Hank sighed, heavy and annoyed, attempting to not roll his eyes at the android high up there. ❝Fucking hell.❞ How much did he like Connor? How much did he care about him? To fucking much apparently. Taking a step forward Hank grabbed hold of the scaffolding, contemplated his life choices, and pulled himself up the first level. He was not fit enough for this, not a climber normally, and if he fell he would die. Yet, he pulled himself up the next level and looked around to try and find another place to step and grab. If he lived he was making Connor pay for lunch tomorrow.

❝Look, I know you think this is the only option--❞ he's breathing heavily already, hands sweating from the exertion and even slight fear. He's a significant height up already that if he slipped he'd be hurt if he fell. ❝But you won your freedom, your people are their own people. Clothes you have to buy now and if you can't there are shelters for that.❞ One of his hands slip and he quickly leaned to the right as he gripped the other scaffolding tighter.

This was how he died. Talking to android Jesus on a fuckin' scaffolding. ❝Fuckin' goddamn it fuckin' Connor--❞ a breath, deep and shaking and he moved to grab the scaffolding to keep climbing. ❝When I fucking get up there--❞ not best to threaten the android. ❝I can take you to one of the shelters.❞

saw your tags on my post about "journey from the fall" (2006). i hate to disappoint you, but the "vietnamese perspective" of this film is still an american one, because it was made by a vietnamese-american, and this film is still vicious anti-communist propaganda, although it is less racist than most other hollywood films on the subject of the war. the film is a vehicle to spread bourgeois lies and half truths about how the liberation of vietnam was actually a bad thing. it is similar to the rhetoric of the american descendants of bourgeois cuban plantation owners, if you are familiar. just providing some historical context in good faith. i invite you to read up on the perspectives of vietnamese people who are actually from vietnam and live there, so that you can decide for yourself and not take my word for it. thank you and enjoy your wednesday.

oh no, I didn't realize that about the movie, thank you so much for letting me know! I had only heard about it from the pbs documentary I had seen, but didn't know about all of this as well! I appreciate you letting me know about this, I'm not familiar with the rhetoric of bourgeois cuban plantation owners, but I'll def have to look into that, I should have done some research into the movie before sharing it in the tags, so thank you again for letting me know about this and I will def do some reading on the perspectives of vietnamese people living in vietnam, thank you again for letting me know! I hope you have a lovely wednesday too!
