I've heard this before and it baffles me. What's so "dangerous" about it-- assuming that they want to be exploited? Exploitation for a person deep in the shits is not a bad thing at all. The lack of attention is what's contributed to the decreptitude... so what's wrong with a little offputting moment in the sun for the two of em? There's this prostate-clenching fear in this country of displaying the unusual, for fear that some people will laugh at them.Antoine Doinel wrote: veers dangerously close to being a voyeuristic/exploitative look at two crazy old gals in a rundown house,
Let them laugh! They'd (the Hamptons) been attacking the Beales forever anyway, so let them break out of the cobwebs and the murk and have some fun and light and make some connections with people who actually find that they adore them. Which is what wound up happening. Let people with hangups be uncomfortable-- let the conventional think it's a sin and a crime. It was the best thing that wound up happening to the two of them, and shined a little fun and attention and even love into two previously ruined, finished lives.
We're too scared of exploiting the helpless and the strange. It's that fact-free homogenous vaccuum that gives possibility to a Sarah Palin.
