GOODMAN'S ATTACK offers a vivid example of the extremism fostered by the Israelis uncompromising attitude--what Defense Minister Ariel Sharon calls the "will to live." It should therefore make Israelis take stock and reassess their country's intransigence. By basing their nation's survival upon military force and repression, Israelis are skirting future disaster--and risking the betrayal of the Zionist principles of social justice upon which their nation was founded. In other words, "the evil will to live" may ultimately bring about willful self-destruction. Israel's true security--its liberation--can only be maintained if the country...
Innocent yet animal. Irena embodies the conflict between the two natures of sexuality, and Kinski, emulating her success in Tess, gives an admirable performance. Though the sexual theme holds great potential for creating vivid, powerful characters, Irena could be played by a stuffed animal. The audience, primed with Cinderella fairytales and pubescent fantasies, already knows Irena's conflict. And so director Paul Schrader (American Gigolo, Hardcore. Blue Collar) uses his characters as no more than props...
Kollek's friends have ranged from Anwar Sadat, who called him "the most famous mayor in the world," to Frank Sinatra and Marlene Dietrich. Another friend is Saul Bellow, who has provided a vivid portrait: "Kollek is ponderous but moves quickly-a furiously active man. His is a hurtling, not a philosophical soul. His face does not rest passively on its jowls ... His reddish hair falls forward when he goes into action... Everyone serves his ends, and no one seems harmed by such serving...
...well-produced look at three melancholy places. But as in most documentaries, vivid pictures had to be conscientiously "balanced" by words that were inevitably less vivid. In El Salvador viewers saw familiar shootups and corpses in government territory; with the guerrillas, as Moyers said, "you see what you are shown." At the end of 90 minutes, Moyers owlishly summed up in documentary neutralese where "we Americans are": "It is tricky now to tiptoe across a tightrope carrying the past on one shoulder and fear of our enemies on the other." Viewers, after being subjected to so many pathetic widows, arrogant...
...Singer's long career was the Nobel Prize, in 1978. This enchanting book is another. The Collected Stones is not exactly that; Singer selected 47 from the more than 100 he has written over the years. But the samples preserved include enough imps and demons, spiritual pilgrims and vivid Hasidim to satisfy the author's most fervent admirers...
