DEATH NOTE NETFLIX REVIEW | CRÍTICA | レビュー {ENG SUB + 日本語字幕}• Vivian Uru - Duration: 8:59.
Hey guys, genki?
This is Vivian from vivian uru channel.
Welcome!
Have you watched the Netflix's adaptation of Death Note?
Since you guys have requested, today I'm going to talk about the Netflix's Death Note live action, okay? ^^
If you haven't watching this movie yet and don't like spoilers,,
I recommend you to watch this video later.
However, if you are here to check out my opinion,, get yourself comfortable
and come with me cause things are about to get tense lol! xD Intro!
For the people who doesn't know it,, Death Note is literally the note of death!
Knowing the face and the full name of the person,
all you need to do is write this person's name in the note and he/she will die.
The Death Note ended up in the hands of a brilliant high school student called Light.
Tired of impunity,, he decides to make justice with his own hands,
starting to kill lots of criminals with his Death Note.
He managed to reduce the criminality and people started to call the "secret punisher" as Kira.
Meanwhile, one of the best detective known by the name of L
who got interested in the case and decides that he is going to capture Kira.
I've watched the anime, the Japanese and Netflix's live action movies
and there's no doubt that there are many changes in both movies.
Although, the movie that gave me the feeling that I'm watching an adaptation of Death Note,
was definitely the Japanese live action.
The first time I saw the Netflix's live action,
I confess that I ended up sleeping lol xP
Even though I was aware of it was an adaptation to an American teen movie,,
I still had a little hope in my heart that it was going to be a good movie.
My hope disappeared in the beginning of the movie though :/
So now I'm going to tell you the things that I didn't like on this Netflix's Death Note live action movie, okay?
Shinigami's eyes!
Obtaining the eyes of the Shinigami, you get to see everyone's lifetime and full name.
In exchange of that, you have to give the half of your lifetime.
They simply excluded this feature that has so many importance to the plot of the story..
which made me really sad :(
Silly Light!
I guess the director wanted to give Light a more "someone like us" personality,,
since I didn't see the genius, cold, scheming, perfectionist, manipulator Light like in the anime..
How come a genius choose to kill at first, people who actually are connected to him?! Tell me! xP
Another thing that bothered me a lot is that he was walking around with the Death Note without hiding it..
And why the heck he told about the Death Note to someone he barely knew?!
I truly can't understand him xP
He was lucky that the girl was even more psycho than him lol
if it was someone with a common sense,, she'd run away in an instant haha!
But anyways,, the original Kira would do anything to hide the Death Note,,
the people involved were all chosen by him meticulously!
Except Misa Misa, of course xD
You can curse me but I do love the original Misa xD
I hate how Light treated her,,
it doesn't matter that she has got her revenge of her family's deaths through Kira,,
she shouldn't have accepted the way Light treated her.
The Misa who turned into Mia is practically the opposite of Misa.
Strong and manipulative, I don't understand why she wanted to stay with Light..
even after he confessed that he has killed someone,,
and then proving the power of the Death Note in front of her?! o.O
But yeah, even after all those irrelevant scenes of this two making love..
they didn't convince me as a couple :s
Not to mention that Mia seemed to have much more features of Kira than Light..
I can see her writing the name of her boyfriend on Death Note for a "greater purpose",,
but I can't see him writing her name,,
not this Light :x
Light's tricks!
I truly missed the tricks that Light used to do to not get caught!
Like the desk with fake bottom,,
The angle of the door handle
and the graphite in the door to see if someone entered in his room..
or the watch with a little piece of a Death Note's page..
or the potate chips with a mini tv and so on!
Those were such genial ideas
and showed how genius and cautious Light was!
It was such a pity that I didn't see nothing similar in this movie :/
Emotional L!
It was really bizarre to see Netflix's L appearing on TV to provoke Kira.
It was even more bizarre to see him out of his mind chasing Kira with a gun!
Even though he said before that he doesn't hold a gun, much less would kill someone..
The only things that match with the original work,
is the fact that he loves sweets
and that he is kinda eccentric hehe!
Where are the intellectual battles?
The most phenomenal part of the original work which was the intellectual battle between Kira and L,
simply was not developed in this movie. ¬¬
They prefered to add a bunch of grotesque deaths
instead of investing in the battle of the 2 genius..
Not investing in this battle,, was the biggest sin in my opinion.. :/
Meeting the Shinigami!
It was the most dreadful thing that I saw! x3
If it was settled to be funny,, it didn't work with me..
and I tend to find things funny easily xD
It was supposed to be such an important scene,,
and that scream,, are you kidding me?!
It took off all the tension of the scene,, turning it into something ridiculous.. :/
Ryuk!
In the anime and Japanese live action, Ryuk always says that he is neutral
and doesn't influence in the acts of the Death Note's holders.
However, the Netflix's Ryuk, even though he says that he is neutral,,
it was him who made Light use the Death Note,
not to mention that he was giving Light orders to kill people :P
Neutral,, my ass! :P
But WIllem Dafoe did an incredible job as Ryuk!
Grotesque deaths!
The way people die was NEVER the focus of the original storyline,,
I found it so unnecessary and exaggerated what they did on this movie..
It seemed like the people who have made this movie were more busy talking about
how the deaths were going to be,,
than worry if they were making a decent movie with at least a few essence of the original work..
Watari!
Watari being the right hand of L,,
why the heck he didn't use a fake name in this live action?
How Kira managed to control Watari,,
since he didn't write his full name on the Death Note?
Does anyone know how he did that? I didn't get it at all lol!
If you can explain to me that part, do please leave a comment! =]
Sound track!
It has been a while that I haven't listened to such an odd sound track like this one lol!
It didn't match with the scenes at all,, and it kinda bothered me x3
I hate to criticize other people's work,,
so I tried to find things that I liked in this movie.
Besides the voice of Willem Dafoe as Ryuk,
if there was something that I liked, was the refined cinematography for sure!
There was some really cool and interesting takes
and I found it greater than the Japanese live action.
But that's all hehe!
It's such a pity that they didn't manage to adapt Death Note which is such an incredible work!
The original work makes you want to reflect and discuss about so many things..
but the same thing doesn't happen with the Netflix movie for our sadness..
Maybe the movie would not be so criticized and hated if it was a new story with new characters?
I think that for those who never watched the anime or read the manga was easier to sympathize with the work.
