Old beauty's non-theme

Started like an angel, suddenly turned into a bitch, actually a poor lamb. The video of Eli giving a lecture at the end of the film brings this dark story to an end. I thought it was another Chinatown, but it was more like an unknown recipient, in terms of artistic conception. Anti-military and anti-X is anti-violence and anti-pornography, rethinking.
So many familiar faces. Jack's father was so skinny that he didn't look like a general. In fact, he was not 60 at the time, so he looked old! The male protagonist in Videodrome is another perverted good guy. There is also the female psychiatrist from Twelve Monkeys, this time it is almost a counselor + a detective. John Travolta is his most successful positive image, the grinning bad boy version of justice incarnate.
It has been performed in the Central Six and in movie theaters, and it is of course obligatory to expose the ugliness of the old beauty. It only takes a few knives.

Brenner: What's worse than rape?
Moore: When you find that out you'll have all the answers.

    I still like the way Travolta plays in reverse.

    Old film, what does adding a UC in front of it mean?

The General's Daughter quotes

  • [Brenner watches another tape of one of Elisabeth Campbell's teachings]

    Capt. Elisabeth Campbell: The human eye can distinguish 16 shades of gray. A computer image processor analyzing a fingerprint can distinguish 256 shades of gray, which is impressive. The human heart, mind, and soul, however, can distinguish an infinite number of emotional, psychological, and moral shadings. In Psy Ops we deal with the blackest of black and the whitest of white. Thank you.

  • [General Campbell pays a final visit to Brenner before leaving the country]

    Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: Remember, when I asked you if you were a cop or a soldier?

    Brenner: Yes, sir.

    Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: Well, you're a soldier, Paul... and a damn fine one.

    Brenner: [General Campbell salutes Brenner before walking off, as Brenner follows] General Campbell. You're wrong. I'm a rotten soldier.

    Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: Oh? And why is that?

    Brenner: You really don't get it, do you? The only mind Elisabeth wanted to fuck with, was yours.
