Diarios de Motocicleta (2004) dir. Walter Salles

[orpheusmori]

"Equal hearts, in unanimous agreement, burned without shame and damned without crime. But, into the world arrived Interest; equality suddenly disappears, ambition raises it's foul head. Weeping, love abandons the world. Tyranny invents oaths; despair leads lovers astray. Gold makes laws, and Interest brings disgrace, forfeits, and hatred. Ah! Was it necessary, Heaven, in your rigor, to captivate man, and leave him a heart?"

- Saint-Just in Organt Chant IX.

Dear Saint-Just, wherever you are:

It’s a little creepy how the pretty privilege makes you a consumer product and not a serious political figure who deserves to be read as such.

Unsurprisingly, he himself criticized the commercial society (aka: early capitalism) for suppressing the individual's self-worth. He meant that the only thing that matters becomes consumption, without true freedom of expression.

Imagine criticizing a system that denatures humanity, dying, and becoming what you feared most.

For me, it's appalling that anyone can be reduced to that; humans are not products to be consumed. And much less dolls.
