Government to all smart, diligent students from poor families who worked really really hard night and day to rise to the top of their class so as to make something of themselves: JOKE’S ON YOU. We don’t care. Now fuck off & get a job stacking boxes or something. https://t.co/ATvpb57BgH

so the US just had an overwhelming nationwide movement to defund or abolish police. Now there’s an election.Two candidates. One tried to call in the army vs the protests; the other chose a cop as his running mate. Both want to give more money to police. #DeclineAndFall

@reid_dc nah nah that’s the official version, the whole movie is totally cynical. But there was a Code, it wasn’t until the ’60s they could do movies where the criminals got away with it.

I’m guessing Greenstreet would spring all of them, including O’Shaunnessy, just to be sure, so that way Sam Spade made sure she wasn’t really up the river for 20 years but would also leave him alone

(since it had already been established that the cops were, indeed, corruptible.) In fact, they already established what would really happen – they’d make the kid the fall guy – then threw in “oh & then they arrested all the other ones too” for the censors, then undid it

only possible explanation I can think of is that the censors insisted all criminals must be arrested, but the director figured the audience would like those 2 criminals, so really Sam Spade was making sure they had the means to bribe the cops to get away

ok so I watched the Maltese Falcon again last night & I couldn’t figure out the end. Why did Bogart graciously give Greenstreet back the $5000 when he was going to narc on him to get him & Peter Lorre arrested anyway?

@Communista2 @gerbilmark @johnnytheshort sure me too – my mom was Hashomer Hatzeir, we were all Zionists, in the literal sense, most of my cousins there have left but they aren’t against the existence of Israel certainly.
