Re: Wait Mr. Higgins! Not kaka at all......

What I meant was that all human beings posess most of the qualities - it is just the matter of degree.

So to say "everyone is a hypocrite" is totally meaningless, as it is the degree of that that really separates the hypocrite from a non-hypocrite.

Ditto for beauty - is there a definite line above which a person is beautiful and below - ugly? Not really.

Therefore simply identifying some traits in a person that might be considered traces of hypocritical behavior - if put under a microscope - doesn't make one a hypocrite. After all, a hypocrite is probably one who displays great dose of that and regularly, so it is all in the degree as well.

I also didn't like the eating/defecation comparisson... it is way too shallow to have any interest... it is something a thre-years-old should struggle and discover, really.

But that goes to the strength of Bunuel as an artist and observer - it is NOT in making those trivial comparissons, like Ebert is suggesting, but rather in spite of those trivialities. Ditto for his surrealism - another shallow trait... he is successful not because he is one, but in spite of that.
