Directed by John (((Schlesinger))), adapted from a novel by William (((Goldman))). Starring (((Dustin Hoffman))) as Thomas Babington "Babe" (((Levy)))
Thomas Babington "Babe" Levy is a history student and distance runner who seeks to rehabilitate the memory of his father, who took his own life during McCarthyism. During a training session in Central Park, Babe witnesses a fiery car accident that kills Klaus Szell, the brother of Nazi war criminal Christian Szell.
Yes, I have already acknowledged that in the thread title and subsequent post. It is fun to look back at the old programming and see how it has shaped today' thinking.
Now watching a scene where Dustin Hoffman's PhD candidate disusses his father's suicide due to being persecuted by McCarthy.I remember when I was a child being taught that McCarthy was an evil blowhard. HE WAS 100% RIGHT. He rooted out a ton of Commie kikes and their shitty sympathizers.
I was sent to the office and got my detention bumped up to a suspension because I asked the teacher why he's trying to act like McCarthy was a piece of shit when he was right the entire time. Of course his detractors says he's an asshole, we was exposing their heinous behavior!
Now I’m watching a scene where he has fled William Devane and the deep state goons and bartered his brother’s Rolex to a nigger cab driver for a dime to make a phone call. This is the most offensive part of the movie to me. I bet a Rolex back then was like $700.
