I’m sure I will be boiling over with righteous indignation by the time it’s finished.my name is katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17905341447835133368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237965744691205229.post-4554539122381291472007-05-22T11:33:00.000+08:002007-05-22T11:33:00.000+08:00No it doesn't have Daniel Day Lewis in it, in fact...No it doesn't have Daniel Day Lewis in it, in fact there is no-one attractive in it, but it is a brilliant production.<BR/>Thom and I saw the preview last night and I can tell you it is brilliant.<BR/>Perhaps one or two actors take the volume of righteous outrage too high too early, making it tedious every time they open their mouths, but that's all I could say to fault it.<BR/>I sat there getting more and more furious with the situation. As I often do when I see injustice before me. The fact Miller set it in the times of the Salem witch trials, the fact it was a parable for McCarthyism, makes it even more scary that it is EVERY BIT AS RELEVANT today.<BR/>Australians, westerners, are so bred and wedded to the idea of the politics of fear, that I fear we shall always fall back into this trap.<BR/>And the self-righteous, religious, smug, pious, and powerful, are likely to always win out.<BR/>Fear is easier to sell than reason.Boltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506404146806864513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237965744691205229.post-10019204162313062392007-05-22T10:30:00.000+08:002007-05-22T10:30:00.000+08:00Yeah for some reason I just assume everyone has th...Yeah for some reason I just assume everyone has the same nerdy interests as me.
