Claire Dolan. Lodge Kerrigan, 1998.

😿
Edition screened: New Yorker Video DVD, released 2006. English language. Runtime approximately 95 minutes.

Summary: Depicted disregard for a cat’s life.

Details: At 37:15, a friendly cat living in Claire’s upper-floor apartment jumps into the lap of Colm Meaney, who calmly picks him up, opens a window, and drops him out. We don’t actually see the fall, but have a priori awareness of the cat’s fate. Over by 37:30.

Despite relentless media indoctrination that Hollywood is overrun by the agendas of überliberals, the two primary educational directives in the film industry apparently are to teach children: 1) To torture frogs to death; and 2) To drop cats out high windows. Could we please stop with the Cats always land on their feet and Cats have nine lives nonsense? Stop at least as long as equally incorrect phrases such as People are basically good and Humans have within them a spark of the Divine remain demonstrably incorrect.
