I went to see this movie. The one about what they did to the Jews in the war.

You went to see a movie?

Lord, what they did to them people.

What kind of dope fiend goes to the goddamn movies?

The Germans decided that they weren't human no more. They just said: "No, you ain't human like we human," and when they said that...hey, man...it just got easy for them to do all kinds of dirt. By the end, all the Germans could do was get rid of them. Kill them all. 'Cause you know, they couldn't see them being anything better than rats or bugs.

That sounds like a miserable-ass movie.

But it was real, all right? And I'm sitting there, and I'm watching this movie. And I'm realizing...that it's happening again.

How do you mean, Gary?

Man, we're sitting here, day after day, making ourselves a little bit less human. And the world's happy to see it. It seems like they're happy to see it, man. I mean, when I was making money,
it didn't matter...'cause I was still a nigger. Now that I'm sitting up here, getting high with y'all, it's still the same.

You talk some crazy shit, Gary.

Don't you see what I'm saying? The Germans made the Jews into niggers. That's what that was about. That's what this is here, except we're doing it to ourselves. It seems like the world just can't wait for us to finish...until we all end up dead.

Man! Just shut up and shoot dope.

The Corner - In 6 Folgen à 1 Stunde erzählt David Simon vom (wahren) Leben einer Familie im Ghetto Baltimore's. Ich habe mir das alles an einem Stück angesehen, weil mich die Geschichte, beziehungsweise der Einblick von 'Ganz Unten', nicht mehr loslassen wollte. Was hier passiert, ist ganz schön erschütternd, allerdings auch nicht hoffnungslos. Wer THE WIRE gesehen hat, wird sich ausmalen können, wie real das ganze wirkt. Vereinfacht und abstrakt ausgedrückt, ist das hier Bubbles auf 6 Stunden Länge. Am Ende gibt es noch ein Interview mit den echten Vorbildern. Fran Boyd, mittlerweile clean und engagierte Sozialarbeiterin dazu: After watching this...after watching this and watching Khandi, who portrayed my character...she really made me...have the opportunity to see just how I used to live. And just watching her has made me...even stronger than what I was before the movie even started.

Großartig. Must-see.
