Truman Capote's "The Thanksgiving Visitor" (1967) 3/5

[Jabe88]

This scene is probably the saddest in the whole film...

It embodies deception, loss and grief.

By the way, today, the 13th of June is the sad anniversary of our beloved Geraldine passing away... I love you Gerry...

I second that.

To quote R.D. Laing:

"From the moment of birth, when the Stone Age baby confronts the 20th-century mother, the baby is subjected to these forces of violence, called love [...]. These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of its potentialities, and on the whole this enterprise is successful. By the time the new human being is 15 or so, we are left with a being like ourselves, a half-crazed creature more or less adjusted to a mad world. This is normality in our present age."
