This is a very strange love affair
Duplicitousness, secrets and backstabbing all wrapped up in a strange thing known as love. The B&W cinematography by Tetzlaff just elevates this movie to high art. Hitchcock was a bloody genius.
Paddy Chayefsky and Aaron Sorkin both seem to have similar politics, with the same narrative tics, tendency to speechify, and overemphasis on plot. So why do I like Chayefsky more?
Because his monologues are fucking great man.
You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.
not a great documentary, and the talking head interviews are kinda lousy, but some of the images taken are striking and you definitely feel like you’re in the moment of a popular uprising. basically a bad Frontline doc.
“Milosevic’s Socialist Party was just the old Soviet-style communism from the Yugoslavia days”
Glazer’s Bresson movie. The Holocaust is in every frame, every crevice inside every piece of drywall, inside every red blood cell in these zombies’ circulatory system. And yet, it’s always out of bounds, just far enough away that you can close your ears and oink it out, like the pigs they are.
The most harrowing horror movie i’ve ever seen. Masterful
“Nothing is sweeter than love,
Nothing stronger,
Nothing higher,
Nothing wider,
Nothing more pleasant,
Nothing fuller or better in heaven or earth; for love is born of God.”
- Thomas à Kempis
