Red Harvest is about coruption and what happens when a leader trades for power. They've retold it many times but usually leave out the corruption. I wonder why?
rom-coms are not going to advance anything. rom-coms are to get people laid on dates, they have a formula of meet, connect, misunderstanding, less happy apart, overcome
the misunderstanding and get back together for happiness.
They are not horatio alger stories.
The individual is the heart of america, not the masses who can't dream. Pursuit of happiness so the few can achieve thier potential without being held back by the many.
...
Exactly, the retarded masses can go suck a bag of dicks while the brilliant soar above them.
Thanks a lot, man! Considerations like that help to no end…
You fucks are a really complicated people, mentally, but arepretty easy to categorize too fast, because of all the stereotypes us foreigners deal with even before meeting any real person from America, and just miss a bunch
As a general structure yeah, sure. But that nagging thing the characters have did seem real with some Americans I've met. Not saying you are all like that, but I find it hard to believe that is an entire fabrication, especially after a lot of your women have been all over the world news wearing pussy hats.
sterling hayden is an american archtype.
on the rom coms, any truth there is just to setup the next joke. But on that check out Bridesmaids as there are some good social critiques in there about weddings and modern women.
a big thing is that the image males and females were present with have changed but there is no path to the new way. in the past people were told oit is enough to provide for a family but now thereare many more concerns, mor places to fail and the average person doesn't know how to act.
video clip unrelated.
That's not America, man, that's the entire West unfortunately. If you're anywhere near your thirties, all the values you were taught as positive in the 90s make you a literal monster to today's culture.
Will watch. I like finding interesting bits in stuff with a total shitty premise.
Great actor. Since we're at that, what would you say for W. Holden's character in Sunset Blvd as American archetype?
36, turning 37 this year. right on the cusp of gen X/Y. I've been an outlyer most of my life. I have ben lucky to have not chosen any path that would force me into compromise.
Holden in Sunset Blvd is an american acrhytype of the person trying to succeed and failing to something comfertable but also degrading, not just in what he is asked to do but what he must turn himself into to fit into the choice he has made.
consider Holden's character chooses the easy way when he could have kept at it and gotten the young girl. but if he had not disappeared would the young girl still be after him?
Sunset Blvd pulls from Billy Wilder's own experince of having to degrade himself to survive and may also be a comment on hollywood in that. it defintly attacks hollywood in its treatment of older starts with the "waxworks" scene.
But I think the archtype is also the young man trying to make his way in the world. a tragic Bildungsroman or a middleaged screenwriter.
compare Sunset Blvd to "In a Lonely Place"
speaking of Holden consider "The Wild Bunch" and what is perferable to changing into something you can't respect.
and what happens when manufacture hysteria posions the mind of someone in charge?
