Review

Good. Same pleasure as before. Worry that the whole thing is premised on men enjoying seeing men out of society's control. A fantasy about being able to kill or attack those who anger us. A male idyll of money, whores, food, sexy psychiatrists, uninhibited violence, and power.

What's wrong with that? Encourages rage. Road, Supermarket, restaurant, family, rage. It's the artistic parallel of those people you see on the bus, who one second are cooing and babytalking their children, the next screaming threats cunts and fucks and anger down their mobile, or at some fellow human who has bumped them or otherwise disrespected them.

The Sopranos express what we want to be, and what we should try not to be. Now go fuck yourself or I'll beat your brains out.
