Silkwood was working at a plutonium processing plant and was killed in a mysterious car crash on her way to deliver important documents to a newspaper reporter. She had been working on health and safety issues at the plant. She was 28 years old when she died. ...

very strong true-story chilling movie, starring Meryl Streep. Great supporting cast: Kurt Russell, Cher, Craig T. Nelson, Ron Silver and Fred Ward anybody else? "Talent is an ability doing more than you need." Mikhail Mikhailovich Prishvin

Three gens in my family who enjoy Meryl. I've liked about 50% of her films. Did not care for Adaptation, have no interest in Ironweed, Kramer vs Kramer, Heartburn. Out of Africa is one of my favorites, (also enjoy most of Pollock's films). Silkwood is excellent as is Sophie's Choice. Jule and Julia was fair, but not as entertaining as The Devil Wears Prada, Doubt or Mamma Mia. ...

Was this recently or a long time ago, because I have seen many interviews with Meryl, but never one in which this topic was raised? The movie was made 26 years ago, so did she comment on it at around that time or later? "Details of your incompetence do not interest me"!

@Krümel Hallo, ich lebe auch noch (halbwegs); bin froh, wenn mein Finger auf der Fernbedienung "Play" findet. Drei Wochen krebse ich schon mit der Grippe rum. Aber es wird besser und besser. "Glaubensfrage" ist ein feines Filmchen, hab' ihn schon gesehen. M.S. ist aber auch eine Begnadete. Absoluter Zufall: Habe mir heute auch zwei mit ihr angesehen: - Wolfsmilch . Wenn er noch nicht ...

I love how everything was so lovely and peaceful until it got to Julie and Julia. I shall see Julie and Julia today. I keep hearing either she was the best she's been in awhile or horrid. I'd personally give Streep her third Oscar for Silkwood. But after that the only time she comes close is for Adaptation and Bridges of Madison County. And those spots go to Zeta-Jones and Shue. I wouldn't ...
