Make Love, Not War
Funny movie about narcissistic Whites – and their acolytes – who cannot make personal relationships work.
The usual White emotional dishonesty is well to the fore as no solutions to the problems presented is ever outlined. Indeed, the problems themselves are neither clearly defined nor explained. Thus, the central characters are needy and desperate as they try to make reality fit their psychological deficiencies - the classic definition of a mentally-ill person – rather than the other way around.
White self-repression is shown as rationalizing rather than just experiencing life. That is, taking shortcuts to wisdom by evading the hard work that understanding oneself necessarily entails. Like the Naturist confusion of nudity with honesty, Whites fear that actually enjoying sex and its attendant emotions will lead to social collapse. The result is that Whites conflate sexual intimacy for personal intimacy such that sex becomes a substitute for all intimacy.
The truth is that Whites conflate the Personal with the Political such that all relationships become politically-correct rather than emotionally-satisfying. This leads to the forced, ideological and arranged “marriages” one sees in abundance here. They seek completion through others – all taking and no giving - because they have nothing to share; inevitably resulting in failure.
What is worse, like Whites in real life, these repressed characters become emotionally dissociated by renouncing culture, as such, so their humanity is lost in favor of materialism. Then they have the cheek to whine about it - morning, noon and night.
This film is really about the immemorial emotional void at the center of White culture, not about Whites rediscovering their humanity.
