《A Harem Knight (Short 1926)》Storyline
Only child.Janie""s a pretty typical teenager: angry, insecure, confused.I wish I could tell her that""s all going to pass, but I don""t want to lie o her...Lester was living an unhappy, meaningless existence (an admittedly-sedated life) with an unfulfilling job (as an advertising executive) and a family of two contemptuous females who both regarded him as a "gigantic loser.Launch your whole career." Intrigued, she rolled up her shirt above her black lacy bra, but then chickened out.(Myers spied on the two of them from closeby.) Donna explored in the shadowy basement with Jim, as she theorized that Myers"" killing spree was based upon "impulse control disorder" and an uncontrollable rage: "Kind of like a klepto or a nympho or a pyro." Dexter describes how Kidd had blackmailed him into bringing the two magazine employees into the estate to cover the wedding.The film""s main characters all had symbolic names, a Freudian triptych of individuals who all reacted to the horrors of war in different ways:Captain Willard (ego) -- dutifully ""willed"" to carry out his assassination mission "with extreme prejudice"Colonel Kurtz (superego) -- godlike cult-leader, a perfect soldier but ""cursed"" by his dark actionsLieutenant Colonel Kilgore (id) -- a hawkish, flamboyant commander who relished the ""gory"" smell of napalm in the morningThe film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Robert Duvall), Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Art Direction/Set Decoration, and Best Film Editing, but the film won only two well-deserved awards: Best Cinematography (Vittorio Storaro) and Best Sound.
