this when filmed must have seemed an 'isn't it awful about them,' tale. but now we are them. or worse. the principles or lack thereof of certain branches of psychology are so easily joined with totalitarianism that it is sickening. Machiavelli aint got nothing on us. to quote Lennon: "...yet you think yer so clever and classless and free..." and we do. we buy into all the symbols of freedom and opportunity; greedily we suck that tit. is it perhaps that each one fears being singled out? For what? But if not by the State, then by whom? could it be that we prey upon each other like this? but what then is the meaning of brotherhood, from sea to shining sea? where can there be danger in being singled out, if not by the wolf pack in one's vicinity. this is not Kipling's wolfpack. not anymore. and the werewolf is revealed to be only a child's nightmare: look, he is alone. nothing to fear from that. it is the fascist pack we should fear. fear the oncoming tide of conformity, for behind it are the slavering canines to enforce it. and, they are not so obvious as to snarl publicly. this film is the realist side of a film like sliver. I repeat, it is not the State we have to fear, it is the wolves among us. to quote Harrison: "( they )will hit you; they will hurt you ... what is more, (they) are not what you are here for." perhaps the best film in the entire catalog.
