What's Disgusting About The Dirty Harry Movies

Great Movies Are Rarely Perfect Movies.

At The Movies, We Are Gradually Being Conditioned To Accept Violence As A Sensual Pleasure. The Directors Used To Say They Were Showing Us Its Real Face And How Ugly It Was In Order To Sensitize Us To Its Horrors. You Don't Have To Be Very Keen To See That They Are Now In Fact Desensitizing Us.

If It Took Some Effort To See Old Movies, We Might Try To Find Out Which Were The Good Ones, And If People Saw Only The Good Ones Maybe They Would Still Respect Old Movies. As It Is, People Sit And Watch Movies That Audiences Walked Out On Thirty Years Ago.

Vulgarity Is Not As Destructive To An Artist As Snobbery.

Where There Is A Will, There Is A Way. If There Is A Chance In A Million That You Can Do Something, Anything, To Keep What You Want From Ending, Do It. Pry The Door Open Or, If Need Be, Wedge Your Foot In That Door And Keep It Open.
