most famous photos in the past 60 years, "Tomoko In Her Bath" (it is also known by several other names).
