I am also a big Pacino fan. He was my first movie “crush.” And he’s indisputably one of our best actors. I’m going to have to watch “Carlito’s Way” again, maybe 10-15 years after I last saw it to evaluate how correct your conclusions are. But I’ll definitely enjoy looking at young Al again! So thanks!
Have you read Naomi Klein’s “Doppleganger?” It explores a lot of the issues you refer to. Especially in the last chapters of the book. To me, it was an eye-opener to the tragedy of what Israel is doing to Gaza, with our help. The book, published in 2023, predates the current genocide, but so do other books that predate this horror. Trump and Netanyahu are each causing tragedy after tragedy in order to to aggrandize themselves and stay in power as long as they possibly can.
Interesting comparison Evan. Ever since I read Craig Unger's book "House of Trump, House of Putin" ~8-10 years ago, it has been my opinion that both Trump & Putin had "Mob Boss" ambitions. Our POTUS was just ~15-20 yrs behind the Russian mob boss. It took a world war to get rid of the Nazis mob govt. The big question is whether we can fry our mob boss before we get marshall law declaration
