"headTitle": "Harry and Meghan: 10 Takeaways From the Big Oprah Interview | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>When Britain’s Prince Harry got married in May 2018 to American actress Meghan Markle—who had found success as a regular on the basic-cable series \u003cem>Suits\u003c/em>—they became the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. For a short time, they lived their lives as royals. They did events, they were affiliated with charities, and they were—she was, in particular—unceasingly, often brutally, covered by the British press. Her clothes, the way she sat, the personality she supposedly had and her general suitability were under constant scrutiny. And, of course, there was from both the press and the public an undercurrent of racism that was sometimes less “under” and more simply “current.” Black women have spoken and written about this \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/mar/07/almost-embodies-fear-black-women-treatment-meghan\">again\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.teenvogue.com/story/meghan-markle-critics-are-using-internet-troll-tactics-to-perpetuate-misogynoir\">again\u003c/a>, right up until now, and Harry himself decried it in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/11/08/in-rare-blast-at-british-media-prince-harry-says-his-american-girlfriend-meghan-markle-faces-wave-of-abuse/\">public statement\u003c/a> well before they were married. [aside postid='arts_13866072']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the spring of 2020, they stepped back from that life. They’re still officially the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but you don’t call them “His/Her Royal Highness” anymore. The couple has relocated to southern California, where they now have deals with Netflix and Spotify and a production company called Archewell. They are pursuing a very different kind of unusual life. And they do not ask for permission to do or say things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That brings us to Sunday’s two-hour interview that Meghan alone, and then the couple together, did with Oprah Winfrey, which aired on CBS in prime time. In the days leading up to it, both the couple and perhaps others as well seemed to be preparing people to receive it in opposite ways. Harry did a jovial segment with James Corden for late-night television, in which he FaceTimed with Meghan and talked warmly about Zoom calls with his grandparents, and about how his grandmother—the queen—sent a waffle maker at Christmas for their son, Archie. (Meghan is currently pregnant with their second child.) At the same time, a fresh flurry of negativity about Meghan appeared in the British press, most prominently an accusation that she “bullied” staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What wasn’t clear going into Sunday evening was how much there would be in this interview that the royal family—or more precisely the larger business enterprise around it, often called The Firm—wouldn’t want them to say. Based on the Corden interview, Harry wasn’t spoiling for a fight with his grandmother, at least. But once the flood of dirt started to flow about Meghan, it was easy to wonder whether somebody somewhere was nervous about what they might say and was trying to get out ahead of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the end, it was painful and personal and unsparing about the cost of all this to Meghan particularly, and it was not anything the royal family would be excited to have people hear. It wound up being a discussion more profoundly sad than juicy. [aside postid='arts_13872986']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oprah proved quite willing to press for details when an answer was a little … artificially diplomatic. This was a carefully managed backyard sunlit chat, where a pair of expectant parents faced an interviewer who was persistent but also deeply empathetic to them, and where they had two straight hours to get their side of the story on the record. Whether any other sides will emerge remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the major takeaways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Meghan says she had serious and frightening thoughts of suicide during her pregnancy with Archie as she began to understand what the life that lay ahead would really mean, but the institution around the royal family told her she could not get the help she wanted. \u003c/strong>The most revealing conversation may have been about mental health. Meghan described having serious thoughts of suicide. She approached a senior person working for the royal family, who she says forbade her from seeking treatment in the way she asked. (A friend of Diana, Harry’s mother, did offer support.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. They’re having a girl. \u003c/strong>You need at least one straight-up headline out of this, right? The headline that doesn’t require much detail is that the baby Meghan is due to deliver this summer is, they believe, a girl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Meghan says the royal family declined to make her baby, Archie, a prince or offer him the protection that would come with that title—and expressed concern about his skin color before he was born. \u003c/strong>Meghan told Oprah that when she was pregnant, the family informed her that they would not make her first child (who turned out to be Archie) a prince or princess, and the child would not get the protection that accompanies that title. She says she received no clear reason why and stopped short, just barely, of saying it was because she’s Black. But she says there were also discussions (with Harry, not with her) in which members of the family expressed concerns over what the baby’s skin color might be. She didn’t say which family members, even when prodded, saying she thought revealing that would be “damaging” to them. Harry, too, later acknowledged that at least one such discussion had taken place, but he wouldn’t offer any specifics. Not sharing who was behind these discussions of the baby’s skin color was the firmest boundary the couple drew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. They both cite security concerns as having played a huge role in their choices. \u003c/strong>Harry and Meghan said their hands were forced with regard to moving to California because after they initially moved to Canada (a Commonwealth country), they were informed by the Firm that all their security was being taken away. This left them exposed at a time when, Harry says, the \u003cem>Daily Mail\u003c/em> had revealed where they were living. They moved to the United States and took advantage of the hospitality of Tyler Perry, who could offer them safe harbor until they got settled. Harry also says he was cut off financially by the royal family in early 2020, and that he and Meghan have been able to get by because of what his mother left him—he even speculated that in some way, she “saw this coming.” And he added that the deals he and Meghan now have with Netflix and Spotify are in part to meet their ongoing security needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Harry described what he called the “invisible contract” between the royal family and the tabloid press, in which currying favor with particular reporters leads to more favorable press. \u003c/strong>While this might seem self-evident, Harry used it to explain what he called “how scared they [in the family] are of the tabloids turning on them,” and said that he believes this is partially why the family and the Firm failed to offer support to him when it came to bad press. Repeatedly, they both said that the biggest issue that lead to their departure from their duties was this same lack of support from within the family and the institution. No one would stand up for them, they said—which Harry found galling especially when Meghan was suffering racist harassment that earned her the public support of more than 70 members of Parliament—but not the royal family. Meghan summed it up starkly: “They were willing to lie to protect other members of the family”—she did not say who—”but they weren’t willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6.

