“We’re all bored now. But has it ever occurred to you, Wally, that the process that creates this boredom that we see in the world now may very well be a self-perpetuating unconscious form of brainwashing created by a world totalitarian government based on money and that all of this is much more dangerous than one thinks and it’s not just a question of individual survival, Wally, but that somebody who’s bored is asleep and somebody who’s asleep will not say no?” - Andre Gregory in 1981’s My Dinner With Andre

My coworkers hate when I send these videos via text at 7 am

Video not available, alternative link or title to search for?

If you search for “My Dinner With Andre” on YouTube, you’ll find the entire movie, which is well worth watching. Not sure what the timestamps for this exact clip are, though

Boredom is something as old as man and a common theme in Philosophy and Literature... vb in Goethe's Faust. It is generally more interesting to look within ourselves before looking for world governments in the shadows.

Wonderful

Classic movie. Very prescient. Was it a message, a warning or predictive programming? Make your own narrative and don't get fooled in to following the narrative others are trying to feed the population. 🧡

My dinners with Andre we’re not boring

Great movie 👍

💯

The whole thing... Deep, beautiful!

"... we need is a new language"... "Some kind of language between people that is a new kind of poetry, that is a new kind of poetry, that is the poetry of the dancing bee that tells us where the honey is. And I think that in order to create that language, you want to have to learn how you can go through a looking glass into another kind of perception".
