  • "The true infertility is the very lack of meaningful historical experience..." Nail on the head.

  • @sxcdanual I think it takes more than ideological despair and disconnection to cause a future where things have gone that seriously wrong. Something big has happened - global warming, a nuclear war, a massive economic collapse, we are never told exactly what - but basically an extrapolation of several current trends. Ideological despair can bum you out, but it can't cause a total social meltdown, or that would have already happened.

  • @squamish4244 you're quite wrong then and making yourself sound dumb

  • An unfortunately all-too-realistic portrayal of where we may be headed. Bummer. Although the review was a garbled mess of overanalysis. The ideological despair of late capitalism and feeling disconnected from history leads to massive social upheaval? No, I don't think that's what was going on in the movie, dude.

  • Great review, and I love this film enormuosly.

  • It has to be a background because "reality" is simulacra

  • Humanity will travel this path, without the infertility.

  • @TheRacistsMustDie He is completely right, it is the "belief" by most that is being shattered and this leads to the fundamentalism of Tea Party, among other right-wing elements, and with no reaction then despair. As Zizek pointed out in ''Violence'', maybe the losers of history did not go far enough; WW1 after 1907 crisis, WW2 Capitalism saved by Fascism, Soviet Union failed coup 1991 etc.

  • @robieski No he ain't joking and yes late-capitalism is dangerous :.P.
