Except, since having seen this new production of GLENGARRY, I found myself thinking about a heretical thought. What if we got the room of ourselves from the start? And if, instead of offering a ruthless criticism of capitalism to his Nadir Amoral, instead of representing a seller as a crook, Glengarry Célobrée celebrated from Cécése, presenting it in fact as the quintessence of virility? And if GLENGARRY GLEN ROSSMost probably in a way that a younger matt himself has not fully imagined, offers us a joyful ethnography of Donald Trump's America? The difference, after all, is different Glengarry Alpha DOG Alpha Ricks Boutée, Ricky Roma, who dazzles the public while he peddled without value by Florida Swampland to “Dumb Polacks” and “Deadbeat Wogs”, world class grifter, pushing the diplomas of Trump University and the same Trump Bitcoins?
Although the current renewal has somewhat divided criticism, it was holding me well for me alongside the versions of the room I saw at the Broadway original. With the exception of an intriguing casting decision, which I will arrive later, there is nothing revisionist in the production itself. He remains faithful by word to the puffed history of Mamet of a handful of real estate sellers trying to screw their customers, their boss and each other on the way to the victory of Cadillac which is the first prize of a sales competition. No, the only different thing is the political climate in which we now consider the drawbacks and the fight. This climate, I would say, leave Glengarry Be the Valentine's Day of the cream, the deception and the raw power that she always wanted to be.
A very relevant part of climate change is David Mamet's own well -documented swing on the far right. He publicly disowned his previous life as a “liberal death of the brain” in 2008 test in THE Village voice. At the time, he dressed at least with a certain intellectual conservative tradition of people like Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell and Paul Johnson. More recently, Mamet adopted the pseudo-populism of Maga. In 2011 interview with Slate,, He said Sarah Palin: “I'm crazy about her.” Several weeks after the elections of last November, Mamet written in THE Wall Street Journal To congratulate the president elected for having avoided the “decline and the fall” of America by killing the favorite enemies of men: “The superinich, academic, Islamists, Marxists and media (who) collus to suppress the true and impose the false.”
