...and Bobby Beausoleil is the kid with the bow and arrow in this fascinating look at the mediocrity that is, or homes in on, big money. The LA hubris has become a blueprint for cities all over the world since this groundbreaking documentary was made in the mid-sixties. As always, this was a closed scene which turned in on itself...there are Manson acolytes and victims peppered throughout the film. "The body thing is so big." Any real talent isn't apparent, just journalists, businessmen and other limpets commenting on, and clinging to, the celebrity. Prophetic, I mean just look at the scene where the royals are next to, the far more handsome, beautiful (and talented!), Paul Newman and Julie Andrews. The end-credits are superb...
and so to the grossly misleading poster (more on this in the next post - can you guess what comes next? It's dead simple)
