[Redbook1:202][19710410]{Anarchy
and Stability}[10th April 1971]
10th April 1971
The
borderline between stability and anarchy is very fine, and close to us; which
side we stay of it depends not so much on the Law as on people's awareness of
their whole danger.
Therefore I
do not object to killing in films; but I object to casual killing, very
strongly. That is why I disliked ‘Where
Eagles Dare’, which I have just seen, so much: not because it was a weak plot
(which it was) with shallow meaning (which is understandable) and too
black-and-white; but because people flashed onto the screen, died, and
disappeared. There was fear, but no
pain; there was death, but no bereavement.
And there was laughter in the audience at a neat way of killing.
