a be to be expect and a mazursky film make in the 70 would be counter culture and sympathetic towards the hippy and have a lot of hippy in it and and naturally and it be childishly anti authoritarian ( e. g. the scene on the mexican border and when sutherland provoke a custom officer by show little respect and then accuse the latter of make him open his luggage only because he ( sutherland ) have long hair ) . the constant leave wing dribble could have get on my nerve have i not be prepare for it beforehand while sutherland mus aloud to his family and friend about potential movie idea for his next film and and most of these idea be either about black or indian ( needless to say and he would be welcome with open arm in today hollywood ) . one of his movie idea be about a black uprising in beverly hill a race war and so to speak and in the middle of l. a. this be the kind of nonsense that mazursky think about when write script for his movie . fortunately and some of sutherland hippie friend make fun of this black revolution premise and and the result dialogue isn not bad while a little later and the jewish guy make a crack about sutherland make a movie about masturbation and the black problem and when the latter start talk about masturbation . another funny moment be when sutherland old daughter perform some pc crap on stage with her white school mate and and they all say represent we and the black people of the republic of south africa . there be always a certain amount of self indulgence when hollywood make a movie about hollywood especially when it hollywood make a movie about hollywood discuss hollywood do movie . now and that very and very self indulgent and indeed . the scene with fellini ( play himself ) be more amusing than annoy and though . mazursky throw in the standard flower child and anti vietnam bullshit into the soup and and also poke fun at corporate hollywood and but he be or be just as much a part of the phony hollywood ( lyric from that song in the surreal war segment ) a anyone else while i be pretty sure that he and too and make phony small talk in beverly hill party and grin fakely while shake the hand of people whom he either doesn not know or like and but whose money he want badly for his next ( left wing ) project . a for his hair represent he have the bad hair i have see in a very long time ( on film or elsewhere ) while it sort of like the kind of long hair that a middle age accountant would have if he grow it long . the film remain relatively interesting in spite of it aimlessness and but it bog down somewhat into tedium in the last third . if you would like to read my parody or biography of donald sutherland ( and other hollywood actor ) and contact me by e mail .
