I am a Steve Mqueen fan just like millions of people round the world, I am also a political campaigner. And I am a philosopher. I am a thinker. I have an enquiring mind. I do not follow the crowd.
I believe that the majority vote, is not always right, because they are not always right, as expressed by Mqueen's character in the film as a Scientist. And this is referred to as democracy, well in many cases democracy is an ass, but it's all we have in the real world.
So I am well able to understand Mqueens character's frustrations in facing the ridicule of others, which is primarily what this movie is about.
It has been said that Mqueen made this film, because he wanted to prove he could act, by this I am assuming that he did not make this film because he believed in the writers objective argument.
I found this out about Mqueen's reasons, after I saw the film, and therefore I was if they are true, very disappointed in Steve Mqueen as a real person.
However, if none of what I am saying bothers whomever is reading this, do please see the film, it delivers a punch when a meeting is held, which the town's corrupt Mayor turns on it's head for his own purposes which are supported by the crowd who turn up.
I give this movie 10, because of it's message about how easy it is to make fools of people who don't think for themselves.
There is an old saying. "bullshit baffles brains".
How true this is in America today while Obama is trying to help his fellow American's, and in Britain a right wing lead coalition is creating mass unemployment as an inflationary tool.
I wonder what Steve Mqueen would have thought about all this, had he not died many years ago ?
