Review of Our Betters

Our Betters (1933)
8/10
Libido Dominandi
16 November 2019
The whole Princess Diana drama was a remake of Our Betters (1933), which was based on the 1923 play of the same title by W. Somerset Maugham. The play, movie and the live-action fake-news drama were designed to make the English aristocracy look like harmless, passionate poseurs actively dissipating themselves and their fortunes. Maugham was just another homosexual intellectual acting for the British Secret Intelligence Service and up to his neck in preparing the world for the October Revolution. Maugham's The Magician pushes the Blavatsky/Crowley/Theosophy project, as did his later Razor's Edge. His Of Human Bondage is a primer for Libido Dominandi and The Moon and Sixpence is his ode to the Modern Art project.

Maugham's works are the basis for 45 films, the motion picture industry being the primary vector for propaganda throughout the 20th century. So while you are laughing at the antics of Our Betters, know that you are in the grip of a master.
