From the reviews I would not have thought Nelson would be such an interesting character. This was a pleasant discussion and his personal experience with the movie business was fascinating. He seems like a nice guy. It’s sad, though entirely predictable, that he would be attacked for his willingness to explore an American sub-culture merely because of its reputation as “the enemy” of progressives. Whatever happened to intellectual curiosity and artistic freedom?
That was pretty good. I got The Red Pill already because I saw the movie to Paranoid Park and liked it well.
