Hey I think this is a great movie, another wonderful french movie. It's all about a guy with a chicken farm, like in Bretagne and he has a passion for reading french poetry. He reads it to his chicken on his youtube channel for hits. It's also an exploration of his relationship with his wife. Like all wives, she wants money, lots of it, le maximum posible. She yearns for it. It's like the part of her brain wired to her vagina is connected to the part that thinks about money all the time. Interestingly cocaine is said to stimulate the same part of the brain as making money.
I don't know man, the part of my brain that handles french got a bulgarian upgrade which meant mainstreaming the English section to american. Either way it's poultry. But the talent on show in this movie isn't, poultry, I mean paltry: it's great.
You know they say francis bacon invented all that language with his buddies from the English renaissance. It's said he was in love with the princess of france when he wrote his 'shall I compare thee to a summer's day' sonnet. But that history is lost and we got the pigs Tarantino and Weinstein instead. Bacon himself was the illegitimate child of queen elizabeth the virgin queen so no wonder her son rubbed shoulders with french Royalty. The truth matters!
I didn't like the song at the end of this movie but, as usual, the french know how to make good movies.

I believe only in French culture and consider everything in Europe that calls itself 'culture' a misunderstanding, not to speak of German culture.
- Nietzsche
We are all afraid in the face of Truth; and while I recognize that I am instinctively certain and sure of this, that Lord Bacon is the creator, the self-torturer of this most gloomy sort of literature......" (Shakespeare)
"Long are we without adequate knowledge of Lord Bacon, the first realist in every great sense of the word; what he has done, what he has desired, what his experiences have been."
- Nietzsche
Since we've raised the topic of Nietzsche. I had to actually delete the part of the quote above where Nietzsche starts gushing and talking up his zarathustra story. I hate to say it, but while there may be some great ideas and knowledge in his story, it's not really a story even though he tries to make it a story. It's more like a treatise but he continually gushes about it like it's this great story, it's somewhat whimsical. Then he has his book called 'the gay science'. What?! What gay science?
Also he calls shakespeare plays gloomy, even though he's attributing them to Bacon. In fact there's alot of rococo joy to some of his plays although it's pre rococo. The taming of the shrew and the merchant of venice are clearly light hearted. It's clear that while shakespeare has given serious thought to unpleasant aspects of life, he was a happy and light hearted bachelor this Bacon. He actually could not publish plays like Richard 3rd or the like in his own name without risk of arrest. He's also encoded many if his sonnets so that reading the first letter of each line secret messages like whispr Tudor are read. Certainly his mother's court could prosecute him for treason depending what he published in his own name. In fact, taking a risk on aggrandizing an uneducated actor, William Shaksper by having him publish the plays in his own name actually constituted a calculated risk to the actor's life, so Bacon, very sneaky, very conniving. These are things Nietzsche opined above he'd wished he could know about.
Nietzsche was extremely wise and knowledgeable however his zarathustra is not a great story, but it's an important philosophical treatise with a dopy story line. Nietzsche's estimation can be summarized thus:
Human evolution often goes backwards. The folks of renaissance italy were more advanced than the people of nietzsche's time. In terms of china, which Nietzsche barely mentions except as a source of morality along with the jews. It's clear that evolution in china goes back and forth over millennia. There's nothing to say that today's chinese, is any more special or worse than hundreds of other years of chinese. While convenient to blame mao for millions of deaths, anyone in china in those days could go on a free for all as they were different times.
The 20th century would see the battle for the mastery of the planet. Nietzsche actually said that and history saw that it was true. Again very wise. He even has a chapter on why he's so wise and another one on why he's so clever, he distinguishes the two. I can relate but more on the good looking and personality level and also not being fat. Even if I have big stomach bones.
Following this struggle for mastery Nietzsche describes the morass of the creation of happiness and the accompanying last man: the one that says it created happiness and blinks. Again Nietzsche is looking very solid here. 'an ineradicable parasite', climate change anyone.
From this morass, which supposedly last centuries and centuries, the superman arises, according to Nietzsche.
What I can tell you I believe, is that blavatsky was correct in asserting that the next sub race of the current fifth (of seven) root races of mankind (each of which having a subrace), the next subrace is destined to be manifested by the united states of america. So while Nietzsche dismisses americans as 'muddle-headed' people he questions what business he has with. (Answer, possibly as an lsd guzzling musician, son of a vietnam war starting air craft carrier admiral, one would think). His benjiness is not so quick to dismiss the Americans as muddle headed. In fact, blavatsky predicts a kind of superman also in the form of universal adepts. So not just a random adept or superman here or there (something Nietzsche also recognized) but an entire nation of adepts. We'll see. It's not clear that Nietzsche or blavatsky could understand the technology revolution however blavatsky affirms that aliens brought wheat from Sirius, a nearest star to ours, something she says is biologically, scientifically provable (that wheat isn't related to earth's wild grass families). If blavatsky and the tibetan masters (jedis) instructing her knew aliens were contacting humans regularly over the millennia, there's no reason to expect they'd be surprised by the technologies of today although they wouldn't have known about them likely.
The world is very complicated today, much more complicated than people from ancient greece or china of the same era could imagine. However nietzsche's prediction that the modern human that creates happiness and blinks would be an embarrassment and a laughingstock: This is solid and you can see that technology is actually making people happier and stupider.
In fact, in light of this great french movie from today, I'd go so far, besides the first winter fire of the season as the weather is finally turning cooler, I'd go so far as to say that today's man of 2021 is rehearsing and preparing its roost, like a chicken about to settle in for the night, for its destiny fast approaching: the last man, a laughingstock or painful embarrassment. This man is fast approaching and has his foot in the door. If you don't believe me, watch Family Guy.
That's most everything you need to know about Nietzsche.
