. . .here are my thoughts.

If there was a breaking news story involving you, what would have happened?

The film Amsterdam begins with the following words plastered across the screen: 

A lot of this really happened. 

A lot of what occurs in every film really happened in one form or another sometime throughout history.  Even Dumbo flying through the air happened in a manner of speaking.  Strap an elephant into a harness under a helicopter and one can argue it’s flying.  Amsterdam made references to a plethora of historic happenings.  

  • Rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party 
  • Naval intelligence officer and MI6 agent working secret ops 
  • Racism among the military in World War I  
  • Forced sterilization clinics 
  • Secret organizations intent on overthrowing governments 
  • Prediction of World War II 
  • Gaslighting women into believing they have nonexistent medical conditions 
  • Self-experimentation with patent medicines 

Each of these things really happened.  What most certainly never happened—much to the chagrin of 12 Grammy runners-up—was Taylor Swift being pushed in front of, and killed by, a truck.  While that’s not as obvious a prognostication as a Second World War, it may yet come to pass.  I can imagine the headline: 

Unknown Blogger Lone Suspect as Seer of Swiftie’s Death