For a short time, they lived their lives as royals. They did events, they were affiliated with charities, and they were—she was, in particular—unceasingly, often brutally, covered by the British press. Her clothes, the way she sat, the personality she supposedly had and her general suitability were under constant scrutiny. And, of course, there was from both the press and the public an undercurrent of racism that was sometimes less “under” and more simply “current.” Black women have spoken and written about this \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/mar/07/almost-embodies-fear-black-women-treatment-meghan\">again\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.teenvogue.com/story/meghan-markle-critics-are-using-internet-troll-tactics-to-perpetuate-misogynoir\">again\u003c/a>, right up until now, and Harry himself decried it in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/11/08/in-rare-blast-at-british-media-prince-harry-says-his-american-girlfriend-meghan-markle-faces-wave-of-abuse/\">public statement\u003c/a> well before they were married. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They’re still officially the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but you don’t call them “His/Her Royal Highness” anymore. The couple has relocated to southern California, where they now have deals with Netflix and Spotify and a production company called Archewell. They are pursuing a very different kind of unusual life. And they do not ask for permission to do or say things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That brings us to Sunday’s two-hour interview that Meghan alone, and then the couple together, did with Oprah Winfrey, which aired on CBS in prime time. In the days leading up to it, both the couple and perhaps others as well seemed to be preparing people to receive it in opposite ways. Harry did a jovial segment with James Corden for late-night television, in which he FaceTimed with Meghan and talked warmly about Zoom calls with his grandparents, and about how his grandmother—the queen—sent a waffle maker at Christmas for their son, Archie. (Meghan is currently pregnant with their second child.) At the same time, a fresh flurry of negativity about Meghan appeared in the British press, most prominently an accusation that she “bullied” staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What wasn’t clear going into Sunday evening was how much there would be in this interview that the royal family—or more precisely the larger business enterprise around it, often called The Firm—wouldn’t want them to say. Based on the Corden interview, Harry wasn’t spoiling for a fight with his grandmother, at least. But once the flood of dirt started to flow about Meghan, it was easy to wonder whether somebody somewhere was nervous about what they might say and was trying to get out ahead of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the end, it was painful and personal and unsparing about the cost of all this to Meghan particularly, and it was not anything the royal family would be excited to have people hear. It wound up being a discussion more profoundly sad than juicy. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oprah proved quite willing to press for details when an answer was a little … artificially diplomatic. This was a carefully managed backyard sunlit chat, where a pair of expectant parents faced an interviewer who was persistent but also deeply empathetic to them, and where they had two straight hours to get their side of the story on the record. Whether any other sides will emerge remains to be seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the major takeaways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Meghan says she had serious and frightening thoughts of suicide during her pregnancy with Archie as she began to understand what the life that lay ahead would really mean, but the institution around the royal family told her she could not get the help she wanted. \u003c/strong>The most revealing conversation may have been about mental health. Meghan described having serious thoughts of suicide. She approached a senior person working for the royal family, who she says forbade her from seeking treatment in the way she asked. (A friend of Diana, Harry’s mother, did offer support.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. They’re having a girl. \u003c/strong>You need at least one straight-up headline out of this, right? The headline that doesn’t require much detail is that the baby Meghan is due to deliver this summer is, they believe, a girl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Meghan says the royal family declined to make her baby, Archie, a prince or offer him the protection that would come with that title—and expressed concern about his skin color before he was born. \u003c/strong>Meghan told Oprah that when she was pregnant, the family informed her that they would not make her first child (who turned out to be Archie) a prince or princess, and the child would not get the protection that accompanies that title. She says she received no clear reason why and stopped short, just barely, of saying it was because she’s Black. But she says there were also discussions (with Harry, not with her) in which members of the family expressed concerns over what the baby’s skin color might be. She didn’t say which family members, even when prodded, saying she thought revealing that would be “damaging” to them. Harry, too, later acknowledged that at least one such discussion had taken place, but he wouldn’t offer any specifics. Not sharing who was behind these discussions of the baby’s skin color was the firmest boundary the couple drew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. They both cite security concerns as having played a huge role in their choices. \u003c/strong>Harry and Meghan said their hands were forced with regard to moving to California because after they initially moved to Canada (a Commonwealth country), they were informed by the Firm that all their security was being taken away. This left them exposed at a time when, Harry says, the \u003cem>Daily Mail\u003c/em> had revealed where they were living. They moved to the United States and took advantage of the hospitality of Tyler Perry, who could offer them safe harbor until they got settled. Harry also says he was cut off financially by the royal family in early 2020, and that he and Meghan have been able to get by because of what his mother left him—he even speculated that in some way, she “saw this coming.” And he added that the deals he and Meghan now have with Netflix and Spotify are in part to meet their ongoing security needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Harry described what he called the “invisible contract” between the royal family and the tabloid press, in which currying favor with particular reporters leads to more favorable press. \u003c/strong>While this might seem self-evident, Harry used it to explain what he called “how scared they [in the family] are of the tabloids turning on them,” and said that he believes this is partially why the family and the Firm failed to offer support to him when it came to bad press. Repeatedly, they both said that the biggest issue that lead to their departure from their duties was this same lack of support from within the family and the institution. No one would stand up for them, they said—which Harry found galling especially when Meghan was suffering racist harassment that earned her the public support of more than 70 members of Parliament—but not the royal family. Meghan summed it up starkly: “They were willing to lie to protect other members of the family”—she did not say who—”but they weren’t willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Meghan says a story about her making her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, cry was quite the opposite.