Dupontel: cynical reflections on materialistic life and money




by Christophe » 27/03/09, 13:17

Extract from a monologue by Dupontel full of cynicism (true to himself) from "Deux jours à rire", one of his last films:



It's frankly brutal but it's not 100% wrong ... on the bottom ...

Uh, can you specify? Dupontel teaches others. It's easier than sweeping at your door.

Exactly he sweeps in front of his door, read the summary of the film ...

Antoine Méliot, forty, has everything to be happy: a beautiful wife, two adorable children, friends on whom he can count at any time, a pretty house in the Yvelines and money. But one day, he decides to sabotage everything in one weekend: his happiness, his family, his friends. What happened in this man so that he changes so strangely behavior?


I have not seen the movie yet, only the trailer ... It's here: http://www.allocine.fr/video/player_gen ... 10575.html

He condemns the "hypervaluation" of money in our societies and hypermaterialism ... and in this he is not entirely wrong.

The example of the car is so perfect to show this: the bigger and more powerful you have, the more you are at the top of the "social ladder" ...

It may be necessary to start by redefining these values ​​of social scale ... it is part of political econology ...

If these values ​​displease him (rightly), nothing prevents him from ceasing to practice them. What is the point of teaching others the lesson?

This is a MOVIE Cuicui ...

Apparently you do not know Dupontel too much ... he is very "soft" ... it is generally quite special ...

I can have an opinion about an attitude, even if it is a compositional role.
In the same way, a healthy attitude on the part of the guests would have been to get up and take courteous leave, leaving this Ayatollah to speak to the empty chairs.
Did the writer think he was original in imagining these neurotic roles? Well, if there are any who like it ...

The dollar itself is not an ayatollah. It all depends on how we use it. Remember that greed, greed, and amassing behavior are not signs of good mental health.

Let's also remember that these are also the foundations of our economy ...

I am surprised that some people stigmatize the behavior of bankers or other financiers, kindly qualified for the occasion as "banksters", when they have only taken advantage of an opportunity that was offered to them. Any other corporation in the same circumstances would have acted similarly (at least if it has the slightest concern for consistency).

Should we repeat it? The economy is not moral or immoral, it is amoral. The economy is not at the service of man, but at the service of the economy, which obviously implies that man is at the service of the economy.

and the absence of morality that you quote).
It is because of this lack of morality (which fortunately does not characterize all human beings) that rules, limits and gendarmes to enforce them are necessary to frame the neurotics who direct economy and politics.