But that's it, when you know how splendid the story is.. it's hard to be satisfied with the version of Netflix, right?
How about you? What's your thoughts about this movie?
In case you have liked the movie, let me know what make you dig the movie..
And to the people who didn't like the movie,,
let me know the parts that made you dislike this adaptation, okay?
Let's chat, my people! xD
That's all for today's video. Thank you so much for watching! And I hope to see you on the next video, okay?
If you enjoyed the content,,
Do please help me out to grow our space,
liking
or sharing the video,
or subscribing to the channel, okay?
I'm counting on your help hehe <3
Big kisses and mata ne~! See you on the next video! :D

Tyrese Gibson Blames Dwayne Johnson For Fast And The Furious 9 Delay on Instagram - Duration: 2:50.
Some Fast and the Furious stars start to show issues with each other.
Tyrese Gibson accused Dwayne Johnsen of delaying the next movie.
Today, Tyrese addressed The Rock on Instagram because The Rock apparently does not respond
to his text messages: "#PSA (Public service announcement) Congratulations
to @TheRock and your brother in law aka 7 bucks producing partner @hhgarcia41(Hiram
Garcia) for making the fast and the furious franchise about YOU - And like you, DJ even
if they call I will not be deleting this post - Gn folks see you in 2020 April #FastFamily
right?
Nah..... it's about #TeamDewayne #3yrs will it be worth the wait?
#NoShaw just Hobbs will this be another #BayWatch?
Guys guys just relax I'm just a passionate film critic"
Rumors are that BayWatch, where The Rock plays the lead, is the cause of the delay of The
Fast and the Furious 9.
The movie had a release date in April 2019.
But that's shifted to 2020.
Friction began in Fast 8 when The Rock called a few of his male colleagues "chicken shit"
and "candy-ass".
"This is my final week of shooting #FastAndFurious8.
There's no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one.
An incredible hard working crew.
UNIVERSAL has been great partners as well.
My female co-stars are always amazing and I love 'em.
My male co-stars however are a different story.
Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't.
The ones that don't are too chicken shit to do anything about it anyway.
Candy asses.
When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I'm not acting in some of these
scenes and my blood is legit boiling - you're right.
Bottom line is it'll play great for the movie and fits this Hobbs character that's embedded
in my DNA extremely well.
The producer in me is happy about this part😉.
Final week on FAST 8 and I'll finish " Who he means exactly remains vague.
Michelle Rodriguez has ever threatened to leave the Fast and the Furious.
"F8 is out digitally today, I hope they decide to show some love to the women of the franchise
on the next one.
Or I just might have to say goodbye to a loved franchise.
It's been a good ride & Im grateful for the opportunity the fans & studio have provided
over the years...
One Love" It seems since Paul Walker is no longer among
us that cracks begin to emerge.
Do you think The Fast Family will break apart?
What do you think?

I'll be back on Monday, enjoy your weekend.

11 things to know about this year's Harvest Moon - Duration: 5:08.
11 things to know about this year's Harvest Moon
This year's full moon closest to the autumnal equinox rises in all its giant, gorgeous glory on October 5,
but its waxing and waning put on a good show too.
Each year as summer in the Northern Hemisphere slowly slips into autumn,
we have the September and October full moons to shine their luminous light on the change of seasons.
When the September full moon occurs closer to the autumnal equinox, which fell on September 22 this year,
it's called the Harvest Moon.
But if the October full moon is closer to the date, she takes the title.
All full moons are special, but the Harvest Moon has some unique features that make this month's moon a marvelous
must-see.
1.
This year's Harvest Moon will be officially full at 2:40 p.m.
Eastern Daylight Time on October 5 – this is when it is directly opposite of the sun.
But will appear full for a day or two before and after.
2.
In the 80 years between 1970 and 2050, the October full moon will only claim the Harvest Moon title in 18 of those
years altogether.
The last time was in 2009, and the next time will be in 2020.
According to Space.com, October Harvest Moons come every three years on average,
although as many as eight years can elapse between them.
3.
Next year, we'll be back to the more usual schedule, with the Harvest Moon occurring on September 24,
a mere two days after the 2018 autumnal equinox.
4.
Harvest moons can happen as early as September 8 or as late as October 7, making this year's relatively late.
5.
Sometimes the full moon happens on the equinox itself, the Harvest Moon last perfectly coincided with the autumnal
equinox in 2010, and will do so again in 2029.
6.
According to early Native American tradition, the calendar was marked by cycles of the moon and thus,
each one has a seasonal significance and name.
The October moon has been variously known as the Full Hunter's Moon, the Travel Moon, and the Dying Moon.
7.
The autumnal equinox full moon is called the Harvest Moon because its unique features traditionally helped farmers.
The term dates back to at least the 18th century, according to the OED.
8.
During the rest of the year, the moon rises up to a full 73 minutes later each successive day of its cycle;
but the Harvest Moon rises in as little as 23 minutes later each day.
This happens because during this time of year, the moon's orbit is more nearly parallel to the horizon and thus its
relationship to the eastern horizon does not change much from day to day.
9.
While all full moons rise at sunset, the fact that the Harvest Moon has a shorter rising lag on successive days means
that we get what appears to be a full moon rising near sunset for more days than usual;
this gave farmers a "sunset extension" of sorts, which went to good use during the very busy time of harvest.
10.
The sunset-moonrise concurrence also simply makes for a spectacular spectacle, which we are treated to for several days.
Low-hanging moons at sunset are reddened by clouds and dust, giving them that surreal "giant floating pumpkin" effect
that so perfectly ushers in the fall.
11.
And about the giant part; the Harvest Moon is like the moon poster child for the so-called "moon illusion," in which a
horizon-hovering moon appears to be gigantic.
The moon actually doesn't change size, it's just a trick of the eye – one theory suggests that in relation to
terrestrial objects the moon appears much larger than when it's floating in the vast heavens.
Though, it's a bit more complicated than that, as you can see in the video below.

Need to Know | October 5, 2017 | Full Program - Duration: 25:31.
COMING UP ON NEED TO KNOW...IT HAPPENED MORE THAN 4 DECADES AGO
- SO WHY DOES ITS LEGACY STILL HAUNT US TO THIS DAY?
UNCOVERING THE ATTICA PRISON UPRISING AND HOW IT IMPACTED THE
CURRENT STATE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE.
