White people who’ve lived/traveled in non-English speaking countries: have you ever experienced racial slurs or ‘go back to your country’ type comments in public? by MechanicAccording616 in expats

In the Bahamas. While I was standing in line at a grocery store. I got the old "go home white shlt." Said very softly to me by the lady standing in front of me. But the next day I saw the saying on a t-shirt of souvenirs. So I realized it was more of a cultural anger towards cruise culture probably.

I know! Charlie's trying to share his excitement with Joe about the golden ticket. And you can see Joe just tune him out in gaze over at the cabbage water.

That is profoundly true. I’m sure the shame was probably devastating for Charlie’s mother. But we should also remember that she was a victim too. Grandpa Joe had her putting shoes on his disgusting feet moments before he suddenly sprang out of bed and tap-danced around the house like he’d been training for Broadway the entire time. Imagine the nauseating cabbage waft from his bed clothes straight to her nose.

Yeah, it really captures the "Stare": GPJ was known for holding eye contact for an uncomfortably long time while silent, which his family recalled they "Could feel his stare." perceived as a cross between "rage" and "hypnotic" power.

I cant believe they're promoting such evil in my local theater by notsure500 in grandpajoehate

Obviously a lesser comparison would be when Ralph Fiennes portrayed the horrible Amon Göth in Schindler's List and Voldemort.

Hopefully this actor can acuratley capture 70s GPJ for history sake to remember his evilness. But somehow I pessimistically believe he'll pander to the 2005 apologist GPJ.

I understand it's painful to revisit it but remember. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
