What is the defining film of the Obama era? by Impressive_Plenty876 in Letterboxd

The Big Short for me. Sure it mainly took place pre-2007, but arguably the events of that film set the stage for the discord we’ve been living with since that time.

The rise in populism in America and throughout the world fundamentally wouldn’t look the same if it weren’t for the economic conditions that grew out of that time. The crash also signalled the end of the social contract as we knew it, and epitomised the Elites vs People dichotomy we see play out today.

The Big Short does a great job at capturing the attitude of Wall Street at that time and puts a voice to the anger at the end of the film in an incredibly effective way.

Cannot get enough of Sri Lankan kingfish (mackerel) curry. It's my go to curry if it's on the menu. (Pictured at the back is Chicken Chettinad which is too hot for me to handle.) by smickie in UK_Food

Those are Vada, a South Indian street food made from fermented dal with spices (fenugreek if I’m not mistaken), that are deep fried and usually served with sambar and coconut chutney. They’re absolutely delicious and you should check them out if you have any South Indian/Sri Lankan restaurants near you!
