Finally, a Critic Who Really Gets The Iron Lady
Spoiler alert? "I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the preoccupation the director shows with Maggie’s shoes. There are so many shoe-shots in the film, it’s downright laughable. When she leaves number 10 for the last time, the shot lingers long enough on Streep’s walking feet it made me wonder if there was a shoe fetishist behind the camera. She wasn’t Imelda Marcos, after all. And the final scene of the movie: Maggie washes out her teacup in the sink. How tragic! Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah! The filmmakers could not resist that final, petty, hate-filled blow." [Big Hollywood]

I clicked the source link without realizing what site it was. Ugh. Now I need a shower or six.
Sorry, that was most definitely not the intention. Treat it like a comedy site and you can't go wrong!
The shoe fetish angle makes the film weirdly attractive to me now.
It's hard to laugh through the tears!
"(what the liberal philosophy fails to recognize is that when the rich get richer, the poor get richer, too)"
That's just kinda sorta not true for oh, the last twenty years or so at least. Here's an article from Business Insider with lots of charts and graphs that illustrates the issue. This chart in particular: http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/4bbcb17c7f8b9a6218b70000-590/look-at-the-wealth-gap-grow.jpg
I know, I know, the site's a windmill. I just couldn't help but tilt at the thing.