\u003c/strong> The closest thing to a refutation of specific tabloid tales—as well as the only real revelation about the behavior of the other royals—came when Oprah and Meghan spoke about reports that just before her wedding, Meghan had made Kate (her sister-in-law, Prince William’s wife) cry during an argument about flower-girl dresses. According to Meghan, the truth was quite the opposite, but the palace refused to let anyone refute it. She says Kate actually made \u003cem>her\u003c/em> cry—though she says the idea that it was over flower-girl dresses is actually accurate—and that Kate later apologized and even sent her flowers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7. Harry’s relationships with his father and brother seem … complicated. \u003c/strong>Harry was quick to speak warmly about his relationship with his grandmother, even now. But long pauses when he was asked to talk about his relationships with his father and his brother William suggested more tension.

She was diagnosed with cancer for the third time in 20 years late last year, and it was the first time she has had to wage the fight without Marty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My first two cancer bouts — both colorectal cancer at Washington Hospital Center and pancreatic cancer at Sloan Kettering — Marty stayed with me,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/744633713\">Ginsburg told NPR’s Nina Totenberg\u003c/a> in an interview on July 23. “He stayed with me in the hospital sleeping on an uncomfortable couch despite his bad back. And I knew that someone was there who really cared about me and would make sure that things didn’t go wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13862182' hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/07/2019-07-23-rbg-shuang-01-4caed7196bf81612daab9a602174546fd22b9734-1020x765.jpg' target='_blank'] \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout his life, Marty, who was one of the preeminent tax lawyers in the country, was a principal booster of his wife. He played a behind-the-scenes lobbying role, for example, in her eventual appointment to the Supreme Court. He was even the principal cook for his wife and children in an era when most men took a back seat on domestic duties, and no one seemed to relish Ruth’s accomplishments more than Marty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he was always looking out for her, like that one time in the hospital when, without him there, Justice Ginsburg might have died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was one day during [the] colon cancer bout when I was getting a blood transfusion, and Marty saw that something was very wrong,” Ginsburg said, “and he immediately yanked the needle out of me. It turned out that there was a mismatch not in the type of blood but in some antigen. I might not have lived it if he hadn’t been there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He encouraged her to go to a physical therapist. That famous exercise regimen of hers might not have happened were it not for Marty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t want to do it,” Ginsburg said. “I was exhausted, and Marty said, ‘You do it.’ And he was quite insistent about that. So, to have his loving care and yet his determination that I do what was necessary to heal faster, it was hard to be alone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she was recovering from cancer twice before, Marty would cook for her, walk with her, read to her and make her laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Marty had a wonderful sense of humor, as you know,” Ginsburg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginsburg is reminded of Marty every day, especially, she said, when the newspaper arrives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was my clipping service with \u003cem>The New York Times \u003c/em>and \u003cem>The [Washington] Post\u003c/em>,” she said. “I miss him every morning, because I have no one to go through the paper and pick out what I should read.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now with him gone, Justice Ginsburg cherishes Marty’s memory. But, to get by, she has dived into her work at the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The work is really what saved me,” she said, “because I had to concentrate on reading the brief doing a draft of an opinion, and I knew that had to get done. So I had to get past whatever my aches and pains were. Just do the job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

He played a behind-the-scenes lobbying role, for example, in her eventual appointment to the Supreme Court. He was even the principal cook for his wife and children in an era when most men took a back seat on domestic duties, and no one seemed to relish Ruth’s accomplishments more than Marty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he was always looking out for her, like that one time in the hospital when, without him there, Justice Ginsburg might have died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was one day during [the] colon cancer bout when I was getting a blood transfusion, and Marty saw that something was very wrong,” Ginsburg said, “and he immediately yanked the needle out of me. It turned out that there was a mismatch not in the type of blood but in some antigen. I might not have lived it if he hadn’t been there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He encouraged her to go to a physical therapist. That famous exercise regimen of hers might not have happened were it not for Marty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t want to do it,” Ginsburg said. “I was exhausted, and Marty said, ‘You do it.’ And he was quite insistent about that. So, to have his loving care and yet his determination that I do what was necessary to heal faster, it was hard to be alone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she was recovering from cancer twice before, Marty would cook for her, walk with her, read to her and make her laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Marty had a wonderful sense of humor, as you know,” Ginsburg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginsburg is reminded of Marty every day, especially, she said, when the newspaper arrives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was my clipping service with \u003cem>The New York Times \u003c/em>and \u003cem>The [Washington] Post\u003c/em>,” she said. “I miss him every morning, because I have no one to go through the paper and pick out what I should read.