I have just seen it and I liked it quite a bit. The atmosphere, cinematography and acting were great. Sure, the plot wasn't the best one out there and the plot twist was quite predictable I liked it. One of the best psychological horrors I have seen in quite a while. What did you guys think about it?
because it's the end of their sentence.
Hi r/worldnews! I'm Jason Rezaian, and I've served as Tehran bureau chief for the Washington Post and am now an opinion writer for the paper and contributor to CNN. I was convicted—but never sentenced—of espionage in a closed-door trial in Iran in 2015. I now live in Washington, DC, with my wife.
In my book "Prisoner," I write about exhausting interrogations, a farcical trial, especially since my reporting in Iran was a mix of human interest stories and political analysis. I initially thought it was a misunderstanding, but I soon realize it was much more dire as it eventually became an 18-month prison term with impossibly high diplomatic stakes. This post details my first few hours as I came to this realization.
AMA starts at 3 p.m. ET, noon PST! Talk to you soon! Big thanks to the r/worldnews mods for helping us set this up!

To catch up or if you're new, just read all of my previous posts. I can't do the juicy details justice and frankly, you need the full experience of how stupid they were to appreciate how stupid they still are.
Fun fact about all of this: the last time they saw me in person was when they showed up at my doorstep in May, at which point I shut the door on them. The last time they spoke to me on the phone was a week before I moved. You'd think that maybe they would want to make a phone call to confirm it's actually me and I haven't been kidnapped by my partner (who they loathe and my dad actually threatened to kill because that's the sort of maturity he has), but oh well.
Anyway, over the last few months, I've exchanged a handful of text messages with my brother, who has been smart about not bringing up why I moved or my parents, but absolutely nothing interesting about my life has been revealed to him either.
Earlier this week, my mother sent a group text to me and my brother with photos of them at some high school event that my extended family went to (the people I cut off last year at Thanksgiving and skipped on Christmas because they are racist, homophobic, bigoted, hateful class traitors who I want nothing to do with). This was the first communication they tried to send me since I went NC (in that time, I switched phones and got a new phone number, which they don't and won't have, but I haven't canceled the old one yet since I'm still finding random things that my old number is attached to).
Then today, I checked my PO Box to discover that I had a Priority Mail envelope, addressed in my mother's handwriting. I decided to open it because who knows, maybe they decided to sue me to recover some of their healthcare costs, only to find a greeting card that they must have found in the "Miss You" section of the grocery store.
Inside the greeting card, she wrote that they are having Thanksgiving at their house and would "love" for me to stay with them and that they will have the guest room ready (even if I arrive last minute) and I can feel free to bring the animals if I need. And that they love me very much and they will also keep the guest room ready for Christmas.
First of all, the nerve of them. Actually, that could be the whole conclusion of the post but it won't be.
I guess they think that after 2 months of not talking, that's long enough for me to forget the months and years of toxic behavior and abuse they put me through? I still have nightma

I remember watching on a history channel documentary that at the end of the war Russians took a large number of american soldiers as prisoners. I was hoping someone could expand on how and why this all happened.
