I agree — that's one thing that would have made the story a little more complete.
Just one scene somewhere in the start that shows Elisabeth getting some benefit from Sue's existence.
That would also have given a payoff to the scene where Elisabeth tries to bring back Sue: "Please come back! We have to get ready for our big night!!"
If you're "judging" you're taking multiple things and comparing them, and placing them in some sort of order.
But the key is multiple things.. because if there is only one thing you cannot compare it to anything, therefore you cannot judge it.
So if you compare Diddy --> to a white man who murders and eats people, then you will see it one way.
If you compare Diddy --> to a white man who works hard and takes care of his family and writes poetry and paints art and shares good news with his community then you will see it another way.
I think the question you're trying to ask is: what makes some events interesting to people as a whole, and other events uninteresting?
Simple explanation: it's about "story."
The story of WWI (or most other wars for that matter) cannot be condensed into something that the average brain can manage.
The story of Titanic can be condensed, and comprehended. Therefore it is memorable and interesting.
"a lot of nudity doesn’t quite equate to being T&A."
I like that - I think you put it well.
I guess a key word might be "fun." These days there might be nudity.. but it's either hardcore porn, or serious dramatic/violent shows. In other words: sexy, fun, hot girls, just enjoying being sexy and fun.. without expecting you to jerk off or make a dramatic/emotional statement... is becoming rare -- at least in the mainstream.
Still, I wonder how often Penguin hung out with his henchmen in 1966? I get working together... but I would bet Penguin had other people he chose to be around in non-work situations.
I would have liked to have seen Victor have a dinner date with a nice lady friend.
Is this the man...?
Anyway I have the scene open right now... A few questions:
- Victor and Cuz are just hanging out. About to have lunch... And, I mean, do you really need to have lunch with your henchman?
- When Axel threw Cuz.. they lost some of the fruit and salad items—a lot of orange slices. But the good stuff (including the whole roast pork) was on the opposite end of the table and still intact. So.. did he really wreck the buffet at the Harrow Club?
More Leto?
Or less Leto?
Ok here's a question for you:
Do you think the "Literal rapists, assaulters, racists, druggies, probably some murderers too" would..
A) want you to pay to see this film?
B) want you to skip it?
Yes good question! I now realize I forgot to add my opinion to the observation!
I was definitely not angry!
And I was definitely happy about that :)
There are clearly white people who dislike themselves, who dislike other white people for being white, and feel guilty about being white.
It's a shame because one thing they've accidentally done is increase the momentum of that by hiding the fact that less than 10% of the global population is white.
Repeat: in 2024, less than 10% of the global population is white.
So, instead of loving themselves, they go around teaching each other they must consider the "minorities" -- forgetting that they ARE a minority!
1. The solution is always more love.
2. More love STARTS with more love to yourself first. (Only after that you can start loving someone else)
3. This applies to all people.. and especially to the people who only represent 9.5% of the global population.
