From THE HILL:

 

a.  Is this headline actually accurate?

 

 

https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/373337-de-niro-backward-us-suffering-from-temporary-insanity-on/

 

 

b.  Was De Niro actually smarter than most Backward USA Climatologists, Back in 2018?

 

We are not just backward, but also we are insane, according to De Niro, it seems:

 

 

c.  Also, Trump is a FING IDIOT,  not to mention a FING FOOL:

 

 

d.  De Niro opines that the USA will, eventually, "Cure Itself", ....Eventually....

 

 

========

 

De Niro has recently been in the news on our AseanNow Forum.

And, one wonders, are his views representative of the mainstream views of AseanNow Members?

 

I have no idea.

 

I only know that I loved Taxi Driver, the first time I watched the film.

 

Martin is still one of my favorite directors, for example.

 

And, also, seeing some young thing in high-heels, pretending to be a prostitute, seemed rather risque when I first watched the film, but no longer, after being in Asia for awhile.

 

For sure, I like the INTRO:

 

 

But, I REALLY Like when De Niro tells us that:

Someday, the RAIN will come and wash all this Smoke Away, from Chiang Mai.

Maybe, Someday, but not tomorrow, I fear.

Note: I will NEVER return to the Bronx!  I doubt that even De Niro will return to the Bronx, anytime soon.....maybe....

 

DE NIRO SEEMS TO BELIEVE THAT:

 

 

And, we can only wish that:

 

Someday, a real rain will come and wash all this smoke away from Chiang Mai, I guess...maybe...

 

Here in Chiang Mai...

Does the smoke give you a headache, at times?

 

 

 

 

 

A Metaphor for the Smoke in Chiang Mai?

Maybe...

 

What do you think?

 

 

=====

What, actually, IS a metaphor in film, anyway?