THAT - JUST AHEAD.
ALSO ON THE SHOW - HE'S THE RADIO PERSONALITY EVERYONE
CALLS "BROTHER."
AND HE'S SHARING STORIES ABOUT A BROTHERHOOD THAT SAW HIM THROUGH
SOME OF THE BEST OF TIMES AND THE WORST OF TIMES.
REFLECTIONS OF VIETNAM WITH BROTHER WEASE.
STAY WITH US, "NEED TO KNOW" STARTS RIGHT NOW.
(MUSIC)
IT WAS ONE OF THE BLOODIEST PRISON UPRISINGS IN OUR NATION'S
HISTORY.
AND DECADES LATER, SOME OF THE QUESTIONS SURROUNDING WHAT
REALLY HAPPENED IN THE ATTICA CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
REMAIN UNANSWERED.
HOWEVER, NEW FINDINGS WERE UNCOVERED AFTER YEARS OF
SEARCHING AND DIGGING BY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN PROFESSOR
AND HISTORIAN -- HEATHER ANN THOMPSON.
SHE REVEALS HER FINDINGS IN HER 2017 PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING
BOOK: "BLOOD IN THE WATER: THE ATTICA UPRISING OF 1971 AND
ITS LEGACY."
DURING A RECENT VISIT TO ROCHESTER,
THOMPSON JOINED ME HERE IN THE STUDIO TO DISCUSS THE WARNING
SIGNS IN ATTICA THAT STILL EXIST TODAY.
TAKE A LOOK...
(HELENE) FIRST HEATHER, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 2017
PULITZER PRIZE WIN FOR BLOOD IN THE WATER.
AND I HAVE TO ASK YOU WHAT WAS IT THAT FIRST MADE YOU
INTERESTED IN THE STORY?
I WANNA KNOW WHAT WAS IT ABOUT ATTICA THAT TUGGED THE HISTORIAN
AND THE WRITER IN YOU?
YOU ARE A CIVIL RIGHTS SCHOLAR, SO I KNOW YOU ARE RENOWNED FOR
YOUR WORK WHEN IT COMES TO THE HISTORY OF MASS INCARCERATION
AND POLICING.
BUT WHAT WAS IT THAT MADE YOU SAY I WILL DEVOTE MORE THAN 10
YEARS OF MY LIFE, REALLY, TO RESEARCHING THIS STORY?
(HEATHER THOMPSON) WELL IT WAS IN SOME RESPECTS COMPLETELY BY
ACCIDENT, WHICH IS TO SAY I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
PRISON, I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PRISONS IN AMERICA OR
INCARCERATION AT THE TIME THAT I DECIDED TO DO THE BOOK.
I CAME TO IT BECAUSE AS YOU SAY, I WAS A CIVIL RIGHTS HISTORIAN,
AND THIS WAS A CIVIL RIGHTS UPRISING BEHIND BARS SO I
THOUGHT THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING AND WANTED TO DO A
BOOK ABOUT IT.
ONE OF THE REASONS THERE HADN'T BEEN A BOOK IS THAT THE STORY
WAS ONGOING AND THE STATE OF NEW YORK HAD MADE IT VIRTUALLY
IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE RECORDS TO TELL THE STORY.
SO WHAT BEGAN AS I THINK I'M GOING TO JUST DO A HISTORY BOOK
ON ATTICA REALLY BECAME A 13 YEAR ODYSSEY TO BOTH TELL THAT
STORY BUT REALLY TO THINK ABOUT PRISONS IN AMERICA IN A NEW WAY,
NEW TO ME CERTAINLY AND I THINK NEW TO A LOT OF THE READERS.
(HELENE) THE PICTURE THAT YOU PAINT OF ATTICA AT THE TIME OF
BLOOD IN THE WATER IS IT'S 1971, THE CONDITIONS WERE HORRIFIC.
INMATES WERE SEGREGATED BY RACE.
RACIAL HARASSMENT TOOK PLACE PREDOMINATELY BY AN ALL-WHITE
GUARD STAFF.
HIGHER PAYING JOBS PREDOMINATELY WENT TO WHITE INMATES.
MEDICAL CARE WAS HORRENDOUS.
INMATES WERE GIVEN INSUFFICIENT SANITARY ITEMS AND ALLOWED TO
SHOWER ONCE A WEEK.
AND THE LIST REALLY DOES GO ON AND ON.
YOU MENTIONED THIS WAS AN ODYSSEY FOR YOU IN PART BECAUSE
OF THE FACT THAT RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS IN NEW YORK STATE WERE
REALLY KEPT FROM PEOPLE TRYING TO INVESTIGATE
THE STORY FURTHER.
WHY WAS THAT ALLOWED TO HAPPEN AND WHY WAS IT SO DIFFICULT TO
GET SOME OF THIS INFORMATION?
(THOMPSON) WELL FIRST IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT HAD HAPPENED BEFORE THE UPRISING WAS
THAT-CONDITIONS WEREN'T JUST BAD FOR PRISONERS, BY THE WAY,
BUT ALSO BAD FOR A LOT OF THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS.
AND BOTH GROUPS HAD REALLY BEEN TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THE
SYSTEM TO GET THIS ADDRESSED.
WRITING LETTERS TO STATE SENATORS,
THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS WERE MEETING WITH THEIR UNION REPS,
SO WHEN THIS ALL SORT OF EXPLODES,
FIRST OF ALL I THINK IT WAS VERY PREVENTABLE.
BUT SECONDLY, WHEN IT DOES EXPLODE,
THERE'S A REAL LINE IN THE HAND DRAWN BY NEW YORK STATE,
WHOSE GOVERNOR AT THE TIME WAS NELSON ROCKEFELLER.
SO EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NEGOTIATIONS FOR 4 DAYS AND 4
NIGHTS, AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE MULTIPLE AVENUES TO A
PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT, THE RETAKING OF THIS PRISON BY STATE
TROOPERS WAS BRUTAL.
AND BECAUSE OF THAT, BECAUSE OF THE REAL CARNAGE IN ATTICA,
39 MEN SHOT TO DEATH, BOTH HOSTAGE GUARD AND CIVILIAN
HOSTAGES AND PRISONERS, 128 MEN IN TOTAL SHOT SO SEVERELY THEY
WERE PERMANENTLY MAIMED AND WOUNDED.
