Remake of a Japanese Movie
which was based on a Japanese novel. Son Yeh Jin looks good. She should settle down. But the entertainment industry is rather screwed up and the sort of people it draws...

Is it faithful to the novel?
Despite the CGI, it doesn't strike me as being more interesting than the animated adaptation from the 70s.
If only a Japanese studio had been chosen to animate a new adaptation.
Nice Try, STD
But this won't over those who are disgruntled because it does nothing to address their concerns with the show.

Think first-wave feminism wasn't toxic?
From "The Destructive Male" by Elizabeth Cady Stanton: “The male element is a destructive force, stern, selfish, aggrandizing, loving war, violence, conquest, acquisition, breeding in the material and moral world alike discord, disorder, disease, and death. See what a record of blood and cruelty the pages of history reveal!”

More Subversion of the Popular Understanding of the "Traditional Elites"
Fans of the TV series will be happy. But it will probably be junk. Upstairs, Downstairs will be a classic but will contemporary audiences and their children care? The Golden Age of British television is long past.

What the BBC Thinks an Assassination Attempt Looks Like
Just a nobody's thoughts: no taking out of the engine block? Shooting out the windows? (Apparently the sniper had a lot of ammunition to expend so why not try to get rid of the windows?) No shooters on hand to engage the car at close range? They should have asked a Mexican cartel for technical advice.
Will this one do well in China?

The Replacement of the Gospel of Christ by SJW Liberalism

MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS FOR THE CELEBRATION OF THE 52nd WORLD DAY OF PEACE:
We think of corruption in its varied forms: the misappropriation of public resources, the exploitation of individuals, the denial of rights, the flouting of community rules, dishonest gain, the justification of power by force or the arbitrary appeal to raison d’état and the refusal to relinquish power. To which we can add xenophobia, racism, lack of concern for the natural environment, the plundering of natural resources for the sake of quick profit and contempt for those forced into exile.
Time for Latins to reconsider the assertions of Vatican I concerning the papacy.

Southern Music
Abbeville Institute: Southern Music is American Music by Tom Daniel
"Southern music is a direct backdoor entrance to raw, authentic Southern culture without having to go through any filtered Yankee nonsense."
But what if it is played by Yankee musicians? How is that conveyed to the audience.
Was thinking of how many musicians are "progressive" or supporters of the modern Democratic party. Is this tied to the heavy emotionalism of their music? How do musicians who play more "ordered" music (as delineated by traditionalists) compare regarding their political beliefs and party affiliations? Are Southern folk musicians free from sin and vice? (Womanizing and adultery, and so on?) Is the disorder reflective less of the music than with the lifestyle, which may seem irregular to an outsider?

I believe that the most significant difference between the South and the rest of the country is that in the South, although groups of people may not get along with each other and may clash and have their differences, frequently the people within the groups get along fine. They know each other, they work together, go to church together, and they’re neighbors. They have built relationships with each other, and they see eye-to-eye on a lot of face-to-face issues, and they are rightfully happy with that arrangement. However, outside the South, that situation is exactly reversed. Although groups of people may be technically cooperative, the individuals within the groups don’t have anything to do with each other. I like our way better.

Oz Conservative: Do women love the same way?
Do women judge the quality of their relationships (or compatibility with a man) through emotion alone? Or does reason have more of a role? This is the question. Emotion is primarily directed at the self, so if they are judging through emotion alone, one should expect the judgment to be more self-focused in that respect.

