Cold White Whine

The usual White whining about how no-one can trust no-one in White culture.

The usual directionless esthetic expression of human emotion fails to enlighten us as to why Whites are as unempathetic as this; a depiction degenerating into criticizing others for their emotional inadequacy as a means of Projecting & Displacing ones own inabilities.

This movie wastes a great cast on little more than the superficiality of White culture where Materialism has replaced Happiness as a social and a personal goal. This makes the characterization feeble because the characters are so similar to each other.

This meta-film talks about Whites rather than expressing who they are - in any deep sense. Much like in real-life, Whites are unable to really address why they have created such a lonely and such an emotionally-masochistic culture. Is it the White insularity that inevitably springs from White supremacy?

Despite the title, there are no real endings here - happy or otherwise.

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.

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.
