The 1942 movie KEEPER OF THE FLAME shocked me. Why? Because beloved"the hero" turns out to be a FASCIST who tricked the people. How?

By cloaking FASCISM RACISM BIGOTRY in red white and blue. Kinda like da big cheese do.

This is 2020. Da big cheese started his reign of terror in January 2017. How did the author of something written in 1942 describe da big cheese so perfectly? It was eerie. That last 15-20 minutes brought all the truth that the "hero" was to light. The bill of goods he sold the people to get them to adore him and what he really had planned. FASCISM would rule the land. RACISM and BIGOTRY would be there hand in hand. Dividing the people and causing them to HATE one another was the MO he used.

The "hero" widow (he had died in an auto accident) finally tells the truth. The whole truth and nothing but the truth. The writer (Spencer Tracy) writes all about who "the hero" really was and planned to do and the contempt with which he viewed "the people" who adored him. No more adoring.

Stunning "fiction" created so many decades ago. Truth is weirder than fiction. What man can conceive man can achieve. Thinking makes it so. Many a truth is said in jest. The name given the "hero" was ROBERT FOREST. The fictional counterpart duplicate copy of da big cheese. Ain't we got fun?