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now with him gone, Justice Ginsburg cherishes Marty’s memory. But, to get by, she has dived into her work at the court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The work is really what saved me,” she said, “because I had to concentrate on reading the brief doing a draft of an opinion, and I knew that had to get done. So I had to get past whatever my aches and pains were. Just do the job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s been used on \u003cem>The Simpsons\u003c/em> and in \u003cem>Forrest Gump,\u003c/em> recorded dozens of times by the likes of The Kingston Trio, The Dave Clark Five, Jefferson Airplane, The Staples Singers and the Carpenters (twice). You may have even heard it \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha15CfHe3FI\">in a Walmart commercial\u003c/a> a few years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The song has gone by a few different names: “Let’s Get Together,” Everybody Get Together.” But the best-known version is called, simply, “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xGxQXmu7Os\">Get Together\u003c/a>.” It was recorded by The Youngbloods in 1967 — the same year as the Summer of Love, where it would become a constant presence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/7xGxQXmu7Os\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1967, the Vietnam War was raging. The Youngbloods’ lead singer, Jesse Colin Young, remembers, “Back then we were all subject to the draft. That made everything more life and death. And hope is what comes out of that song.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young was a folk singer and guitarist with two albums under his belt when he met guitarist Jerry Corbitt on the folk scene in Cambridge, Mass. They put The Youngbloods together in New York City with drummer Joe Bauer and multi-instrumentalist Lowell Levinger, known as Banana. The band rehearsed in Greenwich Village’s Café au Go Go when there wasn’t a show happening, and that’s where Young first heard “Get Together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a Sunday afternoon and I was walking through the Village and thought, ‘Oh, the Go Go’s gonna be dark. I’ll call the band; we can rehearse,’ ” Young recalls. “I walked down the stairs and it turned out to be an open mic. I thought I would turn around and go home. But Buzzy Linhart was onstage singing ‘Get Together.’ That song just stopped me in my tracks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13806888' *hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/08/AceofCups_KQEDthumb.jpg'* target='_blank']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young says it was the lyrics that really grabbed him. ” ‘\u003cem>Love is but a song we sing / Fear’s the way we die\u003c/em>.’ Wow — the human condition in two lines.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lyrics grabbed \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/14948570/lizz-wright\">Lizz Wright\u003c/a>, too: The jazz and gospel singer recorded “Get Together” in 2004 for her album \u003cem>Dreaming Wide Awake\u003c/em>. She’s a fan of one verse in particular:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cem>If you hear the song I sing\u003cbr>\nYou will understand\u003cbr>\nYou hold the key to love and fear\u003cbr>\nAll in your trembling hand\u003cbr>\nJust one key unlocks them both\u003cbr>\nIt’s there at your command\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>“It’s so clear, and the imagery is fantastic,” Wright says. “In our uncertainty, in our not fully knowing, we are still holding so much power and choosing to learn by love or to learn by fear as we go. And I just love how this verse puts it back in our in our court as individuals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/OnNEBAU_NYo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The song was written in the early 1960s by Chester Powers, who performed under the name Dino Valenti. The son of carnival performers, he made a name for himself in the folk clubs of Greenwich Village. Though he had already left for the West Coast when The Youngbloods formed, Young did meet him years later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I met him at a motorcycle shop in Marin County — we were both living in the Bay Area,” Young says. “I was surprised Dino was kind of a tough guy. I thought to myself, ‘Wow, the angels just took a hold of you one day and put this song in your head, and you brought it to us.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Freiberg of Jefferson Starship puts the song’s origin around 1964. He was in Los Angeles visiting a friend, “and in pops Dino Valenti driving in like a crazy [man] and says, ‘Hey man, listen to this song I just wrote!’ ” Freiberg recalls. “And we listened to it and went, ‘Oh my goodness! How great that song is.’ And we’re quickly writing down the lyrics to it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also remembers hearing Valenti perform for the first time. “He stomped his foot so hard on the stage it was like there were drums playing with him,” he says. “A lot of energy, very fiery kind of guy, but he was so talented.” Freiberg eventually got to know Valenti well when they played together in Quicksilver Messenger Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Youngbloods’ version of Valenti’s song came out, it became part of the soundtrack for the Summer of Love in San Francisco, making Valenti something of a local celebrity. But when he got busted for drug possession, he had to sell the rights to “Get Together” to pay for a lawyer and avoid a possible 10-year prison sentence, according to music journalist \u003ca href=\"http://www.benfongtorres.com/\">Ben Fong-Torres\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13444149' *hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/06/920x920-001.jpg'* target='_blank']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As he famously said,” Fong-Torres recalls, ” ‘For 10 years of my life? Man, I can write another song.’ ” Valenti did eventually recover the rights later in life, before his death in 1994.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valenti’s most famous song went on to have a life of its own. Though it didn’t get much national attention in 1967, two years later The Youngbloods’ version was used in a public service announcement for the \u003ca href=\"https://nccj.org/about/our-story\">National Conference of Christians and Jews\u003c/a>. People started calling their radio stations requesting the song. Young remembers what happened next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Augie Blum, the head of promotion at RCA, went to his boss and said, ‘I want this song again. Now’s the time for it.’ And they told him, ‘Now Augie, we don’t do that. You know we released it once. That’s it.’ And he said, ‘You release a song again or I’m out of here.’ He was too valuable for them to lose,” Young explains. “So they put it out again, and he was right, of course.

