will this touch on the conspiracy theories?

I seem to remember there were some strange goings on amongst at the hotel beyond DSK and the maid. The summary suggests that DSK in this film is brought down by his own sexual appetites, but there was always a question whether he was helped along in this regard, although that does involve questioning the integrity of the woman who accused him.

And if conspiracy is a possibility, then who's behind it, left or right? I can't see how this film could address such issues without risking getting taken to court, so presumably it will be left out.

DSK wanted to address the issue that American debts are in Dollars and not in another currency. As it still is today, the Americans can just print more dollar and devalue their own debts that way.

At the same moment he started this, this maid incident happened.

It's funny how all these movies pop up to twist reality.

In other news:

They finally found Bin Laden. No pictures were taken, but they did make 2 movies about this 'fact'.

That's interesting and would explain a lot: a French socialist (and Jewish) head of the IMF going up against the American (petro-)dollar system. Do you have a source for that? I always wondered if internal French socialist party politics might also have played it's part although Sarkozy and co were fingered as likely candidates. Hollande and French socialist feminism were the other main beneficiaries of his fall

Nobody knows what happened in the room but why didn't the maid run out of the room when she saw him?

Often a rape is simply a rape. Rapists should stop using 'racism', 'anti-Semitism' and 'anti-socialist conspiracies' as defences for their sordid misogynist behaviour and face up to their crimes.

Not everything is a massive conspiracy. Some men, like the animals who flew planes into the World Trade Centre, are simply scum.

"Rapists should stop using 'racism', 'anti-Semitism' and 'anti-socialist conspiracies' as defences for their sordid misogynist behaviour and face up to their crimes."
Even better - make sure they don't carry out such acts IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Then again, do most of them even USE such conspiracy theories as anti-Semitism as mentioned above?

"Some men, like the animals who flew planes into the World Trade Centre, are simply scum."
Well yes, pretty much, although, even though its no excuse either, some may be psychologically damaged or blinded by religious and political forms of fanatism. I guess at the core then they are simply evil, correct?

I LIKE YOUR YOUTUBE CONTENT BETTER THAN YOUR MOVIECHAT POSTS.

[–] TheMan18 (12502) 3 months ago

Sorry Kowalski mate, but may I ask, what is this about, is it about me? What "YouTube content" are you referring to and what, are you like, in disagreement with the MAJORITY of my "movie chat posts"? Or is it directed at someone else here?

Haha, OK mate, but I didn't create that page at all. And at the moment I didn't have much time to participate in it.

P.S. Seen Pedro Almodovar's "Talk To Her" (2002)? Its a great film by the way and it has one very controversial aspect to it, but many viewers and critics did find an understanding to it. Hint, it goes to an area of one particular troubling aspect and reveals one unusual side to it that is even more hard hitting than what we saw in "Straw Dogs" (1971) but it doesn't of course say its right either. But even beyond that aspect, its a great movie, would love to hear your general thoughts on it.
