I know typing may not be your strong suit, but how about some response beyond Gibbon, Rome? I like Von Trier the film maker. But Von Trier the social commentator leaves much to be desired. Except by people who are predisposed to swallow his uneducated prejudices. Odd, whenever Von Trier apologists are confronted with their heroes' questionable experience and education, taken in conjunction with his clear hyprocisy, used as a foundation to make the commentaries he makes, particularly about America, they, and he, are silent.What would you think about a visible commentator who has never visited, oh, say, Brazil, commenting negatively upon it's political system, their economic system, etc., and their only "knowledge" is learned from books, movies, and talking with people who are like minded? Your likely answer: depends if I agree with them. Oh yea, Gibbon, Rome.