Fong-Torres says it captured the zeitgeist of the time, albeit in a roundabout way: “It took a band from New York City to give San Francisco and the Haight-Ashbury generation its anthem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One meaning of the word “anthem” is a psalm or hymn. “Get Together” definitely carries that message for Young, who was a born-again Christian in his teens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think Dino must have had some church upbringing, because he’s talking about, ‘Some may come and some may go. We will surely pass.’ This is very Eastern philosophy, and new to some of us at that point,” Young says. ” ‘When the one that left us here returns for us at last / We are just a moment’s sunlight fading in the grass.’ Wow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freiberg, however, points out a word change: “The Youngbloods’ version says, ‘When the \u003cem>one\u003c/em> that left us here returns for us at last.’ Dino said the lyric was supposed to be, ‘When the \u003cem>wind\u003c/em> that left us here.’ I like that best ’cause it symbolizes the cosmic wind and the interconnection of everything.” He adds, “But then, I’m a Buddhist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An early review of the song even asked why it’s not sung in church. Wright thinks it should be. “There was just all this imagery, some of it even edging on biblical imagery,” Wright says. “I just felt like this is one of those songs that helped me speak better, speak everything else better. And when I first heard it, I knew that it would make me better as a messenger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Young says it still carries a message — for our times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every night I sing it, it’s my favorite part of the show because the people sing,” he says. “I played it in Central Park this past summer, and that was on the first anniversary of Charlottesville. Those people sang it stronger than I’ve ever heard it sung.

The son of carnival performers, he made a name for himself in the folk clubs of Greenwich Village. Though he had already left for the West Coast when The Youngbloods formed, Young did meet him years later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I met him at a motorcycle shop in Marin County — we were both living in the Bay Area,” Young says. “I was surprised Dino was kind of a tough guy. I thought to myself, ‘Wow, the angels just took a hold of you one day and put this song in your head, and you brought it to us.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Freiberg of Jefferson Starship puts the song’s origin around 1964. He was in Los Angeles visiting a friend, “and in pops Dino Valenti driving in like a crazy [man] and says, ‘Hey man, listen to this song I just wrote!’ ” Freiberg recalls. “And we listened to it and went, ‘Oh my goodness! How great that song is.’ And we’re quickly writing down the lyrics to it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also remembers hearing Valenti perform for the first time. “He stomped his foot so hard on the stage it was like there were drums playing with him,” he says. “A lot of energy, very fiery kind of guy, but he was so talented.” Freiberg eventually got to know Valenti well when they played together in Quicksilver Messenger Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Youngbloods’ version of Valenti’s song came out, it became part of the soundtrack for the Summer of Love in San Francisco, making Valenti something of a local celebrity. But when he got busted for drug possession, he had to sell the rights to “Get Together” to pay for a lawyer and avoid a possible 10-year prison sentence, according to music journalist \u003ca href=\"http://www.benfongtorres.com/\">Ben Fong-Torres\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>When Martin Luther King, Jr. was in high school, he won an oratorical contest sponsored by the Negro Elks. He and a beloved teacher were returning home in triumph, riding on a bus, when some white passengers got on. The white bus driver ordered King and his teacher to give up their seats, and cursed them. King wanted to stay seated, but his teacher urged him to obey the law. They had to stand in the aisle for the 90 miles back to Atlanta, Ga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That night will never leave my memory,” King \u003ca href=\"https://playboysfw.kinja.com/martin-luther-king-jr-a-candid-conversation-with-the-n-1502354861\">told\u003c/a> an interviewer, decades later. “It was the angriest I have ever been in my life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/series/688838187/the-other-side-of-anger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR explored the power of anger\u003c/a>. And King is an example of someone who showed a kind of genius for turning that emotion into positive action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My father was extremely angry from that incident. So much so that he expressed it later on by saying that he came very dangerously close, at that particular time, to hating all white people,” says Bernice King, who now runs \u003ca href=\"http://thekingcenter.org/\">The King Center\u003c/a> in Atlanta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he grew older, and went to college and theological school, Martin Luther King, Jr. realized that non-violent resistance offered a way to channel anger into positive forms of protest. “If you internalize anger, and you don’t find a channel, it can destroy you,” she says. “That’s why when Daddy reiterated, ‘Hate is too great a burden to bear,’ he knew it was corrosive and erosive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though King became an icon of non-violence and peace, he also inwardly wrestled with anger and, at times, would snap at those he loved. Looking at how King dealt with anger reveals its dual nature—how it can be a motivating force for change, while also containing the potential for destruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he was a young child, seeing his father’s anger had a real impact on King. Once, a white sales clerk told his father that they had to move to the back of a shoe store, rather than being waited on in the front of the shop. “Whereupon he took me by the hand and walked out of the store. This was the first time I had seen Dad so furious,” King later recalled, in a collection of writings called \u003cem>The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That experience revealed to me at a very early age that my father had not adjusted to the system, and he played a great part in shaping my conscience,” noted King.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King was only 26 years old when he was thrust into a leadership role in the struggle for civil rights. Rosa Parks had just been arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, where King was working as a preacher. King found himself having to speak before thousands of people who had gathered in a mass meeting at the Holt Street Baptist Church—and those people were upset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How could I make a speech that would be militant enough to keep my people aroused to positive action and yet moderate enough to keep this fervor within controllable and Christian bounds?” King later \u003ca href=\"https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/mia-mass-meeting-holt-street-baptist-church\">wrote\u003c/a>. “What could I say to keep them courageous and prepared for positive action and yet devoid of hate and resentment? Could the militant and the moderate be combined in a single speech?