movie review posted at moviesbyrizzo.info :



Rope is an important movie especially for those in France in particular. Since

the French have the most profound reputation in the qualities of sensitive and

warm engagement, it is, even here, a look at cold personalities that lurk

underneath those that have a false claim to being superior in that they

consider themselves intellectually inclined instead. Those that lack human

feeling, and think they have the gift of articulation when in fact they are

bantering with what is clearly inane use of language lacking in all validity

from a moral or logical perspective in true fact. The movie provides a closer

look at the pseudo intellectual, a geekish personality of sorts whose thoughts

are fixated on psychotic needs and desires and who demonstrates that he is

altogether inane in his sense of virtue and rationality in fact. Style can

never substitute for substance.



Someone that so much lacks not only normal human emotion but instead harbors

the degree of psychosis that would lead to murder, is not someone that should

consider that he is in fact somewhat brilliant at being "superior civilized" as

in fact our character in this movie appears to think of himself.



In the end, it is what people say, and do, and indeed, mostly how they feel on

vital basic issues that matter more than the pretense of a charlatan in the

style of a sophist from Socratic era language playing at the game of

"rationally superior". Those that live by the sword shall die by the sword is

the old adage and in this respect such personalities as in this movie are in

fact an irrational, unsustainable phenomenon and will certainly only give way

to a Hobbesian reality in time if allowed to persist and prevail in our midst,

certainly. If someone appears intelligent to you, perhaps you are being fooled

by his manner rather than by what he really is. Watch and listen closely, then

stay "en guarde"!
