the G-man said:
One thing about the movie I thought of as I watched it: has something changed about America that we no longer idolize inventors, industrialists and scientists?
We know more about them as people now. When you see their flaws, there's less to idolize.
Quote:
In the early part of the 20th century (and the latter part of the 19th century) the American public looked up to, and made celebrities out of people who actually produced something: Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, etc., were as much celebrities as Rudolf Valentino, Clark Gable and Jimmy Stewart.
I'm not idoloizing or advocating idolizing Henry Ford. Man was an infamous anti-Semite.
We all wear a green carnation.
