It’s Captain Picard!
See!?
That’s… that’s… he looks very familiar.
So this is about a young naive prisoner (who’s also somehow the prison sub-administrator?) and everybody’s telling him to be more corrupt, but he refuses.
I’m guessing he’s gonna have a bad time.
FAT CAT SPOTTED
My problem with this movie is that there’s really no tension — we know that these fat cats are horrible, horrible people, so things are going to be horrible and depressing for 127 minutes, and then this is going to be over. I mean, even in 1973, in the UK, that couldn’t have been a surprise?
I mean, it’s not Ibsen, ey?
This is quite well made. I like it on a scene by scene basis, really, it’s just hard to stay interested…
The Love-Girl and the Innocent (Russian: Олень и шалашовка; also translated The Tenderfoot and the Tart, and The Greenhorn and the Tramp)
I think “The Nerd and The Woman” would be a better title, really. The Nerd character seems like a Mary Sue?
Well, I can tell from this movie that British people were pretty depressed for 127 minutes on Sunday, September 16, 1973. But in a kinda puzzled way: “So, er, this play was about how Stalin’s prison camps in 1945 were kinda naff? I mean, we didn’t really wonder about that; we already assumed they were, so I’m not sure we needed these 127 minutes to tell us that, but you do you, BBC! What’s for tea?”
I feel like I’m obviously a better writer than Solzhenitsyn, really.
