I thought they proved that this was entirely made up? That there was no record of the conversation and no evidence that Hepburn had served in the resistance?
Why does this read like it should end with " and then they all clapped" I don't feel like looking into the validity of this, because I don't really care. But if it is true, at least make it sound true.
Research done by the Airborne Museum near Arnhem Netherlands (dedicated to John Frost Airborne landing to liberate the eastern part of Netherlands) has found no proof she participated in the resistance. She may have carried some letters but that's about it. Her father was a German Agent loving in London, member of the BUF. Her Mother had visited Hitlers Nürnberg Reichsparteitag in 1935. It's not my place to say she was or wasn't with the resistance, but I have my doubts.
The "need", Bill, was to point out she was 11 years old at the time. Perhaps your "research" could have included that fact, along with all your implications that Hepburn herself was a Nazi sympathiser.
and yet strangely you said - "It's not my place to say she was or wasn't with the resistance, but I have my doubts." - no one is in any doubt what you were doing with your comments.
That would be Mickey Rooney. In the film world, when the camera operator requests a slow, creeping movement from the dolly operator, they request a Mickey Rooney (aka a "little creep"). The guy was a notorious shitbag
Something something how Rooney's wife caught him in his dressing room getting head from a 13-year-old Elizabeth Taylor. I'm using bad terminology as he is responsible - even though Taylor confessed it being consensual, which it isn't. Yeah, not the greatest person ever.
Same with Peter Sellers, who always seemed to go out of his way to perform racial stereotypes. He was so difficult to work with his character in Casino Royal just disappears.
He kept trying to play his role seriously, as he wanted to play Bond to the letter and not have the movie be a parody. He even started rewriting his scenes to get closer to the original book. He'd leave set for days and eventually stopped showing up. So they had to rework the film even more to make any kind of sense to the plot.
Yeah of course, lets just not consider that this is helpful for people with processing disorders, hearing impairments (subtitles) or visual impairments (AI voice over).
Every. Single. Video. This is always the top comment, groaning about subtitles. It's becoming almost as annoying as the subtitles. We get it, everyone gets it. We all fucking get it.
Tbh i have no problem.with it when theres nothing else going on in the video. But if theres like things happening or pictures shown that are relevant or something i absolutely hate it cause i can only concentrate on one thing. I can read pretty fast so this is just... "Idk how fast you can read you gonna get one word at a time so you can never pay attention to anything else but the appearing words, or miss them completely"
In ancient Rome those to the north (paler skin tones) where considered to be brutish strong but slow of mind, whilst the south ( darker skin tones) where considered shrewd and cunning but physically weak. With Romans obviously being the optimal mix of both. Racism des change over time, as what's considered a "race" does. Irish where sometimes not white. Hispanics are not white? But Spaniards are? It's almost like the whole thing is irrational, and just an excuse to justify being a cunt.
It’s like the school shootings in the States. For many people it seems a normal part of their lives. It is ‘accepted’. No real action is taken. This does not make it right though
I don't need to. The shit IS racist. Just because the dominant part of society condoned it doesn't make it not racist. I don't understand this need to soften hate and racism in the past.
If you don’t know that It is always “by modern standards” You have a lot of history to learn, grasshopper. The world did not begin at your birth or when you turned 12, grow up.
Sure, I mean the whole lack of a world war within the last twenty years might have something to do with a heavy dose of soldiers/resistance members having been to war not being common anymore, but you do you.
There are wars in Africa that have been ongoing since the 1970s, and others across Asia that have been going almost as long. What do you mean, war isn't common anymore?

Naturally, they steered clear of Mickey Rooney, who was very passionate about his time as a Japanese kamikaze pilot.

"Carried some letters". For a Resistance group. In Nazi occupied Europe. That by itself is worthy of high praise.

I'd almost go as far as to to say that maybe not all the names of an underground movement are on a list...

She was 11 years old at the time of the invasion. I'm sure you were a hero of epic proportions at that age, Bill.

Why the need for such a remark? We are not on Facebook, I am pointing out this clip may not be completely true to the fact.

I this is one of the instances where no one really cares if it's true or not, it's good story.
