Is it on a TV or cable station or on Netflix?

I will add this to my film list, if so!

*Thank you, homoe*

And the book The Girl with the Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier inspired the movie. I loved the book. It's very short, too.

Whoops went back up the thread a bit and see that I am repeating Homoe's comments. Sorry!

My Granny had ballerina prints up on the wall, next to the side of the bed I would sleep on. I would just lay there and image....

Saw it for the first time this morning at The NY Times in an article about a show at the Whitney Museum that explores the profound impact of Mexican painters that enriched American culture. I find it bold and brilliant.

Jacob Lawrence’s “Confrontation at the Bridge” commemorates the pivotal moment in 1965 when civil rights marchers faced (and overcame) racist police and townspeople at the Edmond Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. (Courtesy of Greg Kucera Gallery)

I'm not sure I can say this is my favorite, but I can say I'm going out of my way to catch this artists works in the coming week!

I like Banksy works of art which challenge social norms and how he brings attention to subjects which media tends to not privilege as important social changes not being challenged publicly.

Here is a couple I absolutely like (the Balloon, and the Robot)

I heart Banksy for his PSA Graffiti Art ❤️

Here is his 9th mural depicting a gorilla setting wild life free from the prison of zoos.
