A piece about Thelonious Monk.
Nifty.
But film also preserves the ugly and grim and desperate the evil. Gas chambers. Emaciated survivors of ghastly things. Soldiers marcniing in lockstep for der furhrer. Charlottesville nighttime torchlight march of the "Jews will not replace us" monsters. George Floyd being murdered by a cop. The January 6 "peaceful visit of thousands of very good people who invaded the Capitol, threatened pols and carnaged their way through. Don Guano at all his rallies and speeches at podium. The list of film is endless.
More good than bad is preserved? Or is it the bad that is preserved and emulated and copycatted and replayed and relived and repurposed?
I dunno. It's a tossup. Both GOOD/BAD preserved for posterity.
Would we be better off without the reminders of liars and cheaters and traitors and treasonists and haters?