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told the crowd that the only weapon they would use was the weapon of protest—that they would follow the teachings of Jesus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their resolve was soon tested when someone threw dynamite at King’s house. He rushed home to find that a crowd of his supporters had gathered, and some had weapons. His wife, Coretta Scott King, later wrote in her book \u003cem>My Life, My Love, My Legacy\u003c/em> that the atmosphere “was so rife with tension that if a black man had tripped over a white man, it could have set off a riot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King calmly stood on his front porch, told everyone to go home, and spoke about loving your enemies. “It was a really noble moment,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.davidgarrow.com/\">David Garrow\u003c/a>, a historian who wrote a biography of King. “Most people would be expressing very intense anger, and he was utterly to the contrary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In private, though, King struggled. He later recalled that that night, he lay awake in bed thinking that his wife and baby could have been killed by the blast. He wrote, “I could feel the anger rising.” But then he caught himself, and thought, “You must not allow yourself to become bitter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He deeply believed in something that almost sounds silly, that almost sounds trite, but he really believed in the power of redemptive love,” says \u003ca href=\"https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/people/clarence-jones\">Clarence Jones\u003c/a>, who worked as an attorney and speechwriter for King.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From Dr. King’s standpoint, anger is part of a process that includes anger, forgiveness, redemption and love,” explains Jones. “Because if you only have anger, the anger will paralyze you. You cannot do anything constructive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1963, Jones went to see King in jail, in Birmingham, Alabama. Jones was hoping to talk about how to raise bail for the imprisoned protesters, but King was preoccupied with a full-page ad that he had seen in the local newspaper. It was an open letter written by the local white clergymen, and it said King should leave the city. It didn’t have a word about the injustice of segregation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So he was very angry,” recalls Jones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King’s \u003ca href=\"http://okra.stanford.edu/transcription/document_images/undecided/630416-019.pdf\">response\u003c/a>, initially scribbled on the scraps of paper he had in his cell, is the famous Letter from a Birmingham Jail. His anger propelled him to write one of the most powerful pieces of persuasive writing ever. He passionately \u003ca href=\"http://okra.stanford.edu/transcription/audio/630416001.mp3\">explained\u003c/a> the principles of non-violent protest and the righteous, justifiable anger of African-Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say King never just showed irritation or snapped at people. He was, after all, human.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes, he got angry with people he worked with. But the anger was in the context of respect and love,” says Jones. He says King’s anger was often more like a disappointment that people had misunderstood what his expectations were or weren’t meeting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those episodes became more common in the last months of his life, after years of nonstop tension and work, says Garrow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were a number of occasions where King expressed irritation at close friends and staff members,” says Garrow, noting that King was apparently depressed, exhausted, and drinking a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King’s close companion, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/22/622678781/remembering-rev-ralph-david-abernathy-50-years-after-resurrection-city-came-down\">Ralph Abernathy\u003c/a>, has written that on the day he was assassinated, King argued with a female friend, lost his temper, and knocked her across a hotel room bed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was more of a shove than a real blow, but for a short man, Martin had a prodigious strength that always surprised me,” Abernathy wrote in his autobiography, \u003cem>And the Walls Came Tumbling Down\u003c/em>. “She leapt up to fight back, and for a moment they were engaged in a full- blown fight, with Martin clearly winning. Then it was all over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many found it shocking to think that King could be physically abusive to anyone, and Abernathy was widely criticized for telling this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"https://www.c-span.org/video/?9718-1/and-walls-tumbling-down&start=3447\">interview\u003c/a> with C-SPAN before he died, Abernathy said that King would have wanted him to be honest. “Jesus was a nonviolent personality,” noted Abernathy, “but Jesus became violent on one occasion when he ran the people out of the temple.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/clayborne-carson\">Clayborne Carson\u003c/a>, director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University, says he doesn’t know if this account about King is true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I do recognize that a Martin Luther King can be angry. It would surprise me if that were not the case,” says Carson. “I have no doubt that he got mad. There were many things for him to get mad at. He felt sometimes betrayed by other people. He felt the same kind of impatience that other people felt with the pace of change. All of these things would anger him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says King learned how to use that anger productively. “You could be angry that the system that is oppressing you, but try not to direct that anger towards people who were caught up in that system,” says Carson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the bus boycott in Montgomery, for example, King did occasionally lose his cool with white officials—and quickly regretted it. “I was weighed down by a terrible sense of guilt, remembering that on two or three occasions I had allowed myself to become angry and indignant,” King wrote. “I had spoken hastily and resentfully. Yet I knew that this was no way to solve a problem…you must be willing to suffer the anger of the opponent, and yet not return anger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This, he knew, was not always easy. Later, after he had become famous,King had an advice column in \u003cem>Ebony\u003c/em> magazine. Someone once \u003ca href=\"https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/advice-living-0\">asked\u003c/a>, “How can I overcome my bad temper? When I am angry, I say things to those I love that hurt them terribly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King replied that the letter-writer had made an important first step by admitting this weakness. “You should also seek to concentrate on the higher virtue of calmness. You expel a lower vice by concentrating on a higher virtue,” King explained. “A destructive passion is harnessed by directing that same passion into constructive channels.”\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/691298594/696413704\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.

