First I can not follow you with Hypocrite and beauty, I can not recognize any connection, help me on this one....
Follow Ups:
I simply picked the beauty as one of the qualities that EVERYONE has... just like love, jelousy, pride... and hypocrisy. I think everyone has all of those qualities, just to a different degree - sometimes very little, but even then it is still there. Sometimes these are under automatic control (call it upbringing) sometimes it takes an effort (we all fight our internal demons), so in essence what he said about hypocrisy is trivial, and could be said about ANY human trait.
I will call Bernardo, as he is so much better elocutate as I am in the English language, and I wonder what he could bring in, to go farther in this discussion.
It was, and still is very difficult to find the right words for me, as it is subtil and more complex that it looks like, but now enough empy words, I will try to go to the core of this!
First the difference between our view on this critic, maybe be one of a cultural one, let me explain: " The bourgeois " as we call them in France have always been an easy & beloved target from the artists in my country, think of J. Brelīsīsong..Les bourgeois cīest comme les cochons...The bourgeois are like pigs..More they grow olders more they are assholes ( con ).
That has a long tradition!
Of course you are right everyone is at some degree an hypocrite, but the artist ( Bunuel ) is showing us the mirror and add " donīt worry I am not better myself " that is a way for trying to be..better and find more grace for himself to himself or vice versa. And THAT is want he want to let know us. We are all part of this...shit.
But that was just a detail, I just think you have shallow this critic in the wrong throat if I may says so.
The defecation..this image is not my prefered too, but art a la Bunuel is disturbing, let me remind you that the Romans us to sit on long banks...eating and defecalting in a row. The surrealist were masters for disturbing at any price, be it a frontal attack to our " good taste " with deliberate " bad taste " la fin justifie les moyens as we say...
But I still did not manage to have a real grip on our opposed views.I feel.
We must work harder.
