Nothing dennis hopper makes says any sense in this scene.
-
The poem, The Hollow Men, is one of the great poemsof the 20th century, along with about 20 other T.S. Elliot poems.
-
@44CaliberCancer Read Heart of Darkness; Dennis Hopper nails this character. He is just one of the perfectly depicted characters from the book.
-
@44CaliberCancer Absolutely. I wish they could re-shoot it and have Brando recite the whole poem.
-
@PopVulure Dialectic refers to a manner of logical argument. Check it out on Wikipedia. Kurtz has one view here and Hopper another view. Neither correct nor incorrect, just a duality of interpretation.
-
@malmswax Dialectic is like teacher student, master and slave right ? So what does Hopper mean that it's concrete ? Is hopper full of it ? I like Hopper a lot, but I"ll admit it if he's wrong.
-
And Marlon Brando apparently agrees, lol.
-
I love how none of what Dennis is talking about has anything to do with dialectics.
-
@DudleyScardsdale A penny for the Old Guy.
-
@44CaliberCancer he's supposed to be annoying in this scene.



Dennis Hopper ruins this scene. I could listen to Marlon Brando read poetry forever.

By the way... the TS Elliot poem has little Dialectic overone...it was Hopper 's character who introduced this concept...thus the "MUTT!!!!" from Brando (who disliked Hopper during the filming)...
