It seems like everything is going to the dogs. Do we need to be reminded who the dogs are? Well one is Atilla, represented by Donald Sutherland, in Bertolucci's epic film, 1900. Atilla saw himself as his master's dog. In the role of such he murdered in a gruesome fashion and smashed developing brains against the walls. A creature of instinct, not of reason, he eventually delightedly embraces his own death at the hands of the communists, as if the works of a lifetime had met with a seal of approval in the form of violence being exchanged for violence.
A pitbull with lipstick would have certainly approved.
