Lying, misrepresentation and charlatanism is what defines snake-oil salesmen, and in this vein it appears that the pc chatteratti of Hollywood are little more than carpetbaggers.
Members of the entertainment industry elite, according to Mamet, occupy two entirely distinct moral universes. Celebrities spend most of the waking hours pursuing their own self-interests, looking for “any opportunity to earn more with less expenditure of effort and in more congenial circumstances”. That is to say, they work the free market for all it is worth and yet, as Mamet confesses about his own long-time double standards, rarely question the “tribal assumption that Capitalism was bad”. They crusade for the state to redistribute the wealth of others as they themselves minimize their own taxation and carry on amassing private fortunes
Thank goodness for heavyweights like Clint Eastwood.
I for one will not be seeing this movie.
