Content

With Biden's victory all but confirmed, we discuss the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election: the narratives being spun to explain the results, Trump's response, why four years of Biden/McConnell will almost certainly be bad, and why there still may be cause of optimism. Then we discuss a movie for times like this: Charlie Chaplin's career-destroying anti-capitalist black MONSIEUR VERDOUX (1947), a film that told America, "Things are bad, and have always been bad."

Marriage is held up as separate from the transactional mode of living. And when times are good, it can really seem to be so -- the munitions magnate is a good and loving man, not just a way out of poverty. Verdoux seems to reject the idealistic side of marriage as a total illusion, but that humanistic streak sets him apart from the embittered Divorced Guy archetype.

Loved Will's description of the appeal of this film, that it doesn't sugarcoat reality. That it presents the world as it is - bleak. I also find stories like this to be more satisfying than stories that are unrealistically hopeful.
