Capturing The Friedmans

Documentary about a family that is accused of child molestation in the 80's. All of their awkward nerdiness and dysfunction is captured on home video cameras.

Collapse.

some thoughts about a move you both know well:

The Man: Rants like a republican. There is a phrase that reminds me of his argument style, something like "To prove the truth of the bible he quotes matthew, luke, and john". With that said he is a brilliant mind who will leech his ideas into your head and hopefully convince everyone to buy less shit.

The Film: Hints throughout the movie suggest the man's insanity. So subtle, even he hasn't seemed to fully realize it. (i.e. "It has become increasingly clear that heavy cigarette smoking is intimately associated with the schizophrenic illness and that this may have implications for the underlying neurobiology of schizophrenia"). Smith gives Ruppert an opportunity to make people finally listen to him (and actually want to).

The Paranoia: Rappers have been getting it right since the 80's- buy gold, guns and boats, get friendly with your community gang and grow your own.

Our Brand is Crisis

Bolivian president 'Goni' hires James Carville's DC based political consulting firm to run his campaign for reelection. Real politics are scarier than fake politics.
