Topnewsplus5 months ago012 mins

In 1983, Jim McBride attempted an English-language remake of Jean-Luc Godard‘s 1959 cinema landmark, Breathless with Richard Gere. It broke one of Godard’s cardinal rules: It was in color. Although not as terrible an idea as Gus Van Sant’s disastrous shot-by-shot 1998 color remake of Hitchcock’s 1960 Psycho — which, like Godard’s forever-influential movie the…

“Special military operation.” “Department of Government Efficiency.” “Enhanced interrogation techniques.” “Alternative facts.” We live in a time when governments use lexical distortions to manipulate public opinion – the very thing author George Orwell captured so cogently in his dystopian novel 1984, where the futuristic regime adopts “Newspeak” and other authoritarian techniques to stamp out independent…
