Can You Dig It?

Summary: Subtle Genre Homage.

Quite brilliant satire of Blaxploitation that sums up the genre perfectly without descending into mere parody.

This movie never puts a foot wrong in terms of photography, direction, poor camera-work, bad continuity and acting. Michael Jai WHITE, in particular, understands exactly what he is doing. The actor’s martial-arts skills perfectly combine Jim Kelly, Jim Brown & Fred Williamson into a stylish and physically-astute performance of a “righteous dude”. Everyone here is just as pitch-perfect.

The critique of the White supremacy of deliberately allowing the sale of illegal drugs to Blacks (& of Blacks acting White) is well-presented, with an especial focus on White men’s greatest personal fear: The Black Man’s penis and the latter’s concomitant appeal to homosexual men and heterosexual women of all races, creeds & colors. (White’s greatest political fear - that the would-be oppressed will inflict vengeance upon the oppressor - plays a lesser role in the satire.)

Freud was Right: Sex is the Basis of White Psychology

Summary: Young, Dumb & (Still) Full of Cum.

The usual White infantile approach to sexual feelings made manifest by the White inability to communicate desires to others without the need for alcohol - exacerbated by the belief that sexual intercourse is merely an end in itself, rather than also a means to an end.

Skinny White girls are presented as the supreme subjects of male lust; revealing White sexual monomania and volitional lack of variety - despite the latter being the spice of life. It is almost as if Whites think spouting their sexual obsessions in public makes them feel better about being sexually-neurotic in private; helping Whites make their psychological problems actually seem normal and natural - at least to them.

The basis for truly satisfying sex is never explored nor dramatized; leaving the audience panting for the same satisfactions as the central characters - with just the same negative results.

The virtues of monogamy are also never spelled out. In any case, most here would be unable to fully apply themselves to serious relationships; having such meager personalities and characters.

Are White men so sexually-incontinent because of a lack of sexual ability? Or because they lack any genuine motivation to experience the breadth and the depth of sexual experience? Or is it the simple lack of opportunity inherent in a sexually-repressed culture?

That these characters have never grown up is a tad depressing - but only to be expected from a culture that believes people never really grow up but, instead, just get better at hiding their immaturity: Strengthening their defenses as a substitute for successful ontogeny. One can only conclude that the underlying problem here is a basic lack of human warmth - along with the lack of a genuine sense of humor.

A terrifyingly-mediocre sex comedy that is not as good as American Pie - and that wasn’t all that great. No wonder most pornography is produced and consumed by White males, if their sexual lives are anything as dull, as insular and as narcissistic as this.

Once a Prostitute, Always a Prostitute

Summary: Fine Summation of White sexual disaffection.

Interesting film about the White male dislike of White women which successfully explores the fact that this leads White women to live double lives in order to have any emotional satisfactions at all.

The emotional dissociation from pleasure and the anhedonia of the characters are well-presented and explain why prostitution (like its sister activity, pornography) should be so prevalent in an allegedly sexually-liberated Western culture.

The central issue here, becomes not that ones daughter is a prostitute, but that she wants to discover what others fear and avoid: A full life. The fact that she has made a dangerous choice is irrelevant to the fact that she feels the need to make such a choice - despite the obvious, extra-cultural alternatives.

Marine VACTH’s character tries to understand why sex is a problem for Whites yet, in the process, merely discovers White male lust as a substitute for desire - from which she cannot discover her true feminine self; leaving her as anhedonic as before. As an actress, VACTH captures the duality of her character effortlessly - along with the baleful affects of the White need for a pornography from which Whites learn their sexual behaviors.

The problem with this film is that it does not roam outside its own culture to discover a better way for people to live their sexual lives; something Whites clearly believe is impossible since Whites do not believe they can learn anything useful from anyone not White; giving the clear sense, here, of characters trapped in a social abyss of their own making.

White Loneliness

Summary: Politically-Themed Comedy.

Excellent movie about the White inability to have Personal relationships with those they love - in case they lose the friends they already claim to have; choosing, instead, to have Political relationships based on those they can mutually hate. Such loneliness means wanting those one does not like - and who do not like one - to be some kind of forced friend.

This White sense of the alienation and loneliness Whites wish to inflict upon others is well-represented in political pressure being applied to help condemn ones true friends or face being blacklisted and unable to work in the entertainment industry. Ultimately, this leads to family-members denouncing one another: An attempt to undermine the very foundation of the institution of the family Whites pretend to be protecting through their anti-communism and then replace it with loyalty to the State as the highest social good.

McCarthyism, the basis for present-day (2015) Political Correctness, is evident in the emotionally-repressed nature of the witch-hunters compared with the personal warmth of the communists; making McCarthyism a kind of peculiar advert for the adherents of Karl Marx.

This White predilection for witch-hunts (eg, those frequently-directed at Muslims, Blacks, Jews, etc) to scapegoat Whites’ own failings, is well to the fore here - despite Whites’ frequent claims of cultural superiority to other cultures who do exactly the same. There is also a sense here that Whites’ believe true power comes from forcing others to prove a negative: That they are not a communists.

The central character begins as an apolitical schmuck with a cockamamie job who slowly comes to see the destruction of his friend’s lives and their sense of self-worth: He eventually has to decide what side of the political fence he really stands on. The only failing here is that this film does not have enough to say about the free speech the communist writers are being openly-denied.

TETSUO: The Ironman (1989)

Men Alienated by their Inventions

Aside from the occasional self-indulgent pretension, this is a startling body-horror movie of some brilliance. It is what the remake of The Fly was and what both Eraserhead, Bad Taste and Videodrome could have been if they had had the courage.

(https://jurnaldefilme.wordpress.com)

Focusing on the external bodily changes of the characters, it creates a metaphorical world in which Man has become his own machine as his own inventions begin to devour Him and take Him over. This movie also analogizes Westernized materialistic relationships that become mechanical through an obsession with sex.

(http://dailygrindhouse.com)

Here, human beings do not sweat to cool down but to lubricate their moving parts from the outside. Their alienation is exemplified by gross bodily-transformations that border on the ridiculous. But the humor here is decidedly black in this tale of a Frankenstein who is both creator of the monster and the monster itself. The transformations - expressed in terms of ingesting and regurgitating from various bodily orifices - are stylistically reminiscent of the animations of Jan SVANKMAJER.
