THE DESCENT TO HELL IN THREE STAGES – 2003-2015-2019

I brought together three films and series presented here both in English and French in anti-chronological order.

1-    The film 7500, 2019.

2-    The series Blindspot, 2015-2020.

3-    The film The Dreamers, 2003

If you take them in this backward order, you may understand that today’s world is not at all different from the one in 1968 when the Vietnam War was going on full blast, the Chinese Cultural Revolution was in full swing and the West per se was living its first full sexual revolution with the arrival of the baby-boomers to the full unquenchable desire to hormonally and fully enjoy life. Have some interesting reading.


FIRST STAGE – AMAZON STUDIOS – 7500 – 2019

There is little to say about such a film. It is just artificial entertainment that shows nothing and proves nothing. It is all stressing detail to keep the audience glued to the screen.


SECOND STAGE – BLINDSPOT – FULL SERIES – FIVE SEASONS – 2015-2020

A very long series for very little apart from stressed and stressful situations that always end well anyway, meaning leading to a worse situation in the next episode.


THIRD STAGE – BERNARDO BERTOLUCCI – THE DREAMERS – 2003

Paris Spring 1968. We all know what happened then in France. The victory of the unions, the defeat of the left, and the impossibility for the left to understand that any “events” of that sort will always lead to the victory of the right in the next elections, and today we have to update the data and say the victory of the extreme right. It might be slightly more complex, but basically, that’s what it is and when the left wins this social-minded left will become conservative within at the most two years and it might even turn reactionary within these two years, at times even less. They like power so much.


 It's interesting to bring Paris 1968 in lilne with modern hijacking of planes and a five-year long series on plotting in the USA against the US government, first of all FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, etc. Terrorism always starts within the borders of the country concerned. Homeland Conspirational Terrorism.
