Let me tell you about the residents of hyper-cities. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born a resident of a hyper-city, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different.
The London of the 90s wasn’t real. If you didn’t want it to be real, you just paid some money.
Questions for discussion:
- Which of these videos “feels” “more real”?
- Did the writings of F. Scott Fitzgerald “reflect” “reality”?
- If so, does his writing still feel real “today”?
- What is the influence of Zelda Fitzgerald’s schizophrenia on our reality?
- Would you pay money to make these questions go away?
- If so, how much?
- Really?
