So if Taxi driver was about a Protestant… liked all the distant shots and bleak color drained interiors. And yes we are destroying the earth. Also good organ joke

So all the performances were great and very stylistic and nihilistic. Don’t look for redemption here. Absurd and twisted but not sure of the depth. Came out and had to literally shake myself to stop the awful hollow feeling that crept into me during the viewing

Amidst a stunningly beautiful landscape the ugly heart of colonialism is revealed. Genocide is shown graphically, rapes and scalping, forcing of natives to commit atrocities against their own people. The settlers depravity is contrasted with their clinging to wealth and European civilization at the end while the native maids serve them tea. Satisfaction of the end when the wonderful woman does not drink their tea!!!! And you’re actually speaking to the screen- don’t drink the tea Don’t do it

Stood the test of time. Arch comedy. Whimsical. Mother is excellent comic timing - Harold this was your last date!!!! And good social satire , the shots with all the men admonishing him , the military man with a giant portrait of Nixon, then cut to the shrink with the fat seventies ties and the Freud portrait, finally the priest and the pipe portrait. Nice touch. Nostalgia at its finest
