...Kent State today is nothing like Oberlin-or even Kent State, 1969. The bloody afternoon of May 4 ensured that the campus would not be the same for years to come. Passers-by stop at the sculpture outside Taylor Hall, insert a little finger in a clean bullet hole and quietly move on. In general there is a sense of listlessness on the campus, coupled with a lingering frustration over the handling of what the students consider to have been a massacre. Last August the office of Attorney General John Mitchell dropped further federal investigation of the incident. Two nonradical...
...Short Bullet. Scouts are impressed by the way Wichard runs the Pioneers' pro-style offense. Calling all of his plays at the line of scrimmage, he has developed the kind of radar-like sense for reading defenses that the pro teams prize. A classic drop-back passer, he is as accurate with the short bullet as he is with the long bomb. "If I need improvement in anything," says Wichard, "it would be in my ball handling. I can't spot anything I have to work on in my passing...
...that El Topo is the bloodiest movie ever made. There is no five-minute period of it without either a mangled body, a disemboweled animal, or a death, exaggeratedly bloody to the same degree that Hollywood traditionally exaggerates death's neatness. Blood spurts geyser-like out of bullet wounds, stabbed men vomit blood, pools of blood cover the ground. The deaths are shown lustily--the camera voyeuristically gravitates toward the worst of the blood. The deaths are surreal, lacking in lesson or meaning, worse than life...
...horseback again, they enter a small village which has been the scene of an enormous massacre. Horses bellies are slit open, guts hanging out. Humans lie full of bullet holes. The riders dismount and wade through the puddles of blood to explore the carnage. Due to the gaudiness of the color (which continues throughout the film) the blood looks quite a bit like Ocean Spray cranberry juice. (It may in fact be Ocean Spray cranberry juice.) But one thing is definitely real--the slaughtered animals. This is Mexico, not the Land of the Free. There is no strong ASPCA leaning...
...however, are all either evil and powerful, or noble, upright and brilliant, except for the hero who becomes noble after the first half of the movie. The Four Masters are exemplary of the great-and-noble man: the first is a Hindu who concentrates so that bullets pass through him: the second is far faster and more accurate with his gun than the rider; the next is a faster sharp-shooter who has hundreds of pet rabbits (all of which we get to see die, of course); the last is an old man who uses a butterfly net instead...