SO THE REASONS THE RECORDS WERE DIFFICULT TO GET IT THAT IT'S A
STORY THAT LIVES ON.
PEOPLE ARE STILL TRAUMATIZED BY IT.
FRANKLY THERE'S NO STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON MURDER.
THERE IS IN ESSENCE A LOT AT STAKE IN THE TELLING OF THIS
STORY EVEN THOUGH IRONICALLY, THE SURVIVORS ARE NOT INTERESTED
IN CURRENT LITIGATION, THEY JUST WANT THE STORY.
THEY WANT CLOSURE.
SO I THINK THEY SHOULD OPEN A RECKONS,
BUT THE JOURNEY TO MAKE THAT POINT WAS DIFFICULT.
(HELENE) AND YOU'VE BEEN TO ATTICA.
(THOMPSON) YES.
(HELENE) WHAT WAS THAT EXPERIENCE LIKE FOR YOU,
AND WHEN YOU LOOKED AROUND AT THE CONDITIONS,
DO YOU DRAW PARALLELS TO HOW THINGS EXIST TODAY WHEN IT COMES
TO PRISONS AROUND THE COUNTRY?
(THOMPSON) FRANKLY, ATTICA IS A VERY UNUSUAL PLACE IN THE SENSE
IT IS SORT OF FROZEN IN TIME.
WHEN I WENT IN, I THINK IT WAS 2004,
AND WHAT WAS SO STARTLING WAS IT COULD HAVE BEEN 1971.
EVEN UP ON THE CATWALK WHICH SORT OF OVERSEES THE YARD,
THERE WERE STILL BULLET MARKS, CHIPS IN THE CEMENT FROM
THE RETAKING.
SO ATTICA IN SOME SENSE IS A TRAUMA SITE EVEN TODAY,
AND MORE BROADLY PEOPLE FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE
CONDITIONS AT ATTICA AND THE CONDITIONS NATIONALLY AT PRISONS
ARE WORSE THAN THEY WERE IN 1971 AND MY BOOK TRIES TO MAKE THE
CASE THAT THAT'S NOT COINCIDENTAL,
THAT IT ACTUALLY HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT WE GOT
ATTICA WRONG.
WE MISUNDERSTOOD THE MESSAGES WERE COMING OUT OF ATTICA AND
TOOK FROM IT AN EXCUSE TO GET MORE PUNITIVE RATHER THAN
FINALLY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE OF HORRENDOUS PRISON CONDITIONS.
(HELENE) HEATHER, HOW ARE THEY WORSE NOW THAN THEY WERE
WORSE THEN?
SOME PEOPLE WERE MAYBE SURPRISED WATCHING TO HEAR THAT.
(THOMPSON) YEAH!
FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE FAR MORE PEOPLE IN PRISON NOW THAN WE
EVER HAD.
IT WAS REALLY IN 1972 RIGHT AFTER ATTICA THAT THE PRISON
POPULATION IN THE COUNTRY JUST EXPLODED.
SO WE NOW HAVE MORE PEOPLE BEHIND BARS THAN ANY OTHER
COUNTRY ON THE PLANET.
AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE THERE FOR A MYRIAD OF REASONS THAT THEY
NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE IN 1971.
SO FIRST OF ALL WE'RE CRIMINALIZING PEOPLE MORE.
WE'RE LOCKING UP PEOPLE MORE.
THE CONDITIONS INSIDE ARE MORE OVERCROWDED,
MUCH MORE USE OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT,
REPEATED USE OF VIOLENCE IN PRISONS HAS MUCH ESCALATED
FROM THE 70S.
SO ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT PEOPLE ARE DOING MUCH MORE TIME,
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE IN FOR EXAMPLE WHERE I AM FROM , MICHIGAN,
PEOPLE ARE DOING 80% MORE TIME IN ONE DECADE THAN THEY WERE FOR
THE SAME CRIME A DECADE BEFORE.
THIS IS ALL POLITICAL, RIGHT?
THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE CRIME RATE.
IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE STREETS.
IT'S REALLY ABOUT HOW WE DEAL WITH SOCIAL ILLS IN
THIS COUNTRY.
(HELENE) AND JUST TO PAINT OF THE NUMBERS,
YOU MENTION THIS IN THE BOOK, IN 1971 NEW YORK HAD
12, 500 PRISONERS.
NEAR THE START OF THE 21ST CENTURY,
THERE WERE NEARLY 74,000 MEN AND WOMEN.
AND AS YOU WRITE, OVERWHELMINGLY BLACK AND BROWN CITIZENS OF THE
STATE, LOCKED IN NEW YORK PENAL INSTITUTIONS.
(THOMPSON) RIGHT.
AND ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS THAT SO MANY CITIZENS TODAY,
ORDINARY VOTERS WHO HAVE ALL GOOD INTENTIONS,
THEY LOOK AT THAT DATA AND SAY WELL MY GOD,
THAT'S PRETTY ALARMING, BUT ISN'T THAT WHERE THE CRIME IS,
OR ISN'T THAT THE PROBLEM?
AND WE KNOW FROM OUR STUDIES, OUR EXTENSIVE STUDIES OF THIS
THAT IT'S MUCH MORE TO DO WITH WHERE POLICING RESOURCES GO.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, WE KNOW MORE WHITE FOLKS SELL AND USE DRUGS
BUT YOU'D NEVER KNOW THAT BY THE STATISTICS IN THE PRISON.
SO PRISONS BECOME OVER THE COURSE OF THE 20TH CENTURY,
AND RALLY AFTER ATTICA, THE PLACE WHERE WE THROW ALL OF OUR
SOCIAL PROBLEMS AND SORT OF WEIRDLY EXPECT THAT THEY'LL
GET BETTER.
IT'S ABOUT THE ONLY INSTITUTE IN OUR SOCIETY WITH ABOUT A 70%
FAILURE RATE AND YET WE JUST KEEP THROWING MONEY, MONEY,
MONEY AT IT AND WE DON'T ASK TO SEE INSIDE.
WE LET IT ALL HAPPEN BEHIND CLOSED DOORS AND JUST TRUST THAT
IT'S WORKING WHEN THE DATA SHOWS IT'S A DISMAL FAILURE.
(HELENE) WELL THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY
1, 300 INMATES IN ATTICA AT THE TIME OF THE 1971 UPRISING.
