In Reply to: In fact the family in LMS is NOT dysfunctional but you may be... posted by dave c on February 24, 2007 at 12:52:56:
You really nailed the issue about the "strip dance." And I totally agree with your point about dysfunctionality. There certainly were some damaged characters but they were hardly dysfunctional as a unit.

... the point was that a family can really be greater than the sum of its parts.
Perhaps a parable for humans in this time of wars.
A certain poster here seems to think my description was pretentious.
I thought it was straightforward.
Is this the greatest film I saw in the last year?
No.
But it was a very enjoyable film. A very funny film. And a film that comes back to mind later with little details and this, perhaps, parable.
What's pretensious is your slasher attacks when someone disagrees with you. Though assigning real moral weight to a contrived story about an absurd family of self-obsessives is close.
Are you sure that's what you meant to say?
Is there something about morality that only applies to certain people?
A couple of thousand years ago a guy who thought we should all be nice to each other got nailed to some wood for using ordinary people as examples of morality, didn't he?
I guess you are above such considerations as people who are experiencing problems.
Well, I hope your shiny thoughts fulfill you as it seems you have come adrift of reality.
