A bit too many similarities between Trump and Nixon for my taste, but that is obviously Steven Spielberg's point.

When I was a teenager I was sceptic about all things seventies, but this song made me realise that Stevie Wonder was dope anyway! It is about Nixon, (with big brother on the B-side! which is also interesting)

Sort:  

I expect the movie was planned before Trump, but you can't help seeing the similarities. Stevie Wonder is a genius

They do say here that it was made in under a year " ... because of the subject matter ... "

And yes, he is a genius. I guess that young people are so busy being grown ups that they adopt quite a lot of rigid, pre-defined opinions. A friend of my parents gave me a record with a girl in a bikini as a joke present from a large LP-collection he had bought - it was a Motown compilation and the song was on that... and then music trumped prejudice.

Interesting. I bet Trump will love it if this movie gets loads of awards :)

Such strange and worrying times with that giant, spoiled baby leading the US into the abyss.