YOU TALKED TO A NUMBER OF THESE INMATE.
WHO WERE THESE MEN BACK IN 1971?
I WANNA KNOW WHAT WERE THEIR STORIES, WHY WERE THEY THERE?
(THOMPSON) YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE TODAY, IT WAS A REAL MIXED BAG.
WE HEAR THE TERM ATTICA, AT LEAST NATIONALLY,
OH THE WORST OF THE WORST.
AND OF COURSE IN ANY INSTITUTION THERE ARE A LOT OF FOLKS WHO
HAVE COMMITTED A LOT OF HARM TO SOCIETY, TO INDIVIDUALS,
BUT IN 1971, LIKE TODAY, THERE WERE PEOPLE YOU'D BE SURPRISED.
THERE WERE 19 YEAR OLD PAROLE VIOLATORS.
THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO HAD NO BUSINESS BEING IN A MAXIMUM
SECURITY PRISON.
A LOT OF VIETNAM VETS SUFFERING DRUG ADDICTION AND A LOT OF
FOLKS WITH MENTAL ILLNESS.
AND SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THAT GROUP OF MEN AND WE HEAR
STORIES, I THINK EVEN THE READERS OF THIS BOOK WERE VERY
SURPRISED TO SAY, WOW, THESE ARE VERY HUMAN STORIES.
ONE OF THE OPENING STORIES IN THE BOOK IS ACTUALLY ABOUT AN
OLD MAN, HIS FIRST NIGHT IN THE YARD,
AND THERE'S JUST TEARS COMING DOWN HIS FACE AND WHEN HIS
FRIEND SAYS WHAT'S WRONG, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING,
AND HE'S JUST STARING IN AMAZEMENT AT THE SKY.
HE SAYS I HAVEN'T SEEN THE STARS IN 22 YEARS.
SO IT WAS SORT OF THIS VERY EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR
THESE MEN.
THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GET OUT.
THEY WANTED TO BE TREATED AS HUMAN BEINGS WITHIN.
(HELENE) SO YOU EXPLAINED THAT THE UPRISING WAS NOT
PREMEDITATED.
HOW DID IT HAPPEN?
AND HOW DID IT TRANSITION FROM THIS REALLY UNINTENDED UPRISING
TO A TAKEOVER, WITH PRISONERS SAYING HEY WE'LL NEGOTIATE.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR ARRANGEMENTS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.
(THOMPSON) WELL IT WAS A, IT'S A COMPLICATED STORY BUT IN SHORT
WHAT HAPPENED WAS A DAY MUCH LIKE MANY OTHER DAYS THAT HAD
HAPPENED, WHICH WAS THAT THERE HAD BEEN A CONFLICT BETWEEN THE
PRISONERS AND THE C.O.S, THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS,
BUT IN THIS CASE, PRISON MANAGEMENT,
USUALLY TONE DEAF TO THEIR OWN EMPLOYEES HAD BEEN TELLING THEM
AND THE PRISONERS, MADE A DECISION TO LOCK SOME DOORS,
TO NOT ALLOW THE MEN TO GO OUT TO THE REC YARD AFTER BREAKFAST
AS WOULD HAVE BEEN COMMON.
BUT THEY NEVER TOLD THE C.O.S, NEVER TOLD THE PRISONERS,
SO PANIC ENSUED, SO EVERYONE WAS VERY FEARFUL,
AND IN THAT PANIC CAME WHAT WE WOULD REALLY THINK OF AS A RIOT.
IT WAS COMPLETE CHAOS, A GATE OPENS UNEXPECTEDLY BECAUSE OF A
FAULTY WELD IN IT AND PRETTY SOON THE PRISON IS JUST CHAOS
BUT WHAT IS REMARKABLE IS AS YOU POINT OUT IS THAT THERE HAD
ALREADY BEEN SO MANY DISCUSSIONS IN THE PRISON ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF BEING HEARD, THAT SO MANY LETTERS HAD BEEN
WRITTEN, SO MANY MEETINGS HAD BEEN HELD THAT SAID,
WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING, THAT REMARKABLY QUICKLY THE MEN SAID
LOOK WE NEED TO MOVE TO ONE OPEN SPACE SO PEOPLE CAN BE SAFER WE
NEED TO BRING IN THE MEDIA SO THAT THEY CAN HEAR OUR STORIES,
AND WE WANT TO BRING IN OBSERVERS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
STATE OF NEW YORK BARGAINS WITH US IN GOOD FAITH.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS MADE IT REALLY A HISTORIC REBELLION
BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WAS BROUGHT
INSIDE OF A PRISON AND FRANKLY WAS HORRIFIED BY WHAT
IT LEARNED.
(HELENE) AND THEN ANOTHER TRANSITION TAKES PLACE AND THAT
IS FROM WHAT WAS NEGOTIATIONS TO GOVERNOR NELSON ROCKEFELLER
SAYING IN SO MANY WORDS, "WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THIS PRISON BACK
BY FORCE."
SOMETHING THAT THE OBSERVERS WHO WERE THERE SAID THIS WOULD LEAD
TO (TOGETHER) A MASSACRE (HELENE) EXACTLY (THOMPSON)
THEY WERE CLEAR (HELENE) SO IS THIS THAT MOMENT WHEN THINGS
BECAME VIOLENT AND DEADLY?
THIS TAKE OVER?
(THOMPSON) YES, AND IN PART THAT THIS IS WHAT THE CORE OF THE
BOOK IS, AND PEOPLE MAY BE SURPRISED THAT ONLY THE FIRST
THIRD OF THE BOOK IS ACTUALLY ABOUT THE UPRISING,
AND THAT WAS A SURPRISE TO ME THE MAJORITY OF THE BOOK IS
ACTUALLY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE 40 YEARS AFTERWARDS BECAUSE
ON THAT FATEFUL DAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH,
46 YEARS AGO THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
SPECIFICALLY GOVERNOR ROCKEFELLER MAKE A DECISION TO
TAKE THIS PRISON BY FORCE SENDING IN STATE TROOPERS WHO
FOR DAYS HAD BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE PRISON BEING FED ON RUMORS BY
THE FBI, GETTING THEM RILED UP GETTING THEM ANGRY,
AND PASSING OUT WEAPONS INDISCRIMINATELY AND THAT'S WHO
HE SENT IN, AND SO UNSURPRISINGLY PERHAPS,
THAT'S WHERE THE MASSACRE OCCURS,
THAT'S WHERE THERE'S A BLOODBATH,
AND IT WAS IN THE NEXT 40 YEARS THAT WE NOW KNOW FROM THE BOOK
THAT WE DIDN'T LEARN WHAT HAD HAPPENED BECAUSE THAT
ADMINISTRATION ACTUALLY PARTICIPATED IN A REALLY
DELIBERATE COVER UP OF THE EVENTS.
