Changing attitudes and challenging prejudices is now where the battle is at, and popular culture is both a tool in that fight as well as a barometer of the state of that battle.

Ok.  So this is a signifier then.  Mass Culture and the Culture of the Moralist are melting in I guess.

I guess these movies are more important than I give them credit for.

It's a hypothetical movie that I use as shorthand to represent the kind of movie August1991 would like to watch.  It stars unattractive people, a drab setting, and has no special effects at all. A chain-smoking French woman with unshaven armpits and an out of shape middle aged French man talk about their relationship, over the course of two hours and many cigarettes. Subtitles are provided for plebs like me.  It is the greatest cinematic achievement of our time.

Have you seen Amour ?

I care you to watch it.   I don't know what August1991 looks for in a movie but I imagine he would like a Quebec James Bond movie.

I know of what you speak. I live in a place that's a lot closer to those backwater towns than to Toronto.
 

Yes, Toronto is amazing I agree.  Would you say that it's the ultimate evolution of the perfect human gathering or just simply the best one there currently is ?
