Here's the thing. Much has been said about how this German movie from 1927 co-written by a Nazi and adored by Adolf Hitler has fascist themes, and I can catch what they're saying, but there comes a time you must put on your thinking cap as well.
It's apparent this movie is anti-revolutionary and the ending certainly strikes an anti-marxist tone, with resolution coming through the mediating between opposing forces rather than the victory of the workers, this being framed…
Come to england we have social decay and constant rape and landlord rape and a woman that does not shut the fuck up and a main character who talks people into insanity and two Irish kids who spend 10 minutes shouting for each other. I think Johnny is a compelling character and while it's nice to see the blonde lady shut him down in the end it's telling that he gets the last laugh there. His defenses are too strong, it's impossible to intervene with someone who sees no reason for living. Very funny some real ridiculous stuff in here.
You must be fucking joking. Putrid commercialization and Hollywood-ification. Makes a big melodrama action movie about the Holocaust with the veneer of cinema. Even gives the Holocaust a happy ending! The famously lamented shower scene is just absurd, what was this idiot thinking.
Spielberg should stick to schlock like ET and Indiana Jones. This is the most offensive film I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing. Good grief.
How do you even make something like this. How do you think of it. Who thinks about fatalism and Henry James and writes a multi-century Buddhist Elliot Roger odyssey with AI and Dasha Nekrasova and rude nightclub lesbians and Trump popup ads and the Great Flood of Paris. Incredible shit.
