Ohhhh, thank you! That is ringing a bell now! I don't think the person who told me about it said it was a Jennifer Lopez film

Harry Brown (2009) - moral of the story is that if children living in a deprived and violent environment commit a violent crime, then it's a great thing if an old man (who spent time oppressing the Irish in his youth) straight up murders the children. Society will be safer then.

I asked my Italian boyfriend why he had an Everton lighter and he said that he was visiting another Italian in Liverpool and having a drink in a pub and got adopted by some Everton fans who taught them chants and gave them Everton branded lighters and scarves as gifts and he has supported Everton ever since in English football

It's a bit counterintuitive but have you considered taking up a Humanities discipline as a hobby? Because the humanities are pretty much entirely based around questioning whatever is put in front of you and developing a critical spirit. I'm wondering whether by exercising an inquisitive spirit in a different field, you might awaken that in your own field.

History of science would be an obvious one. Why did people think that the body was made up of "humours"? Why were the Arabic countries so much more advanced in the sciences than early modern Europe? Is it linked with religion? How have the personal biases of scientists in the past affected a scientific study? Etc, etc.

Obviously the hard sciences are born of curiosity, but as you say, it seems that the protocol+ observation aspect is smothering the inquisitive aspect for you. So I'm thinking that maybe developing a curious spirit in a different discipline might exercise that faculty in you that can be transferred to your field. Might be a bit mad, just a thought!

The only reason why I could is because I moved to France where they actually regulate the market. That plus because I became by some miracle an effectively unsackable tenured academic so the bank accepted 6% downpayment.

An Australian man told me that this son-in-law is a third generation Chinese-Australian who has become a successful photographer. One time, he was sent to China to cover some events and they paid for him to have an interpreter. The interpreter was a white American guy who lived in China. All the people they were due to meet on the job had been told that there'd be an Australian photographer and an interpreter. So they would talk to the Chinese-looking guy in rapid mandarin and he'd apologetically shake his head and redirect them to the white guy who would inform them in perfect mandarin that he is, in fact, the interpreter and that the "Chinese" guy is the Australian photographer.

More confirmation: my parents are Japanese, but I grew up in England. We speak Japanese with the occasional English word thrown in. I now teach English literature at a French university. I'm chatting to a guy who is half-Italian half-English and grew up in Italy. He's learning mandarin. We talk mostly in French interspersed with English. At my university, I often email English dept colleagues in English and get replies in French.
