Maybe it's because I'm a total knuckle dragger but honestly I rarely spend a lot of time looking for subtexts and whatnot in films. Some maybe, but my general pleasure of Tarkovsky or Parajanov or whatever isn't diminished by my laziness.
In other news, I saw yesterday on Twitter that John Wayne was trending. I had a look at it was all about his infamous Playboy interview where he showed his less friendly side of him. Problem is that far too many people were acting outraged and shocked by it. I mean, c'mon, firstly they're getting outraged by an interview done 40 years ago, and secondly they're acting like they've found a big secret that John Wayne was a dickhead. Swear Twitter is the dumbest thing to happen to the internet.
