Pragmatism

Bonnie 2021-12-26 08:01:20

Sharply cut pragmatism, cut Texas, and turn Texas into an American specimen. There are very few movies with no entertainment value, and entertainment value is exactly the product of pragmatism. The so-called good people are just that God did not arrange for him to meet bad people who are bad enough.
The authenticity of the story greatly increases the sense of tragedy and the intensity of dissecting the United States.
When subtitles can actually arrange a meeting between actors and murderers, admiring the terrible film industry.

    Richard Linklater and Jack Black get together again, and there is still a magical chemical reaction. The former brings a very natural movie, and the latter brings a great performance. You can’t say this is a comedy, but it’s dark. Jack's performance gave the movie a funny, black feel. Religious beliefs, human feelings and sophistication, subjective judgments of good and evil and legal sanctions in the eyes of ordinary people, do not create drama, just show drama. ★★★☆

    What do you mean? Morality vs Law?

Bernie quotes

  • Scrappy Holmes: Well, trials are generally moved when the judge determines that the defendant can't get a fair trial locally. And that's usually because the crime is so egregious and so well-known that everybody in the community has already convicted the poor soon of a bitch accused of it. But in all the years I've been doing this for a living, I have never heard of the State seeking a change of venue because the defendant was so well-liked that they couldn't get a conviction.

  • Townsperson: I wrote the warden a letter. Yeah, I did. I told him that he had to give you a work release or something like that, so that you could sing at my funeral. Now, I'm not sick or anything, but now Bernie, you promised me that you would do that. And I totally mean wear those lil' chains or whatever if it made them feel better, so...

    Bernie Tiede: That is awful sweet, Lenora. And it would be an honor, but don't count on it. I don't think they're letting me out of here for nothing.

    Townsperson: Oh pfft... sure they will. I told him that you went temporarily insane. And we're all going insane sooner or later.
