Incredibles
(2004)

RATING:100%
FORMAT:DVD

Don’t Be a Mediocrity

This one is about being the best that you can be - unlike the mediocrities with which one is so often surrounded. Neatly crossing the Addams Family and 007, this action/drama talks about the mediocrities’ revenge upon the talented, as exemplified by egalitarians claiming there should be curbs on their betters simply for being better.

A family film with the adult themes of sexual infidelity and unproductive & purposeless restlessness; lacking a meaningful goal in life. Fulfilment and, therefore, self respect means not comparing yourself with others and doing what one does to the best of one’s ability.

A sophisticated satire on superheroes, in general, and James Bond, in particular. An unnervingly-realistic mixture of naturalism and fantasy: A family movie praising the very institution comprising its audience - both in theory and in practice.

Science:



No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power.



Jacob Bronowski… (1908 - 74), British scientist, author. Encounter (London, July 1971).


Sleep of Reason:



The dream of reason produces monsters. Imagination deserted by reason creates impossible, useless thoughts. United with reason, imagination is the mother of all art and the source of all its beauty.



Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes… (1746-1828), Spanish painter. Caption to Caprichos, number 43, a series of eighty etchings completed in 1798, satirical and grotesque in form.


Humans & Aliens:



I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.



Terence… (circa 190-159 BC), Roman dramatist. Chremes, in The Self-Tormentor [Heauton Timorumenos], act 1, scene 1.


Führerprinzip:



One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves… There is no organ of conciliation or mediation interposed between the leader and the people, nothing in fact but the apparatus - in other words, the party - which is the emanation of the leader and the tool of his will to oppress. In this way the first and sole principle of this degraded form of mysticism is born, the Führerprinzip, which restores idolatry and a debased deity to the world of nihilism.



Albert Camus… (1913-60), French-Algerian writer & philosopher. The Rebel: An Essay on Man in Revolt: New York: Vintage Books, (1984; page 182.)
