If the sole criterion for considering movies great were the acting’s psychological acuteness, this would be the best film ever made!

A White man without integrity spends his life stealing value from others – hence his estrangement from his wife & kids - even to claiming political kinship with Blacks. Yet, this is the usual White supremacist condescension from someone who’s never been racially-abused himself.

This man’s world collapses around him because it is built on sand; reminding us of the need for productive goals in life: His solution: Blow-up the White House!

This is a haunting description of schizophrenic alienation compounded by the belief that the world “owes me a living”; aptly complementing Richard Nixon’s well known paranoia. Ultimately, a film about personal responsibility and what can happen when you do not take it.
