the reason Michael Caine and Tim Curry are so good in their respective Muppet movies is that Michael Caine treats the Muppets as fellow actors, and Tim Curry treats himself as a fellow Muppet

There are times when you have to have a change of direction, otherwise you won't be happy.

Regardless of the fact that we like and appreciate this actor, the statement should apply to every rational person.
This then not out of excitement but with fundamental facts that unmask the injustice and expose it.
Representatives of injustice have a skewed idea and like to wrap injustice in supposed right which, when questioned, is just a rotten facade of their rotten morality.

Freedom means taking the liberty to draw attention to injustice in order to make it visible.
Every human being, unless mentally ill, can distinguish right from wrong, lie from truth.

Only bad social and cultural influences and personal ambition can override this moral system through deception and delusion.
It is often the case that those who are perceived as inferior believe that they are disregarding equality by claiming to be special.
The differences of us humans should only complement a community and thus make it flexible in order to survive in nature - these are the principles of nature.
Anyone who believes that the strongest survive has not understood nature in detail because it is the most co-operative whose tribe/herd survives. The more complex the challenge, the greater the need for flexibility and co-operation.
The strong can swim across the river but co-operation builds a boat and sails the sea.

Right is always to the advantage of all. Wrong is only to the advantage of a few.
If I see any injustice done, I have a big enough mouth and the position to open up about it.

If this had been a drama, Michael Caine would've been all wrong for Holmes. On the other hand, he's Michael Caine; he can do no wrong. I adore him, and always will.
Zřejmě to nebude mít s historií moc co společného, ale vypadá to sakra zajímavě.... 😁👍
John Wayne tried to assault Sacheen Littlefeather at the 1973 Oscars. But let’s keep talking about how the “slapping incident” was the award show’s darkest moment ever.
"As she delivered the speech John Wayne was furious. She later said, “During my presentation, he was coming towards me to forcibly take me off the stage, and he had to be restrained by six security men to prevent him from doing so.”
Besides John Wayne's abhorrent behavior other celebrities like Clint Eastwood, Raquel Welch and Michael Caine also piled on.

14. Ewan McGregor Movie Review: Little Voice (1998)
(sorry, everyone there's not a gif to use for the movie this time! 😭)
Fun Facts!
Philipp Jackson works alongside Ewan again in this movie in a minor role. They worked together on the movie "Brassed Off!"
Jim Broadbent is part of the supporting cast as the character Mr. Boo. He will reunite with Ewan to film "Moulin Rouge!"
The titular character, Little Voice, is played by Jane Horrocks who performs her own songs! They did not hire an impressionist for her to lip sync to; she's just that talented! She also played this role seven years earlier for the stage play version.
Genre: Comedy/Musical
Rating: R
Director: Mark Herman
Starring: Jane Horrocks, Michael Caine, Brenda Blethyn
Synopsis: "Little Voice" is about a young lady (Jane Horrocks), nicknamed Little Voice due to her whispery manner of speaking. She rarely talks and is so shy that she never leaves her house. The only thing that brings her joy is listening to music. Her mother (Brenda Blethyn) is the exact opposite. She's loud, talkative, and unfortunately, doesn't think Little Voice is good for anything. When a talent scout discovers that Little Voice has a gift for impersonating famous singers, all he sees are dollar signs. He just has to convince this girl with a tiny personality to share with the world her larger than life brilliance.
Ewan Review: Ewan McGregor plays the character Billy. Like Little Voice, Billy is a man of few words. While music is the only thing on her mind, his is constantly preoccupied with his pigeons. When he meets Little Voice for the first time he is immediately intrigued by her and tries to get to know the meek young lady. Ewan isn't given much to do in this movie. His character is shy so he doesn't have many lines. He's mostly relegated to being the quiet awkward guy in the background. If you're looking for Ewan content, then I suggest you keep looking. You could call Little Voice a love interest, I suppose. I don't see their relationship that way but that's just my opinion. He doesn't have any kissing, sex, or nude scenes. I believe he speaks in a Yorkshire accent for the movie. His awkwardness is cute and relatable and he performs a heroic act towards the end of the movie. I think acting wise he gives a good performance.
Screentime Percentage: Ewan is on screen for a grand total of 14/97 minutes making his SP 14%.
To Ewan or not to Ewan: Is the movie worth watching for Ewan content alone? Unfortunately, no. He's just a minor character without much screentime or lines. Is the movie worth watching in general? Yes. It's a charming movie with a talented cast.
Where to Watch: "Little Voice" is available for rent on YouTube, Google Play Movies and TV, Fandango at Home, and Amazon Prime Video.
Closing Thoughts: I feel I have the responsibility to point out that the characters Billy and Little Voice are considered "abnormal" by the people around them. They don't understand social cues, they don't make a lot of eye contact, they barely talk and when they do, it's only about the specific interest they have, and they have unusual mannerisms. In other words, while the movie doesn't explicitly give them a label, I think they're meant to be autistic or at the very least are coded that way. I'm bringing it up because I don't know if the actors are on the spectrum but I've heard from those who are that the autistic community has often been hurt by even the most well-meaning depictions of the neurodivergent. I'm not autistic so I don't think it's fair for me to say whether the actors performance was harmful in their depiction or if it was done well and respectfully. All I can do is give you a heads up so that you aren't blindsided if you decide to watch it.
