The daily news is overflowing with facts like these, no need to exasperate them artificially with a script awarded at festivals that mixes the Black Lives Matter with the college comedy as "Porky's" (Clark 1981; "Animal House" would have been of an intolerable anarchy) and the youthful buddy movie like "Good Will Hunting".… Expand
