    Movie Review

    El Conde. Netflix.

    this movie is awesome. First thing. It’s different and new. The hardest thing to do in the world is to make something different and new.

    Imagine Iñárritu ( I googled them tildes ) made a parody of Isabelle Allende’s tiresome sickly sweet books ( yes I have read some ) , Sound of Music, Interview With a Vampire, Knives Out and Judgement at Nuremberg .

    Visually, it’s really very beautiful. Tawdry scenes in horrible places with horrible people look like art. Even the dialogue of the English translation is very good, the Spanish must be like poetry. The story is a mind fuck.

    Scenes that really stick. The nun learning to fly was lovely. A joyful mind using a gift from Satan.

    The scene where Pinochet is describing some of his crimes against humanity. I have been hearing this stuff for decades and have to intellectualise or I get too distressed.* At the same time * he is blending a heart and then drinks it. Which makes me feel disgusted and sick.

    !!! Shouldn’t the description of his crimes have made me feel the same? Am I numb. 😔 Not unwillingly, but I have to make myself numb or I can’t function to do good in the world/fight these bastards in my own way.

    I will watch again.

      the message.

      Sometimes in life there are no good choices.

      Sometimes we have to get in bed with a devil, pinochet, to kill a another devil, galtieri . 😔one devil is better than two devils

      I do understand the Chileans were not happy 😔 But their turn at freedom came. Just had to get the soviets/kgb out first ( those nice guys who are committing war crimes in ukraine right now ) ( fuck, i’d forgotten how complicated it all was. The nazis were there too 😵‍💫)
