But, like many a satirical work, behind the laughs and outlandish interventions, the absurd punch lines and allusions, lies a work of genius that can be interpreted in a more serious manner than the film itself. For example, we...

As tempestuous utterances assailed. Any hint of an eye in the gale curtailed. By antipathy that clouded the skies. It was then that we cast off all disguise. Emotions went unchecked, thoughts were unveiled. In the dark, anger and aspersion prevailed. Unrestrained, passion could and did arise. But because I don’t...
