untitled (An essay concerning the subtext of the film by the same title) by Crispin Hellion Glover Is this culture content? Is it happy? Are the smiles broadcast by this culture's media the smiles that reflect the collective mind? Does the self-professed compassion of the media for the unfortunate seem sincere? Is this culture a Judeo-Christian culture? What else in this culture were the Columbine killers attacking? Were Harris and Klebold reacting to the media itself? In Civilization and Its Discontents, did Sigmund Freud define a neurotic as an individual holding thoughts that clash with those held by the prevailing culture, an individual who subverts those clashing thoughts to the subconscious that later manifest in the form of anxiety and unnecessary behavior? Is it true that in his waning years, Orson Welles asked Steven Spielberg for a small amount of money with which he could make a final film? Do Steven Spielberg's passions burn? What if you wish to express these ideas? Do you like MTV?
