TV series: “The Americans” – Season 1 (Hit)

Hmmm…… Moralities, dilemmas, priorities & loyalties!
“For you (Americans), everything is black & white. For us (Russians), everything is grey.”

Is it ethical to trample on individuals & families for the sake of a greater cause/larger purpose (like patriotism or world peace)?

Even the coolest & wisest people have their follies!

The childishness/immaturity of Elizabeth (especially in relation to Claudia) is getting on my nerves – can one be both patriotic & self-willed?

They (the lead couple) have been Americanized! The culture/biology of their context conspires against them, & no amount of training is adequate for ventures like this.

Ideals/values/principles must take a higher place than concrete entities/personal preferences/social morals.

My report: The Jennings are NOT good, or fit to be, spies! 

Because they are (too) human……??

Christians as ‘resident aliens’

Movie – “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (Hit?)

Horror impact – awesome!
Never heard/seen screaming like this…

True story??

Horror genre as social commentary – exposing the gore underneath the civilized world!

All exceptional/individual brutality is related to prevalent structural issues.
That Dracula-like scene also must have some meaning……? Or, what I mean is, I want to understand what the intention of the autuer in making that scene. Or, I want to be able to articulate intellectually, the emotional reaction to that scene. Or, I must try to address & express the cultural aspect/dynamic of such an imagery…

Capitalism as cannibalism
