I find his dialogue so compressed it might as well be a series of obscene grunts. His movies seem artificial and generally loathsome. When I watch them, I feel like I&#8217;m being raped. Oy ve, the last film I saw written by David Mamet was 2005&#8217;s Edmond. I hated it.<\/p>\n<p>But this movie is great. It&#8217;s moral. It&#8217;s inspiring. It builds to a shattering climax. I kept waiting for it to turn loathsome and it never happens. It just entertains, provokes and inspires.<\/p>\n<p>Mamet&#8217;s rabbi, Dr. Mordecai Finley of Ohr HaTorah, has a minute-long cameo as a fighter.<\/p>\n<p>Other David Mamet movies I&#8217;ve liked include State &amp; Main, Wag the Dog, The Edge, Hoffa, Glengarry Glenross, The Untouchables, About Last Night, The Verdict, The Postman Always Rings Twice&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>From my live cam chat:<\/p>\n<p>guest11:&nbsp; would you wink and say hello <br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; i feel like we&#8217;ve made a lot of progress today<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp; oh yes<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp; I do to<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; is there also an audio stream? <br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; not at moment, dont want to spoil you<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp; where are you from 11?<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; germany<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; and you <br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; i am trying to get a video stream installed<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp; oh gosh where to begin<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; with proper quality<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp; and how does being here 11 help?<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; just see things to work proper<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; its possible so <br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; thats important info for start <br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; but what about the moral leader hehe<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp; Moral doesnt talk much<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp; he knows what we are saying<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; ok <br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; he&#8217;s from down under<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; ah australia <br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; great<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; well not anymore but originally yes<br \/>\nguest14:&nbsp; do you really want to be mty moral leader<br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; yes<br \/>\nUser guest14 changed their name to enki.<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp; &lt;&#8212;- going out and buying cam and startingsite called TheMoralLeader<br \/>\nenki:&nbsp; have you got more morals than me though maybe i should be your moral leader<br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; i got way more than you<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; what are you doing there, moral leader? <br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; the rabbis say so<br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; transcribing top post on lukeford.net<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; i did not get the point jet<br \/>\nenki:&nbsp; well if a rabi says so maybe they dont know everything did they specificaly say that you have more morals than anyone you may meet<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp; the doctor said i have&nbsp; six months to live<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp; I told him I couldnt pay my bill<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; he gave me six more months<br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; doctor told me: I have good news and bad news<br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; What&#8217;s the bad I asked<br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; You&#8217;re going to die he said<br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; what&#8217;s the good?<br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; see the secretary out there, i finally nailed her last night<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; how did you do this tipping this joke, while playing with your cam? <br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; magic? <br \/>\nenki:&nbsp; did you tell that joke to your rabis<br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; no<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp; thanks for the inspiration and moral leadership Moral<br \/>\nenki:&nbsp; Im one of your rabis spying on you<br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; oy<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; haha? <br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp; I have to go tell more people about&nbsp; your inspiration and leadership <br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp; so I&#8217;ll bid you ado<br \/>\nguest9:&nbsp;&nbsp; bye for now<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; winking <br \/>\nenki:&nbsp; have you heard of sitchin<br \/>\nenki:&nbsp; he translated a lot of sumarian clay tablet they found in the 30&#8217;s<br \/>\nYourMoralLeader:&nbsp; oh<br \/>\nenki:&nbsp; he is a hebrew language profesor<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; anyway i dont know anything <br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; but you might have the appearance of a moralic leader<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; very charismatic<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; a little bit like i think jesus must have looked <br \/>\nenki:&nbsp; they tablets translated literaly talk of a race minipulating the monkey genes to make a race of slaves, then they mixed thier own genes with them and got us since the original ones couldnt breed<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; whats your mission, moralleader?`<br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; smiling into a webcam whole day long? <br \/>\nguest11:&nbsp; i didnt get the point yet<br \/>\nenki:&nbsp; (hes not wearing pants thats y hes smiling like that)<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Afterwards, you&#8217;ll want to cheer and do a mitzvah.
