[b]Milos Forman
People who make documentaries have to be faithful to the facts. But when you are making a drama, a fiction based on the life, all you have to be faithful to is the spirit of the facts, which I think I was in every case. As long as you don’t violate their spirit, you can play with the facts.[/b]
Just short of, say, making things up.
Because if you lived, as I did, several years under Nazi totalitarianism, and then 20 years in communist totalitarianism, you would certainly realize how precious freedom is, and how easy it is to lose your freedom.
In Trumpworld for example.
The worst evil is – and that’s the product of censorship – is the self-censorship, because that twists spines, that destroys my character because I have to think something else and say something else, I have to always control myself.
That’s what it will do alright.
I’m convinced the Beatles are partly responsible for the fall of Communism.
How partly?
You know, 20 years… the films of television when it started, the literature, radio in communist countries, they’re clean as a whistle; there was no violence, no sex, no drugs, nothing.
Those were the days.
[for some anyway]
What I like about masturbation is that you don’t have to talk afterwards.
That’s true and then some.
