Bioscope

 


 

TCM plays the most beautiful classic movies such as Lawrence of Arabia and Girl Happy; yes I know the two are very different in that one is annoyingly  light and frothy and the other has political tones and racial subtext, but dangit both are good in their own respects. Girl Happy has really got me into this whole 'Elvis hype' I'm looking forward to seeing his other movies : Viva Las Vegas (1964), Change of Habit (1969) and King Creole (1958). Another Favourite of mine is Peter O'Toole, guy was HOTTT when he was younger, with the ginger hair and green eyes damn!!!! Well I love 'Lawrence of Arabia',' Becket' and 'The Ruling Class' and I cant wait for TCM to air those. And of course The IT man himself, Marlon Brando. The first time I ever saw this man act was in 'The Godfather', and he scared me. Then I saw him in 'A street car named desire' as part of my schooling at an art school and from that day on I've been a huge fan of the man, and not just because of the "Stella scene" or that tight t-shirt he was wearing. From this artist I would love to see 'The wild one'.

I couldnt decide so I just delved right into racism and words used to subjectify, label and oppress, I told him that it goes both ways, that any one of any race can be a racist if they are prejudists. By the time I had finished explaining the book by Steve Biko ' I write what I like' he still looked confused and he asked, " So these words only hurt people who care too much about them? Why dont we just pretend it never meant what it did before?", I almost cracked up, dude is right; we give weight to these words. By being overly sensitive about ...
