I'm so pissed with how this bloke treated John in this scene. He's the damn authority, yet He didn't need to push him about like that. Especially when he hadn't done anything.

Light Sleeper Paul Schrader USA, 1992 ★★★ Subdued Schrader.

"O Dono da Noite" (light sleeper) - mubi.

Desde que assisti "Fé Corrompida" tenho ficado mais de olho no que aparece na minha frente do Paul Schrader, Ele dirigiu esse com Dafoe e Sarandon em 1992. Entrou no Mubi há pouco e fui ver.

depois de ver: temática bem parecida do Fé Corrompida, mas bem longe de ser tão bom. homem solitário, que mantém seu diário, em busca de um mundo melhor. o filme se perde num romance que não chega pro espectador e cria um final bem ruim.

Everybody wants to talk. It's like a compulsion. My philosophy is: you got nothing to say, don't say it. They figure you can tell a D.D. anything, things they would never tell anyone else. Of course they're stoned to start.

Do toxic masculinity, it's very cool* and you can be just like Arthur Bremer, Travis Bickle, John Hinckley Jr., and Mr. The Joker.
