Ya know what’s amazing? I always thought Holocaust deniers were in the lunatic fringe. I always just kinda figured with so much work to spread the history, with so many utterances of “we must never forget,” it would kinda…you know, mean something. And then Mel Gibson started giving interviews about his new pornographic bloodfest.
Mel can go on TV and say the Holocaust never happened, and Diane Sawyer, or whomever, will just nod and smile.
Shit. Guess we have a little more work ahead of us.
Addition: Roger Ebert offers a fairly good review of the movie itself, seperate from the “artist”.
Paul makes the good point that this article is short on links and citations and heavy on criticism. I guess it just appealed to me as a logical capstone to all of the other things I’ve read about this movie. Frankly, I’m so sick of it that I don’t want to read any more, link any more, or think about it any more, so I’m just going to let this one stand until someone sends me a better article.