He and a beloved teacher were returning home in triumph, riding on a bus, when some white passengers got on. The white bus driver ordered King and his teacher to give up their seats, and cursed them. King wanted to stay seated, but his teacher urged him to obey the law. They had to stand in the aisle for the 90 miles back to Atlanta, Ga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That night will never leave my memory,” King \u003ca href=\"https://playboysfw.kinja.com/martin-luther-king-jr-a-candid-conversation-with-the-n-1502354861\">told\u003c/a> an interviewer, decades later. “It was the angriest I have ever been in my life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/series/688838187/the-other-side-of-anger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR explored the power of anger\u003c/a>. And King is an example of someone who showed a kind of genius for turning that emotion into positive action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My father was extremely angry from that incident. So much so that he expressed it later on by saying that he came very dangerously close, at that particular time, to hating all white people,” says Bernice King, who now runs \u003ca href=\"http://thekingcenter.org/\">The King Center\u003c/a> in Atlanta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he grew older, and went to college and theological school, Martin Luther King, Jr. realized that non-violent resistance offered a way to channel anger into positive forms of protest. “If you internalize anger, and you don’t find a channel, it can destroy you,” she says. “That’s why when Daddy reiterated, ‘Hate is too great a burden to bear,’ he knew it was corrosive and erosive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Looking at how King dealt with anger reveals its dual nature—how it can be a motivating force for change, while also containing the potential for destruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he was a young child, seeing his father’s anger had a real impact on King. Once, a white sales clerk told his father that they had to move to the back of a shoe store, rather than being waited on in the front of the shop. “Whereupon he took me by the hand and walked out of the store. This was the first time I had seen Dad so furious,” King later recalled, in a collection of writings called \u003cem>The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That experience revealed to me at a very early age that my father had not adjusted to the system, and he played a great part in shaping my conscience,” noted King.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King was only 26 years old when he was thrust into a leadership role in the struggle for civil rights. Rosa Parks had just been arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, where King was working as a preacher. King found himself having to speak before thousands of people who had gathered in a mass meeting at the Holt Street Baptist Church—and those people were upset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How could I make a speech that would be militant enough to keep my people aroused to positive action and yet moderate enough to keep this fervor within controllable and Christian bounds?” King later \u003ca href=\"https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/mia-mass-meeting-holt-street-baptist-church\">wrote\u003c/a>. “What could I say to keep them courageous and prepared for positive action and yet devoid of hate and resentment? Could the militant and the moderate be combined in a single speech?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told the crowd that the only weapon they would use was the weapon of protest—that they would follow the teachings of Jesus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their resolve was soon tested when someone threw dynamite at King’s house. He rushed home to find that a crowd of his supporters had gathered, and some had weapons. His wife, Coretta Scott King, later wrote in her book \u003cem>My Life, My Love, My Legacy\u003c/em> that the atmosphere “was so rife with tension that if a black man had tripped over a white man, it could have set off a riot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King calmly stood on his front porch, told everyone to go home, and spoke about loving your enemies. “It was a really noble moment,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.davidgarrow.com/\">David Garrow\u003c/a>, a historian who wrote a biography of King. “Most people would be expressing very intense anger, and he was utterly to the contrary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In private, though, King struggled.