Populism a Child of the French Revolution?
De Mattei: The Two Souls of the Yellow Gilets by Roberto de Mattei
What sort of political authority, direct or indirect, would De Mattei like to see the Church have? And by what divinely-given competence would bishops have such authority?
Sovereignty is still a bad word, even though it can be defined differently and in a way that is consonant with Natural Law. But for Latin traditionalists it is a product of the Enlightenment. (And not a product of the modern nation-state and statism! Even if the philosophers who talked about it were not official spokesman for the nation-state or the ruling regime, they nonetheless philosophized in such an environment. While they may have rejected the claims of an individual or group to authority, how many of them denied the legitimacy of the modern nation-state? And if they did, would they have lived long?)
Of course, there is a reference to Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, the founder of TFP.
Is it true that primary leadership will never exceed more than the few? Probably. But, these sort of traditionalists forget that Aristotle also claimed that republic, or politeia, rule by the many, was also a legitimate political regime.
This isn't the distinction that Aristotle offers, who instead focuses on the measure of virtue. One could say that because the elites are virtuous, they are disposed to sacrifice their own interests in order to serve the common good, but, again, what if the so-called elites aren't the only ones who possess political virtue?
Secondly, rendering services, is that another way of talking about some form of "servant leadership"? Or making sacrifices? Is the word "sacrifice" loaded with a Romantic or some other false connotation here? Their private goods, perhaps, but the common good includes the good of the elites, or any other virtuous group.
From the historical-political viewpoint, both these concepts originate with the French Revolution, which marked the end of Christian civilization, and the rise of a “profane” political space. In 1789, when the General States assembled together in Versailles, the French Monarchic State was characterized by a social tripartite. At the top were the clergy and the nobility, at the bottom the Third State. After the dissolution of the General States, in the National Assembly, the defenders of the Throne and the Altar were located on the right, and on the left, were the liberals and the republicans. The first defend the upper class, the second the people – in the lower ranks. The two metaphors, those of the vertical and horizontal, are interconnected.
What sort of political authority, direct or indirect, would De Mattei like to see the Church have? And by what divinely-given competence would bishops have such authority?

What distinguishes an elite, as Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira underlines, is being disposed to sacrifice its own interests in order to serve the common good which is the highest interest of society (Nobiltà ed élites tradizionali analoghe nelle allocuzioni di Pio XII al Patriziato e alla Nobiltà, Marzorati, Milano 1993). Pius XII calls being “an elite, is not only through blood or lineage, but most of all through works and sacrifice, creatively carrying out services to all social communities.” (Discourse to the Patriciate and the Roman Nobility, January 11, 1951).
This isn't the distinction that Aristotle offers, who instead focuses on the measure of virtue.

An Outsider's Observations of Japan
Kawaii, Somber Japan by LINH DINH
The nice extreme of the effects of urbanization.
The nice extreme of the effects of urbanization.
We’ve all heard about young Japanese recluses, the hikikomori, but did you know that at least 43% of Japanese between 18 and 34 are virgins? A third had never even been on a single date.
“How did Japanese go from bathing together, men and women, young and old, to being mostly alone?” I asked. No one could answer.
Writer Mieko Kawakami said that Japan’s previous tranquility and equilibrium were achieved only with much sacrifice by women, and the continuing breakdown of traditions is actually freeing women from onerous roles. Probing this theme, she is working on a novel about a woman having a baby without a man.
Many Japanese now live alone, then often die without anyone noticing, sometimes for weeks. Family members don’t call or even email them. Through a friend, I was able to visit an octogenarian who rarely left his messy apartment. His is the generation that built contemporary Japan. In the same complex, we passed a door whose letter and peep slots had been sealed by tape, to prevent the dogged stench of putrefaction from seeping out. It’s a common sight there. With its stigma of sordid death, the apartment will be hard to rent, thus adding to the glut of empty houses in Japan.

Catholic Classical Education in the News
And "traditional" or "conservative" Roman Catholics may be happy by the fact.
Lyceum School in Cleveland: This School Choir May Have Just Made History
Having browsed the photos I noticed part of the choir was composed of teenaged-women, presumably students at the school; and I confirmed with the information provided at the website that it is indeed coeducational. Catholic coeducation at the secondary level is still alive and well, even among certain "traditionalist" and "conservative" Catholic circles.
This is an institutional failure to address the first principles of education.
I suppose this phenomena will not disappear until continuing collapse wipes out most of the schools.

Our Lady of Guadalupe in the Byzantine Rite
Should the supposed feast of the patroness of the Americas (rather than just Ibero-America) be observed by the BCA? Why isn't it sufficient for the United States to observe the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (or the Feast of the Conception of St. Anna)? It is not even clear to me that the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is important to the rest of Ibero-America, rather than just to Mexico. Was the declaration of Our Lady of Guadalupe as the patroness of the Americas by Pope John Paul II, in conjunction with the earlier "synod" of bishops, motivated by political or patriarchate concerns?

you can't talk about politics with friends, how close are you really?
In a more homogeneous America of 60 years ago, or more, when Americans were divided according to class, they could probably discuss politics more easily if they were united by class interests. (Democratic Party for the working class, Republican Party for the wealthy?)
But would there be much socialization in the big cities between the WASPs and the continental European immigrants (or the children of European immigrants)? And even if there was such socialization, would they talk about politics?
