Compressing as he must, Strick inevitably creates certain emphases Joyce does not. He wisely emphasizes Bloom's relationship with Molly, which is certainly the essence of the novel. This, however, tends to exaggerate the relentlessness of Bloom's thoughts on his cuckoldry. More conspicuously exaggerated is Bloom's racial paranoia, his consciousness of anti-semitism around him; but perhaps the problem of anti-semitism took on a different aspect for this film's crew, shooting in 1966, than it had for Joyce in 1922; perhaps it is no longer a sorrow from which we are capable of drawing our thoughts...
...Latter Mistrust. It was not done out of admiration for De Gaulle, whose narrow nationalism der Alte found an emotional atavism.

By the end of World War II, Lee had a whole string of businesses and a special relationship with President Syngman Rhee; he was one of a chosen few to whom Rhee doled out, at the low official exchange rate, precious U.S. dollars that had been acquired by sales of valuable tungsten. For his profitable dealings in "tungsten dollars," Lee was branded an "illicit profiteer" when Rhee...
...cheats even in the love scenes that Playboy found so frank and the Boston police so objectionable. The scenes have superficial honesty because the bodies are naked. But that's it. They don't reveal how the brother's relationship with his whores differs from his relationship with his sister. And if there isn't any difference, if in moment of supposed intimacy people are still isolated, Sjoman doesn't make it clear...