In case you’re not familiar, here’s the drill: Every year, NPR invites artists from around the country to send a video of themselves performing an original song behind a desk of their choosing. The winner gets to travel to NPR HQ in Washington D.C. to play their own \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/series/tiny-desk-concerts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tiny Desk Concert\u003c/a>, joining a long line of venerable performers such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/08/16/639206471/yo-yo-ma-tiny-desk-concert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yo-Yo Ma\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/12/06/504593590/gucci-mane-tiny-desk-concert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gucci Mane\u003c/a>. Then, they take off on a national tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area has a long history at the Tiny Desk. Grammy-winning Oakland blues artist \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2015/03/09/391288717/fantastic-negrito-tiny-desk-concert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fantastic Negrito\u003c/a> got his break when he won the first Tiny Desk Contest in 2015. Last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/02/663422289/bernie-and-the-believers-feat-essence-tiny-desk-concert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bernie and the Believers\u003c/a> didn’t win, but they made such a strong impression with their heartfelt entry that NPR invited them to the Tiny Desk anyway (bandleader Bernie Dalton, who has ALS, writes music that he can’t sing himself).

In case you’re not familiar, here’s the drill: Every year, NPR invites artists from around the country to send a video of themselves performing an original song behind a desk of their choosing. The winner gets to travel to NPR HQ in Washington D.C. to play their own \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/series/tiny-desk-concerts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tiny Desk Concert\u003c/a>, joining a long line of venerable performers such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/08/16/639206471/yo-yo-ma-tiny-desk-concert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yo-Yo Ma\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/12/06/504593590/gucci-mane-tiny-desk-concert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gucci Mane\u003c/a>.

The Taiwanese heartstring-tugger, now available on Netflix after only being acquired by the service a week ago, circles around three complicated, hard-to-love characters, allowing their complexities to cloud their better natures. As in last year’s lovely Israeli drama \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/06/28/624046119/in-the-cakemaker-grieving-is-baked-in\">\u003cem>The Cakemaker\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, the film links these figures via a closeted, recently deceased family man: a specter of authenticity cloaked in secrecy, who forces a reckoning for the loved ones he left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film opens with 13-year-old Chengxi (Joseph Huang) claiming he always knew his dad was gay. It has been three months since his professor father’s death from cancer, and Chengxi learns he’s been written out of his insurance policy. His prone-to-hysterics mother Sanlian (Ying-Xuan Hsieh) knows the truth: that her deceased husband Zhangyuan secretly named his longtime male lover as his benefactor, but that the claim can’t go through unless she signs off on it. So Sanlian drags Chengxi along to the mystery man’s ramshackle apartment, hoping to spur a confrontation that will somehow put the lid back on the wreckage of their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dear Ex Trailer | SGIFF 2018\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/r94pd519Jf4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first third of \u003cem>Dear Ex\u003c/em> is told from Chengxi’s perspective, and it’s the strongest chunk of the film by far: a strange blend of sullen teen angst and the shock of an uncovered secret. The kid is utterly fascinated by his father’s lover Jay, a thirtysomething community theater director who can be furious one minute and tender the next. (He’s played by a terrific Roy Chiu, whose raw, prickly performance has no trace of the mincing-younger-gay-lover onscreen stereotype.) To escape his mother’s needling, Chengxi moves himself into Jay’s life without asking permission, and the two develop a wary bond as they putter through the city on Jay’s moped, trying to figure out what they mean to each other. Writer-director Mag Hsu and her co-director Chih-Yen Hsu stage these scenes in bright, brilliant hues, with long shots of the characters maneuvering around each other in hallways that bring to mind some of the early work of pioneering Taiwanese auteur Tsai Ming-Liang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the film broadens in scope, incorporating flashbacks and new dynamics like Jay’s traditionalist mother, it also shifts perspective: first to Sanlian, and then to Jay. But along the way, it loses the spark that came with a teenager’s incomplete-yet-restless worldview, instead entering a world of full-bore melodrama. Sanlian’s storyline, in particular, feels retrograde, both in her views on gay men and in her cartoonish attempts to keep a handle on her son by any means necessary – including an obsession with sending him off to college in Canada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jay is the one character who defies easy categorization, because even through his slovenly nature and clear distrust of this family intrusion, his genuine devotion to the man he loved shines through. His flashback scenes with Zhangyuan (Spark Chen) are affectionate and sad, particularly when the two men discuss why they must keep their affair a secret to their families. “Not letting them be sad or worried is our responsibility,” Zhangyuan says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A nice bit of linguistic detail: Though Sanlian tries to emasculate Jay by calling him a “mistress,” we quickly learn Zhangyuan, in fact, called him “hubby”… prompting Chengxi to instead refer to his mother as the true “mistress.” Identities shift like this throughout the story, as the three leads develop newfound compassion for each other despite their initial reservations. (As is required by law with every teen movie these days, some of this development must come with onscreen notebook doodles and scribbles to illustrate obvious points.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taiwan is \u003ca href=\"https://qz.com/1470193/how-taiwan-became-the-most-lgbt-friendly-country-in-asia/\">often recognized\u003c/a> as the most LGBT-friendly region in Asia, making the existence and wide availability of films like \u003cem>Dear Ex\u003c/em> a welcome cultural development. Considering the U.S.’s own mainstream movie industry has been remarkably slow to tell similar stories without patronizing characters like Jay, perhaps American filmmakers could learn something here, as well.

But\u003cem> Dear Ex\u003c/em>‘s narrative hiccups and tonal missteps seem less blaring by the time it enters its affecting homestretch, which involves Jay taking on large amounts of debt to stage a revival of a play with great emotional significance.
