Review of Last Tango in Paris (1972) by Tasha D — 05 Mar 2015

Ahhh klasik...

I forgot to tell you something. I fell in love with somebody.

M: Oh, isn't that wonderful?

I'm going to make love with him! I'm in love.

M: You're in love? How delightful.

I'm in love! I'm in love, you understand? I'm in love, I'm in love! Oh! You know, you're old!- You're getting fat.

M:Fat, is it? How unkind.

Half of your hair is out and the other half is almost white.

M: In ten years, you'll be playing soccer with your tits. What do you think of that? You know what I'm gonna be doing?

You will be on a... wheelchair!

M: Well, maybe. But, you know... I'll be smirking and giggling all the way to eternity.

How poetic. You know, he and l, we make love.

M: Oh, really? That's wonderful. Is he a good fucker? Magnificent.

You know, you're a jerk. He is like everybody but... at the same time he's different.

---------.

You know why I'm in love with him?

M: I can't wait.

Because he know. He know how to make me fall in love with him.

M: You want this man you love to protect and take care of you.

Yeah.

M:You want this golden, shining, powerful warrior to build a fortress where you can hide in. So you don't have to ever... have... You don't ever have to be afraid. You don't have to feel lonely or empty. - That's what you want, isn't it?

- Yes.

M:- Well, you'll never find it.

- But I find this man.

M: Then it won't be long until he'll want you to build a fortress for him out of your tits and your cunt and your hair and your smile and the way you smell. And... and some place where he can feel comfortable and secure enough so that he can worship in front of the altar of his own prick.

- But I find this man!

M: - No, you're alone. You're all alone. You won't be free of that feeling of being alone until you look death right in the face. I mean, that sounds like bullshit, some romantic crap, until you go right up into the ass of death. Right up in his ass... till you find the womb of fear. And then,... maybe... Maybe then, you'll be able to find him.

But I find this man. He's you! You are that man!
