(After reading the imdb synopsis)

My considered opinion:

Yuck.

in the reference sphere of film ethiography, one would assume that a more accurate pathway to deep understanding of film would not come from reading "imdb synopsis," particularly when one is discussing the archie shepp of the film world.

i take a break as the film crashed the viewer, which likely has little to do with the title.

but you are so wrong. (well, at least that's what i say.)  i love watching, (yup, i said love) the way von Trier composes his shots to be artistic reflections on the moment's theme. in the age of playstation filmmaking, being taken back to the art of it all, even the incomprehensible parts, is exhilarating.

but then i'm just a media-molded teenager in love.

You're not helping your defence lawyer. Lars von Trier? Listen to Otis Redding. Or Archie Shepp.

Check out how Wallace prefaces his first question:

"One of the principal achievements of this country in the last 20 years I think most people will agree is the gradual growth of of social, protective legislation based on the principle that we are our brother's keeper."

Damn. How'd that Overton window get way over there?

And Rand's lead-in to her first answer: "[I feel] they everybody feels [about social programs], just more consciously."

Brilliant. Despicable, but brilliant.

Should read: "the way everybody feels..."
