La petite bourgeoisie, how boring really...
Don't we all know it, that the middle class sucks?
We educate ourselves to mask our working class roots.
We dress up nicely to hide our stumbled fingernails.
We speak politely to disguise our animal instincts.
Polanski's new movie, with its excellent cast and interesting (if somewhat far-fetched) script tells us, once again, what we knew all along: that people are animals, and middle class people are animals in disguise. Like the pigs walking on their back two feet and wearing clothes in the animal farm.
What I particularly disliked about the movie (apart from the fact that it was boring) was that it was so naively transparent. Its intentions were extremely clear from start to finish. This movie very simply wanted to tell us that politeness is skin deep, it disguises the true nature of man. But this was so banal, so common and so clear that I really could not even concentrate.
Quel dommage!