THERE'S A SERIES OF MEETINGS IN ROCKEFELLER'S POOL HOUSE WHERE
THEY ESSENTIALLY GET THEIR STORIES STRAIGHT,
THE HEAD OF THE STATE POLICE ARE THERE,
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IS THERE, ROCKEFELLER'S MEN ARE THERE AND
WE DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF THIS IN PART BECAUSE THOSE RECORDS
ARE SEALED.
(HELENE) PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON IN HIS RESPONSE TO THE DECISION
TO NOT GRANT AMNESTY, TO FORGET THE NEGOTIATIONS,
AND TO TAKE THIS PRISON BACK BY FORCE,
HIS RESPONSE IS SHARED IN THE BOOK,
A QUOTE THAT YOU GOT FROM A RECORDING FROM NIXON IN THE OVAL
OFFICE AND I'M GOING TO SHARE JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THAT.
HE SAID, "THEY KILLED SEVEN GUARDS, A BLOODY BUSINESS,
ROCKEFELLER HANDLED IT WELL, YOU SEE IT'S THE BLACK BUSINESS,
HE HAD TO DO IT."
WHAT DOES THAT STATEMENT TELL US?
(THOMPSON) WELL, IT TELLS US EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS NATION
WHICH IS THAT AT SOME FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL WE HAVE
HISTORICALLY FROM DAY ONE HAD A TERRIFIC PROBLEM WITH
UNDERSTANDING THAT AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE HUMAN BEINGS,
AND IN PRISON, THAT BECOMES GLARINGLY APPARENT,
BUT WITH NIXON IT WAS GLARINGLY APPARENT THROUGHOUT
HIS ADMINISTRATION.
SO WHEN HE SEES ATTICA, AND HE SEES THERE'S BEEN A BLOODBATH,
HIS CONCERN WAS WHO WAS KILLED, AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE IF HOSTAGES
WERE KILLED BUT IF IT'S MOSTLY BLACK FOLKS WHO WERE, SO BE IT.
IN OTHER WORDS, THAT'S HIS ONLY CONCERN IS THAT IT WASN'T ONE OF
US, MEANING WHITE-FOLKS, THAT WERE KILLED,
AND FRANKLY THAT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE CORE OF WHY
ATTICA WAS ABLE TO BE COVERED UP SO EASILY BECAUSE PRISONERS,
OVERWHELMINGLY BLACK AND BROWN PRISONERS,
WHO WERE TRYING TO TELL THE WORLD, WE ARE BEING BEATEN,
WE ARE BEING ABUSED - THE TORTURE THAT HAPPENS AFTER THE
RETAKING IS SO SHOCKING, INDEED IN MY BOOK IT TAKES UP ABOUT TWO
CHAPTERS, I MUST SAY THE MOST PAINFUL TO WRITE,
PROBABLY THE MOST PAINFUL TO READ,
AND UNIMAGINABLE TO EXPERIENCE, AND NOBODY LISTENED AND IN PART
NOBODY LISTENED BECAUSE OF THIS VERY FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM THAT WE
HAVE WITH RACE IN THIS COUNTRY WHICH IS DENYING THE HUMANITY OF
PEOPLE WHO DON'T LOOK WHITE, WHO AREN'T WHITE BY THEIR IDENTITY
OR BY THE WAY WE SEE THEM AND SO FRANKLY THAT IS THE CORE OF WHAT
NIXON WAS SAYING.
(HELENE) ROCHESTER FINDS ITS WAY IN BLOOD IN THE WATER QUITE A
BIT FROM THE FIGHT ORGANIZATION FOUNDED BY MINISTER FRANKLIN
FLORENCE WHO TRIED TO INTERCEDE TO GET BETTER MEDICAL CARE FOR
PRISONERS TO THE LATE HOWARD COLES WHO WAS ROCHESTER'S FIRST
BLACK RADIO PERSONALITY, DEDICATED A BROADCAST TO SHARE
ANY AND ALL INFORMATION HE COULD GET FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS ABOUT THE INMATES WHO WERE KILLED SINCE FAMILIES
WERE NOT NOTIFIED AND ALSO A FEDERAL JUDGE IN ROCHESTER,
WHO ANNOUNCED A SETTLEMENT IN THE YEAR 2000 FOR THE INMATES
WHO WERE TORTURED.
IS THERE A PARTICULAR ROCHESTER STORY THAT PARTICULARLY STANDS
OUT TO YOU?
(THOMPSON) YOU KNOW, ROCHESTER IS SO IMPORTANT TO THIS STORY
AND IT'S ACTUALLY SO IMPORTANT TO THE HEROIC PART OF THIS STORY
WHICH IS NOT ONLY AS YOU MENTION JUDGE TELESCA WHO WAS SO
IMPORTANT NOT ONLY IN FINALLY ALLOWING THE PRISONERS WHO WERE
TORTURED AND MAIMED TO TELL THEIR STORIES AND TO HAVE A
SETTLEMENT WITH THE STATE BUT TO ALLOW THE GUARDS WHO HAD BEEN SO
TRAUMATIZED TO FINALLY HAVE THEIR - AND CIVILIAN HOSTAGES TO
HAVE THEIR MOMENT WITH THE STATE.
SO HE WAS A HERO, BUT AS YOU MENTION, REVEREND WAS A HERO,
AS WAS THE REPORTER, YOU KNOW THE GUY WHO ESSENTIALLY ON THE
RADIO IS TELLING FOLKS WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR BROTHER,
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FATHER, SO ROCHESTER IS A REALLY CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT PART OF THIS STORY.
