If I had to choose one snippet from a movie to represent the exuberance of the American personality, it'd be this one, from, yes, The Big Country. (One of my favorite films, needless to see. Have never seen it on an actual movie screen!🙁)

The U.S. intelligentsia will prefer a static three-and-a-half-hour French art film to a legitimately-intelligent American classic with perhaps the greatest musical score in movie history. Why? They love to pretend that narrow-and-dull art is good. Snob appeal? You tell me.
Let's admit that today's culture-- especially the endless parade of computer-generated movies-- is mostly crap.
A return to Westerns is a return to authentic reality.

FWIW, in my opinion the best film portrayal of Napoleon is Herbert Lom in the underrated 1956 movie version of Tolstoy's War and Peace. Lom captures what was undoubtedly the egomania of the man-- kind of an early version of DJT, or Musk.
When you use AI chatbots or services in any way, what you are in fact doing is making the richest individuals on the planet even richer. Please,
DON'T FEED THE BILLIONAIRES!!

REGARDING some of us warning about the effects of AI: Remember that Cassandra turned out to be right.
(A still from a film version of "The Trojan Women" with one of the best casts ever, incl Katharine Hepburn, Irene Pappas, Vanessa Redgrave, and Genevieve Bujold as Cassandra.)

Right now they seek to replace writers with bots. Sign the Save the Writer petition as a first step to stop it.
