In one of the documentaries most informative sequences, Ressa explains in matter-of-fact terms how Fake News and the spread of disinformation has become such a viral problem in the last four years. ThereРІР‚в„ўs no doubt He Who Must Not Be Named was an inspiring figure for the man with the nickname РІР‚СљDuterte Harry,РІР‚Сњ and his assault on the media and his critics throughout A Thousand Cuts is a vivid feeling of dР“В©jР“В vu for anyone who has spent more than 30 seconds watching the news since 2016.

RessaРІР‚в„ўs and her websiteРІР‚в„ўs coverage of President Duterte has overlapped with likely the phrase of the last four years of political discourse РІР‚вЂњ Fake News. As an outspoken critic of the president, Maria Ressa becomes the target for much of Duterte and his supportersРІР‚в„ў ire, which largely summarises the documentaryРІР‚в„ўs entire second half as Ressa becomes Public Enemy #1. Under his control is Senator Bato Dela Rosa, the guilty party for the quote that opened this review, and when you realise Dela Rosa is one of the many minions enacting his rule, you begin to see the dangerous direction in which the country is heading. The countryРІР‚в„ўs war on drugs is the foundation of President DuterteРІР‚в„ўs reign and his no holds barred, iron fist rule over it has resulted in over 20,000 drug related deaths by law enforcement over the last four years of his presidency. Diaz translates the severity of the situation the country finds itself in. Having very little (see: none at all) knowledge of the Filipono political climate, I was impressed at how efficiently and effectively director Ramona S. Her credentials speak for themselves, and come rubber stamped by some of the worldРІР‚в„ўs leading figures in the on-going battle for human rights, including British barrister, Amal Clooney, and her husband, George, who make brief appearances in the documentary.Р”Р„s all of the documentaryРІР‚в„ўs key players are revealed one by one, starting with Ressa and ending with President Rodrigo Duterte via social media sensation and popstar Mocha Uson, A Thousand Cuts is much less a documentary and more of a genuine political thriller with plot twists, surprise deaths, and a commitment to creating some of the most evil villains weРІР‚в„ўve seen in 2020 cinema. Maria Ressa, the subject of A Thousand Cuts, an infuriating, hard-hitting documentary spanning the last four years of Filipino politics, is a highly regarded journalist and CEO of Rappler, one of the PhilippinesРІР‚в„ў biggest websites, and a previous winner of TIMEРІР‚в„ўs Person of the Year. The kicker? The statement is completely true. You wouldnРІР‚в„ўt expect to hear it from a Filipino Senator on live television as part of his campaign drive. The above quote, a statement declaring an intent to kill in support of their president, might be expected from such political fanatics on their personal Parler accounts. The Grammy winnerРІР‚в„ўs seventh studio album, Lover, features 18 songs, including a collaboration with Brendon Urie and the Dixie Chicks.The last four years has seen a rise in the deifying of populist political figures the world over, spawning cartoonish, life-or-death support for their respective political icons and a vitriolic hatred for those who oppose their iconРІР‚в„ўs vision. I get drunk, but itРІР‚в„ўs not enough, cause the morning comes and youРІР‚в„ўre not my babyРІР‚В¦РІР‚Сњ ?РІР‚вЂњР”Р„ post shared by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson on at 10:54pm PDT РІР‚СљCause saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts, flashbacks waking me up.

And now, in the most surreal, what the fuck is even happening, full circle situation I find myself with a new song that will help me through heartbreak. I found the most comfort in Clean, a song about rebirth after love lost.

In the fall of 2014 when I was a certifiable basked case wandering around LA in pajamas heartbroken over the boy IРІР‚в„ўd left behind in New York, 1989 was there like a best friend with a bottle of tequila and a bear hug.

Ebbing and flowing through life a musical North Star in her catalog. IРІР‚в„ўve been listening to TaylorРІР‚в„ўs music since her very first album. There were rumors swirling around that Taylor had a song on РІР‚ВLoverРІР‚в„ў called DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS (written with Jack Antonoff) inspired by my film. A couple days ago I was searching РІР‚ВSomeone GreatРІР‚в„ў on twitter and found something curious.
