"No man, for any considerable time, can show one face to himself and another to the multitude without finally becoming bewildered as to which may be the true." - Nathaniel Hawthorne
Too many people are only willing to to defend rights that are personally important to them. It's selfish ignorance, and it's exactly why totalitarian governments are able to get away with trampling on people. Freedom does not mean freedom just for the things I think I should be able to do. Freedom is for all of us. If people will not speak up for other's people's rights, there will come a day when they will lose their own." - Tony Lawrence
"If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate." - Oliver Wendell Holmes
AquotefromLastTrumpetNewsletterbyDavidJ.Meyer:
Huxley was a writer for the Illuminati. He was also a mystic who advocated the use of psychedelic drugs. Huxley also wrote Brave New World and numerous essays. Consider some of his words as follows: "We are in a process of developing a whole series of techniques which will enable the controlling oligarchy to get people to actually love their servitude. A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors, and school teachers�..The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth."
Aldous Huxley
Reviews
Idioterne (1998)
What is the point of the film?
After a series of sometimes funny and sometimes surprising set-ups of this group of people playing tricks on different people and/or breaking social norms to get reactions there is a sudden shift. The movie changes from it's "gag reel" to attempting to now make the audience it's victim. The movie attempts to shock the audience with an extended group sex scene. Instead of showing other people being shocked or offended--the "joke" is now on you--By showing what is normally taboo behavior (group sex) the audience can now feel what the bystanders in this film must have felt (shock/shame/confusion/concern).
Did this film teach you anything? Did it make you think about your prejudices against the mentally handicapped? Did it make you think about how society just wants to hide people like this? Did it make you judge those who were doing this? Did you get angry that society judges those who are deemed "different" and unacceptable? Were you angry with the group for harassing good people? Who did you vilify in this film? Did this film cause you to not only question your beliefs but question your reactions to those being portrayed? Think about this film--it's a film that was made to make you think about what everyone considers "normal" and what society will accept and on what terms it will accept people who are different from everyone else.
An interesting thing can happen when watching this film: you can begin to really invest in the story line of who the group participants are. You try to understand more deeply their reasons for doing this--you begin to try to empathize and analyze what would make them do this? What are their motives? What are they getting out of it? What is the point of the film? The point of this film is to make you think about your own prejudices being presented in the story line and hopefully face them.
Sleeping with the Enemy (1991)
Poor girl jumped from the frying pan into the fire
As I see it, when the main character, Laura, left her husband only to be pursued by an inane and sexually aggressive idiot she was no better off. He was only interested in getting into her pants and totally insensitive to her. This type of woman is always attracted to and attracting this same type of man. This movie would have been much better if they had an older lady and/or older man who lived next door who would help her to feel better about herself. Not a potential boy friend. It sends the wrong message that you can leave a three year life of hell and in a week set your whole life up with another person (as long as they don't play classical music). The ending of the movie is the really sad part. She chooses to kill her attacker. She decides not to give him mercy. It would have been better written if this little aside hadn't happened. Once again, it gives the wrong message that you have to kill the person that you chose to marry and live with in order to get away. In real life she couldn't have killed him and gotten away with it. If she had left after the first or second abuse happened then she would've been better off psychologically and physically. Exactly how long did it take her to figure out she needed to leave? This film could have been better written with a more solid, substantial story-line and less predictable. Julia Roberts acting was still emerging at this point in her career and not as matured and well acted as her later performances. I enjoy a movie much more when the characters are given a past (in this movie, for example, you could have seen a flashback of her father abusing her mother) and the psychology of the person is explored with more depth.
Testament (1983)
I am a housewife
I am a housewife.
The term housewife has become politically incorrect but at the time this movie was made there was no such thing as "Politically Correct".
I understand this movie from a perspective of a woman whose entire life is centered around her home--her family, neighbors and friends.
This is what is so touching about this movie: it is centered around a woman who is truly in love with her husband, her children, her home, her community, her role in that community of friends and neighbors. This movie is so devastatingly accurate and honestly touching because it shows these integral parts of a stay-at-home-mom's life. She has normal routines that are all like the ebb and flow of the ocean. They change with the seasons but they are there and they are firm and flow freely. Slowly each and everything single thing that means anything is ripped away from this woman. Her husband, sex life, the joking and fun, even the normal arguments are gone, her sense of security that comes from her husband's presence is stripped away. Her precious children one by one are eaten alive by a force she can not fight. Her routines are gone, her friends have left, her community is desolate--it has become a graveyard. Some very poignant scenes involve the nursing mother (portrayed by Rebecca De Mornay) that is robbed of even her ability to nurse her baby. Scottie's tree that was planted when he was born is dying too. Every single thing that makes this woman love life and love her family is totally and utterly destroyed. This film touches your soul if you have ever loved what the main character loves.
Even the endeavor the community goes through to attempt to maintain normalcy by continuing the children's school play is grief-filled. Any parent viewing this film will identify with the main character in her struggle to survive day by day. The depth of love and despair that is portrayed through out this film is beautiful.
Every person that is ever in a position of power to help decide the fate of this country should be made to watch this film.
Testament is a warning and a very real possibility in our current day.
This film should be required viewing for all high school seniors to graduate. We need a generation of teens to be exposed to this film so that they can see how their vote and decisions in life could affect the entire world. This film evokes the same feelings of desperation that you experience when viewing Schindler's List and The Pianist. The real terrors of war are put on American soil in a small hamlet outside of San Francisco with likable characters and a plausible story line.
It always reminds me of how precious life and our society are and how very vulnerable we all are to having it all taken away. My prayer is that this film will not be a prophetic representation of our future.
