CLOCKWORK ORANGE, AMERICAN PSYCHO, TARRENTINO












Loved this film.....really questionned the difference between a good and bad person. The beethoven shots with the jesus figureen and the sped up sex scenes were amazing. Im interested in this jutxapostioning of happy songs with horrible situations. eg. american psycho where its all about mixing murder with a happy song and tarantinos ear shot.
Im partcularly interested in how american psycho dealt with the ideal. the ideal physique and money etc, and the price he was playing. you also question if this stuff actually happens because u have no idea because is in no way connected. obviously it doesnt but im not sure how much of it is true and how much isnt. it is definately exaggerated. i love these exaggerations to make a point of highlighting something tho. and the cost other areas pay in the exaggeration of others. one liners also...."has to give some tapes back." The business cards.
Also with the clockwork orange.....it pretty did deal with what a good and bad person is and the choice involved in it and what are the human attributes and how do people deal with bad people in society. what is right and wrong and where it all comes from. evil.
Was talking to tatsu yesterday abnd i said i had a theory and there was too types of bad people. those who conditioned badly and lost and angry within society who havent been shown another way. and then there are those who are genetically evil. i sound a bit hitlerish but i dont mean in a way that some people should be killed etc just that.....they cant help it. it is just them.
just like some people are incapable of learning. its genetic.


The mixture of happiness with melancholy is what it is in my work. it works the same way. laughing at the happy music but something awful is happening. toilet rolls on a wall is funny....but could socialism work? no...it cant. etcetc
