...girders and glass-with dialectics The idea of a necessary link between the nature of modern art and the aims of socialism was everywhere. "Each part of a futurist picture," Natan Altman argued, "acquires meaning only through the interaction of all the other parts"; its task was not to depict, but to explain dialectical relationships. Illegible in themselves, the fragments of form live "a collective life," like the faces in "a proletarian procession...
...life, the way John Wayne or Clint Eastwood movies do. You can't rehabilitate the alien or the zombies in Dawn-- you've got to blow them away. You don't have to blow away Vietnamese and have your audiences cheering it--unless, as in The Deer Hunter, you depict them as bloodthirsty aliens, which is a lie.

...ambiguities facing the nubile but nervous seventeen-year-old. But she skirts triteness when she sings a eulogy for her dead grandmother in one of the two "heavy" songs of the act. Reed, as Marion the sex-starved, and Rody, as Laura the oh-so-cute, faithfully depict their personality types' stereotypical reactions to predictable situations. However, they never get much beyond fairly rote descriptions of what people of their ilk ought to look like. Reed's smiles and breezy invitations, the tedious explanations she makes to her friends the morning after amuse, but don't linger. Rody, whose voice...
