1:17:04
l just think l could have been
threatened by certain things.
1:17:10
Like what?
1:17:13
Some of the attitudes towards
women and your ideas on life.
1:17:17
-You told me you loved the book.
-l do. l do love it.
1:17:23
-What were your criticisms?
-Nothing.
1:17:26
Tell me your criticisms.
1:17:28
l was a little disappointed
with some of your attitudes.
1:17:33
Like what? What attitudes? With what?
1:17:36
The way people just
casually have affairs like that.
1:17:40
The book doesn't condone affairs.
l'm exaggerating for comedy.
1:17:45
Are our choices really between chronic
dissatisfaction and suburban drudgery?
1:17:50
l'm deliberately distorting it.
l'm trying to show...
1:17:55
...how hard it is to be married.
1:17:58
You have to be careful not to
trivialize things like that.
1:18:02
Jesus, l hope l haven't.
1:18:04
The lead character's
views on women...
1:18:07
...is so retrograde, so shallow.
1:18:10
What?
You told me it was a great book.
1:18:14
l never said great, l said it's...
1:18:17
...brilliant and it's alive.
1:18:19
We're not arguing about
whether it's brilliant or not.
1:18:24
Triumph of the Will was a great
movie, but you despise its ideology.
1:18:29
So you despise my ideas?
1:18:31
No, l don't despise them.
That example was--
1:18:38
lsn't it beneath you as a thinker...
1:18:41
...to allow your lead character
to waste so much energy...
1:18:45
...obsessing over a psychotic woman...
1:18:49
...that you fantasize as powerfully
sexual and inspired...
1:18:53
...when she was pitifully sick.
1:18:56
l don't need a lecture on writing
from a 20-year-old twit.
