More Scorsese
James Lileks has a problem with the guy too, and seeing as how he is “the Lileks!”, he expresses his qualms with Scorsese’s mouth-before-mind Iraq statements much more eloquently and forcefully than my pigswill yesterday. In particular, he closes with the following gem:
You know what I’d like to hear, just once? “As a New Yorker, I remember too well the death and destruction that arrived on our doorstep that day in September bdsm k9 play. As an American, I worry about regimes who possess both the means to kill innocent citizens and the devilish will to do it. As an artist, I value the freedom I have in a pluralistic, secular democracy, and I realize that these traits are not only rare and worthy of defense, but deserve to be extended to people in other nations fucking female horse. As a student of history, I am impressed by how our military - which has the ability to annihilate cities and nations - has spent billions to develop weapons that destroy a single building. Surely this says as much about us as our crass and extroverted culture; what other nation with our abilities would take such care? Presented with enemies who build weapons factories next to kindergartens, we invent missiles that take the former and spare the latter womens sex with dog. This may not mean we are right, but it surely means we are are bound by a notion of decency our opposites lack. As a human being, I mourn the loss of innocent life that will surely attend any war - but I must admit, if we could have prevented 9/11 with a military action that cost a dozen innocent lives, I would have supported it with the reluctance that must attend any act of organized violence. And finally, as a filmmaker who lives in a special kind of isolation, surrounded mostly by affluent like-minded people from the arts community, I must admit that when it comes to foreign affairs and military matters I don’t know what the hell I’m talking about.”
Now, even setting aside the last sentence, could you ever, in your heart of hearts, even hope for such a thing from a Hollywood celebrity? The amount of sheer clarity and simple forceful moral sense would likely cause his showbiz friends, so comfortably ensconsed in their constructed ethical fantasy land, to skitter hurriedly from the room like roaches with the lights flipped on.
