Really good post today, thanks. Depressingly spot on, and yet the clarity takes a lot of the anxiety out of the reality. Gaslighting depends on confusion -- naming and explaining what is happening dissipates the fog. And, drawing from art in the form of visual streaming media is something I use constantly to cope.
A few of my recent discoveries:
No
2012 Pablo Larrain
An advertising executive comes up with a media campaign to defeat Pinochet in the 1988 Argentine referendum. - based on a true story
In the Loop
2009 Armando Iannucci
A political satire about a group of skeptical American and British operatives attempting to prevent a war between the two countries.
The Accountant (NOT the Ben Affleck film)
2001 Ray McKinnon
The O'Dell farm is on the rocks. A non-traditional accountant comes with a variety of ways to save the farm.
All very strange films, but useful to me. Also, the sickening 2001 Conspiracy by Frank Pierson.
