Is there supposed to be a deeper meaning for "Fleishman is in trouble?"

To be honest, all I see are rich white people complaining their lives aren’t 100% perfect.


Oh, and I watched the movie “White noise“ on Netflix, I won’t say anything about it, because that might influence your decision about watching it.

Have children. I do think these are problems of the privileged. Other people don’t have time to contemplate or time to be miserable about their lives because they are working hard. I also think it try’s to show that there are no good guys and bad guys.

SPOILER ALERT








is how you see Toby's wife, Rachel, in a completely different light once Libby tells the story.

But yes, both Toby and Libby do come off privileged.

I was surprised by the performance of "How I Met Your Mother" star Josh Radnor, very good. I never quite understood why he was cast for that sitcom but here he really shows some chops.


It dawns on me that I am someone who has enough time and privilege to go on the internet and complain about rich white people who have too much time and privilege.
