mountainish inhumanity « PoemShape

What had you got? I'll tell you: you had taught
How insolence and strong hand should prevail,
How order should be quelled; and by this pattern
Not one of you should live an aged man,
For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
Would feed on one another.

'Melania’ Review: A Tedious, Criminally Shallow Propaganda Puff Piece

https://www.thewrap.com/creative-content/reviews/melania-documentary-review/

Although the film ends with a comically large number of chyrons claiming Melania Trump changed the office of the First Lady forever — by doing hitherto unthinkable things like [checks notes] meeting the victims of natural disasters — the film's laser-focus on fashion suggests that human interest is a side hustle. "Melania" concludes with a glamorous photo shoot in the White House because, according to Brett Ratner's movie, that's what the White House turned into: A gaudy two-dimensional backdrop that only exists to feed the ego of its current residents, who claim to care about other people, but spend all their time focusing on how good they look while making those claims. 

Meanwhile, innocent people are being shot and killed in public by these people's secret police. They could be doing something about that, but they'd rather sell tickets so you can get a good look at their shoes and hear them sing in the back seat of their limousines. Now that's cinema. Unfortunately.
