It's a movie I saw at the Belcourt in the eighties even after my mom declined to give me permission to. There's a story behind the image and...the more I think about it....the more I realize the ways the film got under my skin and kindasorta made me whatever it is I am today. The film is called Brazil.
"The Beyondist Personality often charges others with being hysterical or hyperpartisan or filled with rage while insinuating that a frenzy is a-foot on "Both sides," but never—See how this works?—ones own thinking or doing."
This is an excellent synopsis. So much hides in the word "extreme." It's like calling something "big," which is always a relative descriptor (is it big to a child, to an ant, to a galaxy?). The middle, or the beyondist, is just as extreme when viewed from any number of vantage points.
Thankful for the witness of both y'all.
Not thankful for the photo at the top #nightmares
I get that. It's my best visual representation of the Beyondist Personality. Do you know the reference?
No, you are teaching me, Sensei...
