On Youtube--hard to find this movie, and hard to find a free one--this one starts very strange--
but ends sweetly. It's called On the Rebound.
"Older woman" by 5 years ???!!!
That's nothing. My male cousin married someone 10 years his senior, yet he died first.
Daw Than E Fend married a man 20 years younger, and yet he died first too.
Then she moved countries as a eighty? year old.

WH--regression to the mean--Rose Garden etc--scroll down WITHIN the link--

Progression to the mean (number) is a statistical term.
It explains why the offspring of tall men don't keep growing taller and taller and vice versa for other physical straits.
But a kingdom or nation state can fracture into rump states (Roman Empire) a government may be overthrown or annihilated (Hitler, WW II Japan) a system can disappear in minutes (atomic bomb, meteor hit which killed the dinosaurs--ascendency of underground mammals)
It's easier to die off than to rebuild. Take head.

Alan Clements' new book.
https://www.irrawaddy.com/culture/books/imaginary-conversations-with-min-aung-hlaing.html
Problem is there is no "look inside" option on Amazon--and it's difficult to buy such an expensive book without seeing a sample.
Not clear from the review above if it's an AI generated novel like Maus or Persepolis or Zahra's Paradise. His 1988 based coffee table book was visually very arresting.
it's my understanding that mainstream publishers and magazines don't take books any part of which is AI generated.
Maybe that's why Clements self-published?
Self Publication leads to not very tight editing.
But I think the bias of the above reviewer is uncalled for.
Seems too pro-junta.
Writers and artists are allowed to be as ideosyncratic as they wish. That's the whole point of creating something.