(HELENE) I WOULD NO DOUBT IMAGINE,
IN ADDITION TO THE HIGH PRAISE THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED THAT YOU'VE
LIKELY ALSO DRAWN SOME CRITICISM FOR THE SYMPATHY THAT YOU SHOWED
TO SOME OF THE INMATES AT ATTICA AND I'M TALKING ABOUT CRITICISM
IN PARTICULAR FROM THOSE WHO WOULD SAY,
"WHAT HAPPENS TO PRISONERS BEHIND PRISON WALLS,
THAT DOES NOT MATTER BECAUSE THEY FOUND THEMSELVES IN THERE
BY THE CHOICES THAT THEY MADE AND NOW THEY HAVE TO REAP THE
REPERCUSSIONS."
FOR THOSE WHO WOULD SAY THAT WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THEM ABOUT
THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND HUMAN LIFE BEHIND BARS?
(THOMPSON) WELL FIRSTLY I WOULD SAY THAT FOR THOSE WHO THINK
THAT THIS IS ONLY SYMPATHETIC TO THE PLIGHT OF THE PRISONERS,
THEY HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK.
THIS IS A STORY ABOUT MANY MANY SURVIVORS AND MANY VICTIMS AND
THOSE WERE NOT JUST THE PRISONERS.
THIS IS ABOUT STATE VIOLENCE, AND THIS IS ABOUT A STATE ABUSE
OF POWER, AND THERE WERE WHITE AND BLACK VICTIMS OF THIS AND
THERE WERE WHITE AND BLACK PRISONER VICTIMS OF THIS BUT THE
FUNDAMENTAL MESSAGE IS THAT JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE COMMITS HARM OR
WRONG, A CRIME, AND THEY'RE SENTENCED.
IN OUR NATION WE DO NOT SENTENCE PEOPLE TO ABUSE,
WE DON'T SENTENCE THEM TO TORTURE,
WE HONOR THE FACT THAT THEY REMAIN HUMAN BEINGS EVEN IF THEY
ARE SERVING TIME AND SO IT IS NOT INCONSISTENT TO DEMAND HUMAN
RIGHTS AND FAIR TREATMENT FOR PEOPLE SERVING TIME ALONG WITH
BELIEVING AS SOME DO THAT THIS IS A SYSTEM THAT CAN WORK.
SO HUMANITY, IT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
WE HAVE TO TREAT PEOPLE AS HUMAN BEINGS IN THIS SYSTEM IF FOR NO
OTHER REASON, IF WE'RE HONEST, THEY ARE ALL OF US, RIGHT?
THEY ARE OUR MOTHERS, OUR BROTHERS, OUR SISTERS,
OUR AUNTS, OUR UNCLES, AND IF THEY ARE NOT OUR INDIVIDUAL
FAMILY MEMBERS, IT'S ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD BECAUSE WE KNOW IN
OUR OWN FAMILIES THAT THERE'S MANY FOLKS WHO'S ESCAPED THE
SYSTEM BY A HAIR AND ESCAPED IT ONLY BECAUSE WE HAD RESOURCES OR
WE HAD THE ABILITY TO SAVE THEM SO TO BE BEHIND BARS DOES NOT
MEAN THAT YOU'RE LESS THAN A PERSON AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE
TO REALLY UNDERSTAND.
(HELENE) AND AS YOU MENTIONED, YOU ALSO TALK ABOUT THE
CORRECTIONS OFFICERS, AND THOSE WHO HAD GREAT RELATIONSHIPS,
SOME HAD-I SHOULDN'T SAY GREAT, BUT POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH
THOSE IN THEIR COMPANY, GUARDS WHO HAD SYMPATHY FOR SOME OF THE
INMATES AND THE CONDITIONS THAT THEY WERE LIVING IN,
AND THEY AS YOU MENTION BEFORE, THEY SHARE THE FACT THAT,
LISTEN, MANAGEMENT, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING BASED ON THE
CONDITIONS AND THEIR REQUESTS WERE NOT ANSWERED.
POST-ATTICA HAVE WE SEEN CHANGES WHEN IT COMES TO TRAINING FOR
EXAMPLE WITH CORRECTIONS OFFICERS IN PRISONS?
(THOMPSON) YOU KNOW RIGHT AFTER ATTICA IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT THERE WERE A SPADE OF REALLY IMPORTANT REFORMS AND IN
SOME RESPECTS IT MADE NEW YORK A MORE HUMANE SYSTEM THAN A LOT OF
OTHER STATES IN THE COUNTRY.
THE PROBLEM IS THE BACKLASH THAT FOLLOWS THAT-SO SEVERE,
AND SO FOR GUARDS, YES.
THERE ARE BETTER SALARIES, THERE IS BETTER TRAINING,
BUT THE PROBLEM IS THESE INSTITUTIONS HAVE BECOME SO
OVERCROWDED AND THE ETHOS BEHIND THEM IS SO PUNITIVE THAT THEY
ARE HELL HOLES TO WORK IN, THEY ARE HELLHOLES TO BE IN AND IF WE
AS VOTERS IN A NATION IMAGINE THAT THIS IS DOING GOOD FOR OUR
SOCIETY OR THAT THE PEOPLE WHO WILL RETURN HOME FROM THEM
EITHER AS THE KEPT OR THE KEEPERS ARE GOING TO BE OK,
THEN WE'RE REALLY LIVING UNDER A COMPLETE DELUSION.
WE HAVE TO OPEN THOSE WALLS UP, SEE WHAT IT IS,
AND TREAT THE GUARDS WHO WORK THERE BETTER,
THE CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES BETTER, AND ALSO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
SERVING SO MUCH TIME THERE, AND THEN IF WE DON'T,
WE HAVE OTHER ATTICAS AND IN FACT IT'S NOTABLE THAT JUST TWO
WEEKS, AGO ACTUALLY NO LAST WEEK,
A HUGE PRISON REBELLION IN KANSAS, LAST YEAR,
VAUGHN PRISON, KINROSS PRISON, I MEAN THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION OF
PRISON PROTESTS AND AGAIN ALWAYS A CRY FOR HELP JUST LIKE THE MEN
IN ATTICA.
(HELENE) I HEARD YOU SAY THAT ATTICA HAS TWO LEGACIES: ONE
BEING A LEGACY OF TRAUMA, IMMEASURABLE PAIN AND ALSO
PERMANENT WOUNDS, THE OTHER BEING A LEGACY OF NEW YORK STATE
CAUSING CARNAGE SO THE WORLD WOULD BE AGAINST PRISON REFORM.
