It wasn't a black square anymore. It was a 512x512 pixel rendering of Elias’s bedroom, seen from the corner of the ceiling. In the center of the icon, a tiny, pixelated Elias was asleep in his bed.
Elias tried to drag it to the Trash. The system made the "thwack" sound of paper being crunched, but the black square remained on the desktop. He tried a Force Delete via Terminal. The screen flickered, the fan hit maximum RPMs for three seconds, and then… nothing. The file stayed. That night, the icon changed.
He didn't try to pull the plug again. He couldn't. He just sat back down, and the webcam light turned a steady, unblinking green.

Perhaps one could suggest that Lin Manuel Miranda consider Reconstruction as the subject of his next Broadway musical?
thanks for the review. i usually read the review before watch the movies. but didn’t read fully because i don’t wanna know whats is happens last. so as this review i decide to watch this movie so thanks for the review.
I found your commentary, searching for historical background after watching the movie. You have a truly unique perspective, and I thank you for including so many sources. Most of the movies mentioned; I have seen, and I readily absorbed your reviews, most likely due to my exposure to topics not usually found in History classes, during my tenure as a US Army Equal Opportunity Advisor. This piece is a great ‘jumping off’ point for my continued research, which hopefully will include other works you have authored. Do you lecture? I would love to hear more.
