Clever movie about the White rage that seeks to express itself outwardly rather than adopt a reasonable perspective on their own personal problems and actually solve them.

The movie does not analyse why Whites are so angry that they need to invent alter egos as a means of evading their guilt feelings about such violent emotions. This is one of the reasons the explicit violence makes so much sense, dramatically.

However, this lack of depth negatively affects the characterizations which are helped, nonetheless, by first-class actors who part makeup for this lack.

Science:



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

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.

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.