WHAT'S THE LEGACY THAT YOU HOPE PEOPLE WILL FIND,
BASED ON YOUR FINDINGS AND YOUR RESEARCH IN BLOOD IN THE WATER?
WHAT'S THE LEGACY THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE
LEFT WITH?
(THOMPSON) I HOPE THAT THE BOOK, BY BRINGING READERS INTO THE
ORDINARY LIVES OF THE MEN WHO WERE SERVING TIME,
THE ORDINARY LIVES OF THE MEN WHO WERE WORKING IN THIS PRISON,
AND THE ORDINARY LIVES OF ALL OF THEIR FAMILIES,
THEY UNDERSTAND THAT PRISONS ARE A REFLECTION OF US,
THAT PEOPLE IN THEM ARE PEOPLE THAT DESERVE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS,
AND THAT IF WE ALLOW STATE AUTHORITIES TO RUN THESE
INSTITUTIONS WITHOUT ANY CHECKS, WITHOUT ANY EYES ON THEM,
AND TO TELL US WHAT HAPPENS IN THEM,
WE ARE AT GREAT RISK BECAUSE ATTICA SHOWS THAT WHEN WE DON'T
WHAT GOES ON, WHAT GOES ON IS REALLY HORRIFIC WITH HUGE
CONSEQUENCES FOR OUR NATION.
WE NOW BECAME THE LARGEST PRISON NATION IN NO SMALL PART BECAUSE
WE COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT HAPPENED AT ATTICA.
THE STATE TOLD US THE CARNAGE AT ATTICA WAS DOWN TO THE
PRISONERS, THE PRISONERS HAD KILLED THE HOSTAGES,
IT WAS AN UTTER LIE, BUT THAT LIE TURNS A GENERATION OF VOTERS
AGAINST PRISON REFORM, AGAINST LOOKING AT PRISONS CRITICALLY
AND INSTEAD BRINGS ON THIS PUNITIVE,
PUNITIVE MOMENT SO HISTORY MATTERS.
(HELENE) PULITZER PRIZE WINNING AUTHOR HEATHER ANN THOMPSON IT'S
A PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU HERE AND AN HONOR, THANK YOU.
(THOMPSON) THANK YOU SO MUCH
UNCOVERING NEVER BEFORE TOLD STORIES OF THE
VIETNAM WAR, ON FILM, WAS THE DECADE-LONG PROJECT OF
FILMMAKERS KEN BURNS AND LYNN NOVICK.
THEIR 18-HOUR, 10-PART DOCUMENTARY SERIES TITLED:
VIETNAM WAR, LAUNCHED IN LATE SEPTEMBER HERE ON WXXI.

VARYING VIEWPOINTS, BELIEFS AND PERSPECTIVES.
W-X-X-I NEWS LAUNCHED ITS OWN WEB SERIES SHARING THE STORIES
OF THOSE WHO EXPERIENCED THE VIETNAM ERA.
TONIGHT WE BRING YOU THE STORY OF RENOWNED RADIO PERSONALITY
ALAN LEVIN, KNOWN AS "BROTHER WEASE."
HAVING SERVED THREE TOURS IN VIETNAM,
LEVIN SAYS THE WAR CHANGED HIM COMPLETELY.
TAKE A LOOK...
(MUSIC)
I ENLISTED BECAUSE ONE OF MY BEST BUDDIES FROM HIGH SCHOOL,
JOEY DRAYBIN ... HE WENT TO VIETNAM.
AND I GO, "I GOTTA GO."
IT'S JUST STUPID KID CRAP.
I WAS 19, SO I GO, "JOE'S THERE, I GOTTA GO TOO."
I HAD NO IDEA, POLITICALLY SPEAKING, ANYTHING.
THE WHOLE WAR CHANGED MY LIFE COMPLETELY.
BUT ONCE THE WAR WAS OVER, THIS COUNTRY DIDN'T SKIP A BEAT.
SO WHAT DID MY DEAD BROTHERS DO TO KEEP THIS COUNTRY SAFE?
I MEAN, IF YOU BE HONEST ABOUT IT, IT DOESN'T COME OUT PRETTY.
BUT WHY DON'T WE LEARN?
I THOUGHT, AS A RIDICULOUS HIPPIE AFTER THE WAR,
THAT THAT WAR WAS THE LAST WAR.
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT WE'D NEVER DO IT AGAIN,
BECAUSE IT DIDN'T AFFECT AMERICA.
BUT WE'RE STILL DOING IT, EXCEPT NOW, MORE FERVENTLY.
I'M ANTI-WAR, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE DON'T NEED A MILITARY TO
KEEP AMERICA WHERE IT IS.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND GETTING INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S CIVIL WARS
THAT WON'T AFFECT THIS COUNTRY.

Rick Pitino Received 98 Percent of Louisville's Current Adidas Contract| MK Entertainment - Duration: 2:03.
Rick Pitino Received 98 Percent of Louisville's Current Adidas Contract|
MK Entertainment
Suspended Louisville head coach Rick Pitino reportedly received 98 percent of the money
from the university's current contract with Adidas.
According to Andrew Wolfson of the Courier-Journal, "In 2015-16, for example, $1.5 million went
to Pitino under his personal services agreement with the apparel company while just $25,000
went to the program, according to a contract obtained by the Courier-Journal under the
state public records act.
The year before, Pitino also got $1.5 million, while the department banked just $10,000."
The university agreed to a 10-year, $160 million deal with Adidas in August, when athletic
director Tom Jurich—currently on paid leave after the FBI's investigation into college
basketball—said that the money would go toward the athletic department and Louisville's
student-athletes.
Despite the overwhelming proportion of that money reportedly going to Pitino, however,
university spokesperson Kenny Klein defended Jurich's assertion last month, noting, "Players
come here in part because of Coach Pitino.
Coaching is part of what we give to student-athletes."
But according to Wolfson, Louisville's interim president, Greg Postel, noted the university
is investigating whether the money received from Adidas is "tainted" in any way.
Adidas is under investigation by the FBI due to "efforts to secretly funnel money from
Adidas to three players and their families in exchange for the players' commitments to
play at two Adidas-sponsored college programs and to later sign sponsorship deals with the
company once they turned pro," per Marc Tracy of the New York Times.
Pitino is currently on unpaid administrative leave and his tenure as Louisville's head
basketball coach appears likely to be over.
