Ever see a film and identify with one of the characters for all the "wrong" reasons? I was enjoying the 2009 Woody Allen opus, Whatever Works and was frightened by the possibility that my current "track" may well lead me to Boris Yellnikoff territory. I haven't had that jarring realization since seeing Max Von Sydow's character Frederick ranting about society in Hannah and Her Sisters.
"You missed a very dull TV show on Auschwitz. More gruesome film clips, and more puzzled intellectuals declaring their mystification over the systematic murder of millions. The reason they can never answer the question "How could it possibly happen?" is that it's the wrong question. Given what people are, the question is "Why doesn't it happen more often?" Of course, it does, in subtler forms.
"You see the whole culture. Nazis, deodorant salesmen, wrestlers, beauty contests, the talk show. Can you imagine the level of a mind that watches wrestling? But the worst are the fundamentalist preachers. Third rate con men telling the poor suckers that watch them that they speak with Jesus, and to please send in money. Money, money, money! If Jesus came back and saw what's going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up."
So what about the rest of you?
well?
