socius, but what you select are semiotic chains that are all put together<br />

outside. This does not mean that you are a fascist or that the dream<br />

is fascist, it proves nothing.<br />

There is their madness, when one presses them. The father is not dead<br />

and the girl says: "Let's call the doctor. " Then he says: "No, forget it. "<br />

She says: "Yes, and I'll tell 'em what happened"-implying, of course,<br />

that if one tells what happened, nothing will happen, because when the<br />

others find out the way things happened, they'll realize he isn't guilty.<br />

And he replies: "That won't do, " i. e., in any case they won't believe it.<br />

It's the system; it doesn't quite fit your interpretation.<br />

Yes, but I was careful to say at the beginning ...<br />

. " that the story was only there to make you accept the rest ...<br />

. " because there is something that doesn't fit. Kit, after all, is a guy<br />

who's pretty together. In various circumstances, he shows that he's<br />

an excellent organizer. He panics at the scene of the first murderthat<br />

of the father-because he'd planned everything in order to<br />

leave with the girl. He took a gun, but hadn't foreseen that it might<br />

turn out like that. But then later he thinks things out in detail.<br />

There is always a bit of improvisation, but as far as the essential is<br />

concerned, nothing is left to chance. It is there that, in my opinion,<br />

the film blunders. The way the character has been defined, it's not<br />

at all obvious that he would end up shooting guys around like this,<br />

systematically. The second time with Cato is still understandable,<br />

because he is scandalized that Cato talks nonsense to him (the story<br />

of gold pieces buried in the fields, etc.). He is terribly angry, a shot<br />

is fired as happened with Holly's father. He is infuriated by all the<br />

bullshit. The other murders seem really forced to fit the story.<br />
